Should I just throw it out?! It smells of super ripe bananas which is a real disappointment because I wanted a balanced clove favour. Would it be worth it to start over? Or is there some how still hope

Yea but if stopped bubbling in the cooler temp does it mean that it stopped fermenting? Only moved it after 22 hours after pitching the yeast.

I forgot to mention that it fermented in the warmer temp for about 20 hours before I moved it. Is 59 too low??

Just brewed a Hefeweizen! First AG batch!! Started to ferment in a room of ambient temp of 68. The liquid crystal strip read 75!! Way to high and the banana aroma was too much for my liking. I read that 62 f is the ideal temp to get the best balance of crispness, banana and clove. I moved it...

Sorry! so new to this but what type of water profile goes with this style. Right now I only have access to water with a ph of 7. Don't want to try and make this beer but get an off tasting result

really want to kettle mash!!! The only bad thing about it is that I have heard that the temperature dissipates and creates the need to heat up mash during the rest period. I heard someone say that this direct heat makes for a lower yeild. Is that really true?? If so would a bunch of...

Thanks for all the speedy replies and answers, much appreciated!! If I mash in the kettle and use the BIAB it would allow me to do protein rests! If I ever need to. Seems easier to accomplish protein rests while mashing in the boil kettle. If I do end up going with the cooler tun how do I...

I am new to brewing and have decided to do all grain brewing! But I am confused about which setup to use. I have two options: 1-mashing in a cooler mashtun 2-mashing in the boil kettle and sparging in a BIAB sack What I think is best is to mash in the boil kettle. This will give me...
