I decided to give it another big swirl yesterday. Another ? i have is should i put the bucket in the fridge to "cold crash" and try to clear it up before bottling?

thanks for the advise. I aerated as much as i could with a spoon before i double pitched with liquid yeast. think i'll let it sit for another week or two then bottle.

fermenting for about 2.5 weeks now. Now that you ask me that i am not really sure why i thought it was stuck. i guess because per instructions somewhere along the way i read 2 weeks was the time for the target gravity to be hit. i talked to LHBS(who has been very helpful and informative) and...

with a stalled yeast I'm trying to get back to life to get my gravity reading to reach its target; how many times can you shake the fermentation bucket until unwanted effects may occur? I didnt plan on using a secondary. OG 1.075 FG 1.013 per recipe. my OG was 1.090( i did add extra sugar to...

About the same as in a little warmer or cooler?(i assume cooler) so That should be a good place to bottle condition correct ?

I was just given a side by side fridge and will be using it as my main fermentation chamber. I'll be fermenting two 5 gallons at a time.I will be getting either a johnson or a ranco thermostat for temp regulation. I have read many threads about one vs the other if anyone cares to comment on a...

Thank yall

Is a 6 gallon carboy enough to primary ferment I got a 5 gallon batch in thank you. I'm at a store and they have two for $25 apiece

yes i had to try each one a couple times to make sure they were bad.

put an imperial stout in primary 1.5 weeks ago. should mix great with some eggnog xmas morning!

they make a ranch double ipa that was brewed for philly beer week that is outstanding as well

got a sampler of magic hat and hated everyone till the last drop. SN bigfoot barleywine was first beer i have poured out since the first time i tried guiness in high school(it didnt taste like milwaukees best!) who knew.

thanks

dang! was just curious as where i was. maybe ill wait. dont really have any concerns

thanks to the both of yall Im gonna check to ease my mind

I hear ya, but do you take reading in between or just check gravity at the end?

I have two brews in primary currently since 21 and 22 september(my second and third homebrews ever). An Imperial Stout and an Arrogant Bastard clone. After reading a ton of threads on here i have decided to skip the secondary fermentation and keep in primary for approx 4-6 weeks to let it come...

im still confused on what you actually used. but anyhow, i used 2 white labs california ale V 051 vials (in a stout on accident: was supposed to use it for my arrogant bastard clone. we will c how it turns out) anyway i pitched 21 sep and it wasnt until the morning of 23 sep that i saw some...

Congrats! there was a post here not long ago about someone finding 19yo home brews. If i remember correctly. Dont know if he tried them yet.
