    My first imperial stout

    So it finally stopped bubbling and I decided to switch the lids back to a normal lid with a regular bubbler. When I took the lid off, there was zero krausen floating on top and I noticed that I'm not missing a half gallon of beer. Is this common to lose so much during the active fermentation?

    My first imperial stout

    I was able to come up with a solution with an extra food grade 5 gal lid from Lowes I had, some extra 5/8" tube I had left over from another home project and a 5/8" paddle bit. I think I'm gonna go to Lowes tomorrow and pick up a thicker hose

    My first imperial stout

    HELP! I'm 24 hours from pitching and i keep getting blow off. I cleaned int and replaced the bubler and it blew off about 3 minutes after I replaced it and this I've done this 3 times now. I don't have a blow off tube on hand, what can I do? should I scrape out some krausen next time it happens?

    I also plan on letting it sit for 6 months in the secondary before I drink so hopefully the bitterness will subside.

    My first imperial stout

    bittering hops were 2 oz of magnum. Looking at the directions again, it says "Bittering hops boiled for 60 minutes" next to it. The second addition was supposed to be 2 oz cascade and that says "Flavoring hops boiled the last 5 minutes" next to it. I think I should be ok but if anyone has...

    My first imperial stout

    I brewed my first all grain imperial stout yesterday and after I checked the OG, I tasted it and it was VERRRRY bitter. My recipe called for 60 minute hop addition and a 5 minute hop addition. I skipped the 5 min because I am one of those rare people that do not like hoppy beers and I figured...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Creme Brulee Stout

    I know this is a reallllly dumb question, but as a rookie brewer, I have a lot of them. When it says "Batch Size (Gallons): 6", is that the final measure or is that what I start with? This sounds like a great beer and I'm anxious to give it a shot.
