    Uncooperative Belgian Strong, any ideas?

    On 4.13, I added a 2 L starter of 3711 at high krausen and let that take effect until 5.6, where the FG was 1.018 (even though there was still yeast activity, but since the numbers and the sample were deemed good, I put an end to all that waiting business). After nearly 2 months in the keezer...

    Uncooperative Belgian Strong, any ideas?

    In my understanding, forced fermentations are good for unfermented wort, and my beer is depleted of oxygen, low on nutrients (I even added some nutrients with the champagne yeast, and that resulted in nothing), and fairly high in alcohol, so that may not be as applicable in this case. Thanks for...

    Uncooperative Belgian Strong, any ideas?

    It is based off the brewing classic styles recipe, and the recipe did have 2.125 # sugar (1# demerara and 1.125# corn) to reach target gravity, which is a little more than Jamil's, but I am thinking that the simple sugars are not the ones preventing the FG from progressing further, as they...

    Uncooperative Belgian Strong, any ideas?

    In short, my belgian strong finished too high @ 1.037 (SG: 1.105) and tastes unpleasantly sweet. The recipe is based off Jamil's brew like a homebrewer, and mash temp was 151F. Yeast was Wyeast trappist high gravity (180 mL slurry). Fermentation temps were controlled, starting at 68F and rising...

    I'd like to hop on board with a bag of Canadian 2-row. rattwo, if you're willing to relay my bag from Hermit I can pick it up from you in Akron. I'm from Wooster so that would shave about an hour off my drive. I guess I could also take a bag or two back if someone wants the relay extended this...

    Hermit, do you have plans for tarps to cover the grain being transported in your truck in the case of rain, or is it a bed with a cap on it? I'd be interested in seeing the spreadsheet if they get it up tomorrow.

    Maibock Starter Strategy

    You may be okay; to be sure about complete fermentation with #2 you should do a hydrometer reading. If that says it's done then it is safe to chill it down. If it says it is not yet done then it is possible the yeast will have to go through more of an operating temperature adjustment, which may...

    Maibock Starter Strategy

    Under Palmer and Zainascheff 36 hours should be fine for reaching max yeast cells, but to be sure about complete fermentation you might want to do a hydrometer test at the end of the 36 hours (of the final starter). If it says it's done then you can take a look at the starter after the 12 hours...
