I think I agree with you, I looked at the temp on side of carboy and it was about 59-64 range in the 3 weeks I looked... So based on what you've said, I am going to make a starter and repitch. Do you think I should just repitch right on top without introducing oxygen to it? Or should I rock it...

I had to top off about 2 gallons of water, so could be a mixing issue for og.

OG supposed to be between 1.068-1.072. It was from a kit. I fermented 3 weeks as it suggested. It was at about 70 degrees when I took reading and about the same when I pitched the yeast. This was a dry yeast and recipe suggested just sprinkling it in, so no rehydrating done. I have removed keg...

My thought was to take it out of kegerator, get it to room temp, transfer to carboy and repitch yeast, try and get something going again? Thoughts?

Okay, so this is only my fourth beer and I think it may be a disaster! So, it's a kit for a vanilla porter recipe can be found here: https://www.boomchugalug.com/downloadables/recipes/monkey_finger.pdf. I used the dry yeast suggested. We have an original gravity of 1.05 which is wayyy off! I had...

That's what I've figured, any paranoia I've had thus far has been fine with some patience! Primary - Pumpkin Ale Secondary - Sasquash Ale Kegged - Banana Peel Head

I am using a blowoff for the first time and I am getting a ton of wort/krausen coming through the hose. Is this normal? I had about 4-5 inches of headspace in the carboy when I pitched. Just a very vigorous fermentation!! Primary - Pumpkin Ale Secondary - Sasquash Ale Kegged - Banana Peel Head

Okay, it has almost beer 48 hrs and I still have no bubbles but I do have a small white foam. I did purchase more yeast, but I may wait now. I am not taking a gravity reading because I currently have no way of getting the beer out of the carboy. I have included a pic, let me know what you...

thanks for the insight. I aerated it for about 2 min of rocking back and forth. And I tried to take a gravity reading and failed miserably! HA. This is my second batch and I did the gravity before adding my additional 3 gal of watcher after cooling it. SO I did not get a proper reading. I may...
