still 1.034. and thermometer temp for some reason decided not to come down out of the boiling water i used to sterilize it in. :mad: but my temp strip is reading 64. so after all that where do i stand?:o

thermometer hits 212 at boil and 36 in ice water. I think the ice water is still more water(obviously) so im ok with that. gonna take a read and get back here in a few. Much appreciated.

I just calibrated at 60° and it's still saying 1.002. tap water though i cant get distilled right now

I just recalibrated again at 77° and I'm getting a reading of 1.002 at 77°. My hydrometer was calibrated to be at 1.000 at 60° it says at 77° to add two. so would my reading of 1.002 at 77° actually be 1.004? I got to thinking and i know that my thermometer was 74 when i pitched;however that...

Thanks again I just put two different hydrometers into water at 72° maybe a little higher one red 1.002 the other read less than 1.000 I use the one that read 1.002 to calibrate my wort so now I am even more confused because my gravity readings are even higher than expected. correct?

I never actually calibrated my hydrometer so I guess it might not be a spot on as I thought. one thing I did also forget to mention was that I pitched at a much higher temperature than I thought. my thermometer turned out to be broken it read 74° when I pitched when in reality it was probably...

sanitize a brush and get the top of the bucket. get the outside edge as well. and dont forget the lid

extract. i did a full 5 gallon boil.

First off thanks to all who have responded. I brewed a full 5 gallon boil extract on 22 September it boiled down from 6 gallons to about 4 1/2 I topped off the last half-gallon with water stirred very well. I pitched with the wrong yeast however I was supposed to use white labs Irish ale I...

I brewed a batch of AHBS steamroller stout a little less than a month ago. You can read my thread titled "how much can you shake the yeast" to get a fuller version of my problem. Long story short is the OG and FG per recipe were 1.074 and 1.013. My OG was 1.090 and I am stuck with a gravity of...

thanks for the responce but there is no krausen anymore, just flat wort. also i have never made a starter. i may post a thread about the risk of bottle bombs if i was to prime and bottle. thanks

thanks for the responce. so where would you go from here?

move a thread from one area of discussion to another. I have posted something here that i believe should have been in the beginner forum. thanks

I'm giving a bump to my OP. Its been over a week and my gravity is still 1.034. Per recipe OG 1.074 FG 1.013. My OG 1.090 and as stated I'm stuck at 1.034. Any thoughts on how to repitch would be appreciated. I should disclose that I pitched with a white labs California ale instead of the...

try beers from Terrapin out of Athens, Ga.

less sugar=less calories=less abv%

Man, all he is saying is that HIS beer intake could be beneficial to HIM. PER HIS DOCTOR. I did not take the OP as saying by drinking beer one will become a model of health. :mug:

I dot know about home brews but. Moose drool and goat spit are 2 excellent beers from Montana breweries.

i have only bottled one batch of homebrew so you dont want me to explain ANYTHING to you. but from what i have gathered it is dropping the temp of beer so heavier particulants sink to the bottom and give the beer a clearer finish.

ok thanks
