The recipe is for 5 gallons, i just divide everything for 5 since i brew 1.

I dry hop after two weeks of fermentation, by that time FG should already be stable, i ordered a refractrometer to make sure but it has not arrived yet...

I heard Ballast Point's Sculpin has 1oz per gallon for dry hop, if that is the case it would make perfect sense to triple my dry hop addition. I just don't understand why every recipe i try will use around 0.2oz to 0.3oz of hops for the dry hop if that is not enough...

Thanks for remembering that, i edited the post, in the first 3 batches i used tap water but since then i have moved to spring water.

Hey guys, i have brewed 14 batches so far and still have not produced very good beer, the good news is i am brewing 1 gallon batches so i am not stuck with liters and liters of not so good beer. I was hoping you guys can help me improve my process, i am having a hard time figuring out what can...

Any suggestions of cheap places to order online in Canada?

LOL, cleaning krausen off the ceilling! Good one :mug: I really hope this beer turns out ok, this is a Citra / Mosaic IPA with a huge flame-out addition, so this room now smells like hop heaven!!!

Hey guys, i tried a different cap for my fermenter and look what happened!!! I fixed it this morning but the question now is, what are the consequences of that? Is my beer compromised because of the oxygen exposure? Maybe even contaminated??? Thanks

Yep all that matters is the attenuation really, to be honest i even prefer if the krausen is more under control with this yeast compared to WLP001 because i lost a good two bottles to the blow off tube in my last couple batches, that thing ferments like crazy :rockin:

Well looks like this yeast takes longer to get going, it has a nice krauaen now, still no need for the blow off tube but it is going well for sure. I split the package which i had in the fridge for a month, used half in my 1 gallon batch and half in a 1l 1036OG starter. Looks like it is...

Guys, i am using 1217 for the first time, before i always used WLP001. After 10 hours of fermentation there is absolutely no bubbling or krausen. I see no reason why that would happen, the temperature is a steady 19c. Did any of you have a similar experience with this yeast? I usually see...

That is kind of what i am trying to achieve. My question is, why is different storing the content after making a starter? Instead if storing straight out of the package?

I brew 1 gallon batches, i am using starters to overbuild and store, not to reach the cell count.

I thought it would be too small since the package itself is good for a 5 gallon! Sorry i am a new brewer so still learning...

I just fear this is too much yeast for a 1 liter starter which is my biggest vessel. I would kill more cells than promote growth right?

Guys, i got myself a Wyeast i want to try, but since i brew 1 gallon batches i was thinking of opening the package, dividing it in 4 jugs, using one and storing the others in the fridge. The thing is this package comes with an activator thing inside so i don't know if storing straight after...

The thing is i dont whant them to grow too much, i started with 50billion cells and i brew 1 gallon batches. I read that 1020 og is better so the yeast will not get too stressed. I just need to keep them healthy and have minimal growth... As long as i get consistent results with this...

Guys, i am currently creating one 1 liter, 1020 OG starter per week. Since i brew 1 gallon batches i brew every weekend. I always split the yeast from that 1 liter starter into two jars and use one for the brew and the other one for the next starter. My understanding of starters is: - If you...

I am from Brazil and all i can say about cachaca is, it is our worst liquor. Crappy and cheap as hell, will also give you your best hangover ever, by far :) IMHO cachaca has nothing to contribute to a good beer, there is just no refinement, you will not find the qualities you find in a...
