I brewed a Cincinnati Pale Ale and did everything right. This is about 7 hours into the primary fermentation process. I am not going to worry too much about this until 2 days in, but can anyone tell me what this is??? It looks like the yeast is up top, the wort is in the middle, and some of...

I am doing my second batch and its Palmer's Cincinnati Pale Ale. I have been cruising the boards for the past hour and have not found my answer to a few questions: 1. The LHBS guy said with my yeast I do not need a starter, just pitch the dry yeast right into the chilled wort (Safale US-05...

I am planning my second batch for this weekend. My first batch was an IPA extract batch that I am going to transfer to my secondary to make room for my second batch. I haven't quite made up my mind on why type of beer I am going to make, but I would like some suggestions on a little more...

Awesome, thats what I was looking for. Like I said I know this was most likely already answered, but I couldn't find it. Thanks,

Ok, I know this has probably already been answered but I am unable to find it in the fourm. I am going to run my second batch this weekend and I had some problems with a low OG on my current batch. When would be the correct time to take an OG reading? When the wort has cooled, when I have...

Yeah, I was sketched out the other night after what I read online along with what I read in a book. Gld I asked before I started to bottle.

The orginal recipe was 1 lbs of dextrose to be added to the wort and 1.5 lbs of dextrose for bottling, but instead of dextrose I used 1lb dried malt extrat, and was told to use the dextrose to bottle.

Good call then folks, I was planning on using all that dextrose for the beer. I will be using inbetween 5 to 6 oz. now.

What do you suggest I use in place of Dextrose. I was under the impressions that the yeast has to eat while its in the bottle for a few weeks to carbonate it. I know to throw in the fridge to kill the yeast and stop the process when I am ready.

It was a beginner kit. The instructions said boil for 10 min, but it was the same insturction for all types of beer. I Figured I boiled the wort for 45 min, based on what I read out of the brewers bible. There was no hops to be added. It was a malt extrat along with a dried malt extrat in place...

So this was my first batch of beer and I followed the instructions pretty well. I am in the second day of fermentation and since then I have read several chapters and much research to help grow my knowledge of brewing. I know the mistake I have made and will not repeat it, but I believe that my...
