Also the grains were ground rather well from my local homebrew. I just got a NB hrain kit in and in seems more wholesome?

Hey Guys first AG 5 gal. batch here. Im about 10 days after bottling and the beer has a distinct grain or husk flavor that i noted when I taste tested after the OG check. I think I know the culprit.... so I messed up and mashed a gallon of water over which I boiled off at an extended boil of 90...

Not exactly but it remains consistent. I ferment in a closet, set my thermostat to 67 in the house. In the fermenter for the first couple days its about 72f degrees(+5 above ambient), then lowers. When the fermenter temp comes down after the 3rd day or so, i raise the house temp back to 70ish...

Cool cool. I got the 3068 wyeast as well, my order is in on the way. I did my last hefe(extract) around 72 with the 3068. Not really much banana flavor, some clove. Also a little fusal achohol flavor, not too bad though. I fermented two weeks in primary and it was done. Im shooting for the...

Never tried a starter. Add it to a little wort? Like mix the yeast with some wort in a separate container then pitch?

Right on! Good info here. When you say under pitch, by how much about?

Hello I have a few questions for anyone who brewed with this kit. What yeast did you go with? Fermentation temperature? Did you secondary? If not, how long in the primary? (obviously after achieving the correct FG)

This just happened to me with my first all grain hefeweizen batch. Rotten egg smell and all, never had my fermentation smell that strong. Seems to be doing fine though!

Gonna try this on my first AG batch this weekend!

Opened one today a lot better! I think some more days in bottling will help

Whoops..... I poured the hot sugar mixture into the bottling bucket right off the stove. Siphoned beer onto it right away. I followed the other instructions exactly.

I will try that! Do I have to boil prime sugar 15 minutes and why that long?? Thanks!

I put the sugar water mixture in the bottling bucket of course. The abv is 4.5%. The OG was 1.049 and fg 1.015. I think it came out good just inconsistent, slow carbonation. Im gonna do single sugar portions with a funnel as suggested above in a thread. Seems consistant enough until I go to the...

I have the bottles in my closet at room temp, about 69 degrees. I also fermented at that temp. I wonder if I should heat up that area a few degrees 🤔...

Nope they are in my closet

Awesome! It would definitely be worth a shot. Ill look out for those at the store

Adjust heat up - that wasn't explained well. I meant warm up the area where the bottles are finishing by a few degrees to get yeast moving faster to make co2

I called my local brew store. He suggested giving the bottles a little* shake and adjust heat up a few degrees. He thinks Im not mixing the sugar well enough - i bet he is right.

Right on. The Fizz drops didnt fit the best either - i swished each drop around in sanitizer then that helped assIst the drops into the bottles

I have an awesome brew store by my house that I will be getting all my grains from
