Checked on it before bed. Already bubbling away! Pitched around 6 EST. Added a 1 inch blowoff so I don't wake up to any surprises tomorrow...

So I brewed up a Tripel today and have some ingredients leftover that I was thinking I could throw together in a 1 gallon batch, but I'm looking for suggestions on what to brew. My leftovers: 10 oz. Munich Malt 0.6 oz. Fuggles Hops 0.2 oz. Liberty Hops I'm open to getting any...

Brewed this up today. OG of 1.078. Planning on hooking up my blowoff before bed based on what I saw with the yeast starter!

This yeast is angry! Woke up this morning to a puddle of the little guys all around my starter (1.5 L in a 2 L flask). I'm thinking I'll need a bigger blowoff than my 3/8" tubing...

Brewing the all-grain version of this this coming weekend. Picked up the ingredients this afternoon and already have the yeast starter going. Did have to make a few substitutions based on what was available at the LHBS: 13 lb. German Pilsner 1 lb. 10 oz. Belgian Munich 1 lb. 10 oz. Homemade...

In for the glasses!?

In!

yep

Also like a belt, it completes the outfit! I would think the yeast still need the oxygen to grow.

Yep

I just brewed a Berliner Weisse that was absolutely delicious going into the bottles (still carbing). Really simple: 50% Pilsner malt 50% Malted Wheat 1 oz. Liberty hops in mash No boil OG ~1.042-1.045 I split the batch in half for the first half of fermentation - half got repitched...

So, 7 weeks ago I brewed my first Berliner Weisse. 4 weeks ago I split the batch - half went onto peaches, half went alone. Today I bottled both batches. The berliner by itself had no issues (I'm new, but I'm not that new!). The peach batch on the other hand had just about everything go...

Plugging all of your recipes into Brewer's Friend, your efficiency is pretty consistent (Batch 1 and 3, 75% dead on, Batch 2 ~72%). I would say definitely concentrate on water volumes. Also as others have said fermentation temps. I use a swamp cooler and just swap out some frozen water bottles...

It definitely sounds like the watery flavor and low OG for your third batch is attributed to using too much water. If you measure your preboil volume and see that you'll end up with too much wort at the end of your boil, boil longer in order to get rid of some of that water. Just don't start...

Sounds like a good blonde to me. Definitely mash closer to 150 F. As for the yeast, if you can keep it cool Nottingham is good. If you can't keep it in the lower 60's, US-05 has made me a good blonde.

This. They're junk if they get wet. I keep floating thermometer in my swamp cooler. $7-8 at the LHBS and I trust the accuracy more than the fermometers.
