I've got a Brown Ale thats been in the Primary for 10 days. The airlock hasn't had any activity for about 5 days so I opened it up and took a hydrometer reading. Its 1.010 . Im going to wait another couple days and take another reading but I think its finished. My question is can I leave it in...

I made a batch of Eds Afpelwein today and after I got everthing mixed together and moved my carboy to the closet I noticed about 5 or 6 gnat sized insects floating on top. After checking everything I found that they were in my corn sugar not many just 3 or 4 in a 1lb bag. I really wouldn't worry...

They are already dead. In fact they look dehydrated. I opened a bag and removed a couple, put them in some water and they swelled up some. If they were processed with the sugar I'm not to worried about it.

Yep bought it pre-packaged. I still have some in the packs with insects in them thats how I knew it was the sugar. They are not alive but if you look close you can see a few in the bag.

Well called Carlson today and they ran the numbers and came up with 46. So I downloaded Beersmith and I came up with 18.5 for a 2 gal boil and 36.2 for a 5 gal boil. I didn't realise that it would be that big of a difference with different boil sizes. I guess I'm gonna make it as is with a 2...

Nick your numbers and the ones on the kit instuctions are way different. They have a starting gravity of 1.050 to 1.055 with a IBU of 40 to 60. But your numbers are correct using the formula in my book I come up the same as you. That is strange because the numbers that they have listed on the...

No not a local shop we were on a trip an stopped at a shop. He had just gotten a order in and had several boxes that he hadn't unpacked so I grab 3 out of one box that were supposed to all be English Brown Ale which I have made before. When I got them home I discovered one of them was a pale...

nallanrex, I have never seen IBU's expressed as .377 the books I have express them as 25.5 , 30 ect.. is this a different unit? I would leave the recipe alone if I would drink it but I just don't like that much bitterness. Thanks for your help.

Thanks nallanrex , I forgot the hops schedule and boil/batch size but you are correct on everything except I do a 2 gallon boil. That does sound low. I was hoping for something along Newcastle bitterness level.

I picked up the wrong kit a couple of days ago and didn't realize until after I opened it. It is a Brewer's Best American Micro Style Pale Ale. It includes: 2 cans of Munton's light malt extract 3.3 - lbs each, 1.5 ounces of cascade bittering hops, 1.5 ounces of williamette finishing hops...
