I'll definitely wait three days and check again. Don't worry about getting brewing. Two more batches already fermenting :)

My hefeweizen (wlp300) has been in the fermenter for 10 days and I though the yeast was dead. No sign of activity in the airlock. I was about to panick and throw in some safale 05 but did some reading on the forums and figured it might still be fermenting. Sure enough, it has dropped down from...

Boiled down more than expected. Ended up with only 16l/4gal in the fermenter. Og 1.060 and ibu 30. Should have added water. Won't be a session beer...

Thanks. If you say simcoe, amarillo and centennial is a good combo I may try that. I was wondering if this looks ok though? 4kg/8.5lb pale ale 2-row 7ebc 460g/1lb vienna 8ebc 230g/0.5lb wheat malt 5ebc batch size 19l/5gal efficiency: 60% est og: 1.043 est abv: 4.6% est ebc: 10.8 (what does...

I would like some input on the hopping of this recipe. The grain is already in the mash and won't be changed. I'll start the first wort hopping in an hour. Calculated OG is 1.046, IBU 24.6 I have 1.1 lb extra light DME that I can add to the boil at 15m as well if so advised. If you want to...

Thanks but I wasn't planning on using any rice. Mainly barley, maybe up to 5% wheat.

I was thinking about brewing a light summer pale ale that would be light in color like a pilsner or a blonde but not using as high % of wheat as most blondes I've tasted and using american/nz/aussie hops. Safale us-05 will be the yeast of choice (have 10 packs of it and nothing else. I will...

Just did another hydrometer reading 1.012 and after that I cooled the sample for a while and it actually tastes good! How?

I just ordered a 15m(50') immersion cooler so I won't be doing any more no chill brews, unless the malt and hops I ordered from another supplier arrives before the cooler that is... As for the bitterness... It's not that I don't like bitter beers. Right now I'm drinking on a commercial ipa with...

The calculated IBU is at 43, but chilling it slowly for 3 hours in the bathtub might have an effect on that. Took another reading. Gravity at 16 now... Tasted harshly bitter... Hope that will change...

I went with all centennial, it's cooling in a sealed fermentation bucket in the bathtub. It will be interesting to check the OG, haven't checked gravity since pre-boil. The setup barely has room for more grain so I guess I will have to purchase some DME for my next batch to get up the gravity if...

I have not yet gotten around to selecting a wort chiller but I went ahead anyway and started brewing today. So I will not be using any wort chiller. The problem is how will this affect the IBU rate on the hop additions? I have also tried to make it easy on myself and make a single hop beer but I...
