I can cold crash, and was going to start tomorrow night with the hope I have time to bottle saturday. But if I don't get to it, I will leave it at cc temps while I am gone! Thanks for the advice!

I brewed this 11/29, dry hopped 12/5. I can either bottle this saturday (12/11) or when I get back from vaca 12/18. I'd like to get it done this saturday, but if I can't squeeze it it, will it affect my beer?

I'm in!

Finished at 1.014. Dry Hopped for a week, now I'm cold crashing. Smells awesome! :rockin:

Thanks, seems to still be chugging along :mug: Depending on how things play out this weekend, I will probably dry hop on Monday.

Quick update and follow on question. After 4 days fermenting (and still going according to my hydro), I'm down to 1.018. All my previous batches (all 8 or so) have been done fermenting is 48 hours or so, and all started faster as well. Is the lag or the length a good thing, a bad thing, or...

OK, so kinda funny, but shows my level of (im)patience. They hydrometer reading I took this am has started to ferment right in front of my eyes. A little krausen ring, and OG has dropped to 1.062. I'll get back to work now and stop bothering you guys :D :mug:

two packs is underpitching (6 gallons into fermentor)? I thought that was plenty?

Yeah, my hydrometer is stuck at 1.070.. Which is my OG :confused:

I re-hydrated. ~ 6 gallons into fermentor btw.

I just brewed a (BIAB) batch of IPA, OG 1.070. I pitched 2 packs of Safale-05. 24 hours in no sign of activity, no change in OG. My yeast was a little old (6-8mos?) but has been kept refrigerated. How long should I wait before pitching more yeast? 48 hours? longer? This is my 6th biab...

17,925 +5gal M80 IPA +10gal ZD +5gal PTE +5gal 2 hearted = 17,950

Just brewed my second batch today. Sub'd some mosiac for some of the citra (and increased to total a little as well). We will see how it turns out!

Drank a bottle of my first attempt last night. Very tasty, but needs more time (only 1.5 weeks in the bottle). Question, the beer was clearer when I bottled it that it was drinking it last time. Will more time help?

bottled mine today. Tasted pretty good flat and warm, can't wait till it's cold and carbonated :D

+ 5Gal Hoppy Amber Ale + 5Gal IPA + 5Gal Zombie Dust Clone =8374

My batch is chugging along in the fermentor. Down to 1.012 from 1.078 after 3 days (I'm still figuring things out, I was clearly a little short in the water department, while my efficiency went up a bit from my last brew). Looks and smells great, I guess it's just gonna be close to 9% abv ;)

I used Safale-04. Current temp (3 hours later) is 66. So pretty good it seems ;)

Brewed this today. It's currently in the fermentation chamber. I do BIAB, but I underestimated water volume somewhere and only got 5 gallons into the fermenter. OG 1.078. Guess it's gonna be a little strong ;) One question, I pitched the yeast at around 78. I put it right in the...

Thanks, I have a mini-fridge with an STC1000, tape the probe to the side of fermenter with some bubble pack to insulate. worked really well on my last batch. I guess I'll lower the fermentation temp a little. Did you increase it after active fermentation was complete? And thanks for the...
