OK, made a little mess... but no big deal! OG 1022 Ill be brewing Saturday. Hope these guys are ready to ferment! QUESTION: What ratio do you use cup/liter in order to hit 1030 or higher... Thanks guys! J

Re-pitched yesterday... all is well. Guess I'm pitching the yeast when its too warm... Just purchased a counterflow wort chiller... should solve that problem in the future. LOL J

It seems to me that utilizing a mash tun is just adding an extra step. In fact, you could technically build a grain holder that you submerge in your brew kettle. Bag or whatever takes the place of.it... I imagine it would be cheap to build and very easy to clean. Especially if you build a...

Around 85F

OK now I'm confused... Just brewed a Porter. OG 1040, Pitched 11g of S-04... 72 hours and nothing...even checked the gravity... and still nothing. Temp hasn't budged from 64 degrees??? I used a muntons no boil kit w/ hops pre added, and brought it up to 200F, just to keep it sanitary. ITALY...

Decided to brew today... and thought while I'very got.everything out, I might as well take a gravity measurement. I'm sitting right at 1.030 after 4 days... right o. Schedule. Beer tastes great too, just young! No worries... now its just a waiting game. Later. J

Awesome... keep them coming. Thanks!

OK, need a challenge... but also a drinkable beer that almost everyone will enjoy. I'm just looking for kits that you enjoyed brewing and drinking... Any recommendations are welcome. Looking to brew this winter... Thanks!

I've seen some you tube videos about all grain brewers bagging their crushed grains and steeping them in their brew kettle vs. Running them through a mash tun and sparging the grains. Instead... you just pull the bag out of the water, and collect the excess. Is this still all grain brewing...

Ill wait a week per my original plan... and take a reading Sunday night. Krausen has dropped... airlock is stopped. I haven't found any leaks... I figure one of 2 things happened: The wyeast was a ridiculously slow starter... OR the 12 grams of dry, was beastly. I'll be patient for now...

Simple question... Brewed a 4.25 gallon batch of cream stout. OG 1062 Pitched a wyeast London ale 1028... never started... took 2 weeks to get here usps! So I re-pitched muntons dry (hydrated) ... After 2 days fermentation has stopped... will it start up again? There has been no more than...

Ok, a couple of things have changed... but the challenge is only getting better! PRIZE: Loser buys winner 2 extract/full grain (bills) kits of his or her choice... CHALLENGE: WHEN: Starting Dec. 1st until Feb. 3rd (total brew time) WHAT: 2 BREWS-- 1. Hop Head Double IPA 2...

Well, the guy that introduced me to brewing has been telling me that spending money on a therminator is a costly investment when he already brews good beer... I see a lot of room for improvement on both our brewing fronts and figure we could use all the help we can get... Fair enough? This...

I don't think the time will be "lost", and I know it will take longer than a year... thank you all for the good words... I feel like this it going to be quite the ride! I figure it will take me a year to learn my process, and lifetime to perfect it! - J

I am BRAND new to brewing... I have purchased a beginners kit from Midwest Brewing and I'll be firing it up when I get back from business travel. Either way, I plan to lose an entire year to learning this craft and look forward to leaning on the many years of experience in this forum. By...
