So I was cleaning a Better Bottle yesterdsy and I was rolling it on its side and it cracked!!! I could not believe my eyes I was not doing anything that I have not done before or on other Better Bottles!!

I am having big problems keeping my fermentation temps low. I can hold it steady at 78 and that's about as cold as I can get it. I know that very hot for this yeast and I'm curious about what the out come will be at this high of a temp. Has anyone else used this yeast at these temps? I'm...

My 90 min ipa was finished in 3 days. Rack to secondary then dry hop. It will be great. If your that worried let it sit for a week or two the rack to secondary and dry hop. fishH2o

Take a look at this one im drinking now ; https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/bitter-wort-218358/ Yes its not the best taste in the world but it is something that you can like. After 3 these things taste great. No it wont win a 1st place but its not bad in fact im liking them. So no dont pour it...

So it finished fermenting and the FG was 1.022. I let it sit on the yeast for another week at about 70 - 72. I was able to bottle it on the 31st. I couldn't wait any longer so I just cracked one open. For only a week conditioning it had a good head and a great flavor. Its a little intense to say...

Agreed!!! Im going to bottle today so I will have two empty carboys. Im going to do a DFH 90 min clone for sure.. So I think im going to do the APA. Most of the beers I brew have a high ABV so I might like to have something in the 5 - 6 ABV range. Any APAs you guys and gals just love? Since Im...

i can keep it 60 right now. Im in the process of building out a mini-fridge for a fermentation chamber so lagering a little later.

I have a wit in the primary right now. I was thinking of a porter too but I was swinging away from that because of the stout but i might just do that.. So a porter is on the list but not the highest priority. So I need one more before next weekend and that will get me two for saturday...

So right now i have a Belgian dub in the bottle, a stout and a brown I will bottle this weekend, and a wit fermenting for the next 12 days. This weekend I will empty two carboys. Im going to do a DFH 90 min IPA clone but what should I put in the other? Also, if I have too many choices i will go...

So im thinking of getting this kit in extract. has anyone brewed this and if so how did it turn out? Thanks, FishH2o :tank:

I grew up in Houston and I miss specs more than my parents ;-) Seriously I remember when the downtown location was the only one and I used to make it a 1/2 day shopping trip. Im glad you enjoyed it! :ban:

What i do is make the starter and let it stir on a stir plate for 24 - 36 hours. After that I put it in the fridge and let it settle out for a day or so. On brew day I set it out and let it warm as I am brewing. While the boil is going on it decant the old beer off the yeast and let it warm...

That's awesome! Sorry she's only 13 so not just yet :) Thanks, FishH2o

Awesome! So the old hops and crap won't matter? Also, what about pitch rate I'm sue I have more yeast than needed. Thanks, FishH2o

So I have a brown ALE that fermented out very nicely. I'm going to let it sit on the yeast cake for another week 4 weeks total. The OG was 1.065 and the FG 1.014 the numbers may be off just a little... Now to my question I am going to bottle this next Saturday and I was thinking of brewing this...

You are 100% correct! Sure we can find away in any contract to make what we did at that moment good for us and you know what if you can sleep at night thats all that matters. If they feel like they did nothing wrong then so be it. It's like taking the trailer out of trailer park trash... You can...

I agree! I was not a fan at all way too sweet and it almost tasted like a whiskey to me. I have a bottle I'm saving for a few years to see if age helps.
