My original gravity ended up being just a few points low. It was a 1.043 out of the kettle. We were shooting for a 1.046 but no harm done. It started at 120 and it took me about an hour to get to about 151 which is low but I figured it was close enough after the last hour of hell. The recipe is...

Just finished getting the mash temp fixed as I missed by at least 20 degrees. Had to thin out the mash and do some emergency decoctions. but know were at a 153 for my new german/american fusion lager. Hope everything turns out as I am running about a 1.85qt/lb grist ratio. if anyone has any...

Here's the deal... Went to the LBS today and picked up some yeast, grains, and hops. Want to do some sort of Vienna Lager in the style of Dos Equis or such. Unfortunatly I strapped and just want to do a simple version for now. This is what I have on hand: ~14# 2-row 1# Vienna 2oz...

So lastnight I transfered and started to wash my yeast but after setting for a whil I'm only getting two layers: beer and dark brown matter. Do I just keep seperating and adding sterile water till the crap falls from the yeast or what? Are you sure the coca will wash out?

Don't get me wrong, I placed in seconday and went on with trying to wash the yeast. My plan is to let it seconday for prob two weeks then it will set in keg for at least two months untill I get a fridge and regulator. I was just curious if someone else had these similar issues. Should I still...
