Sounds great I'll back her down to 58

Yea the Mr.Beer packets are OLD. The reason I think I under pitched is just because my gravity reading was so high. Yeast was purchased hours before I pitched and kept cool. Right now it is fermenting in a converted chest freezer with a temp of 62F. Hopefully I'm just being a worry wort.

A few questions about under pitching yeast. Last night I brewed a Falconers Flight IPA the O.G ended up being higher then expected (1.080) It was late so I just dumped in the WLP001 Pure Pitch without a starter. This morning it was bubbling away and seems to fermenting just fine. So my question...

Thanks for the input. As for the mashing of the munich. I steeped it in 1.5 qts of water at 150 degree water for an hour ,with the crystal. I did it in a dutch oven. which I placed in my oven on the warm setting (155 deg) I then sparged with the same amount of water. This was my first attempt...

A while back I had a thread about brewing a Falconers Flight single hop brew. Due to circumstances (mainly life) I was never able to brew it. Well things have slowed down a bit and I am happy to say that the brew kettle is back in action. Here is the original recipe Dry Malt Extract - Light 9.9...

So after a year I finally brewed this beer. One problem, 45 minutes into the boil I realized I didnt buy Falconers Flight 7C's. Just Falconers Flight. Now the package says it is an aroma hop. However the Alpha is 10.8 % and Beta is 4.6%. I used Brewtoad and it is saying that the IBU's should be...

Having a killer apple crop this year! Problem is I'm running out of Cider variations to use up the endless supply. Edworts Apfelwein is GREAT but I really dont need 20 gallons of the stuff (man thats a lot of headaches ;) ) SO currently I have a batches of Original Recipe Graff, Harvest Graff...

Anyone try using this in cider or apfelwein?

After doing some research I believe that you are 100% correct Yooper , thank you. Still unclear about the color change that occurred , but it's crystal clear now and smells rather pleasant . It seems to me , after reading about the pellicle infection , that it sometimes is a desired occurrence ...

This is the strangest batch I've ever made. It has went through so many changes over the past year . Here are some pictures of whatever is on top. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

No sulfates,doesn't smell bad. Under air lock the whole time . I'm at a loss . Kind of scared to taste it though ! Looks like whatever was black has settled on top of the trub. Think it's safe to drink? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Ok strange things indeed. This perry has changed again . It is no longer black. It started to clear again. However now there is a strange white film on top. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This may be a dumb question but can I steep the Munich or does it require mashing? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I think .5# of c-20 is doable. The idea for this recipe started when I was reading about Smash brewing . I was originally only going to use DME , FF and 001 yeast . However I was reading that most DME isn't a single malt but more of a blend . So I adjusted . Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks for the input! I think I will bump up the hops has suggested . I'm thinking 1oz at 5min. Another 1 oz at flameout , sound about right? As for the grain I do like a more balanced APA. I was hoping the crystal and the carapils would add to the body , color and mouthfeel . Sent from my...

This is my idea for a FF single hop APA. I know the FF is a blend of several hops, so technically I guess it wouldn't be a single hop but..... I'm trying to keep it simple. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially with the hop schedule. 9# Dme (Light) .75# c-60 .5# Carapils 1oz FF...

Back in September I made my first Perry . Crushed and pressed myself and used a very simple recipe. 4.5 gal of fresh pear juice 2# corn sugar 2t yeast nutrient 1 pk 1118 It fermented rather quickly and over the months it became perfectly clear . I was planning on bottling Apr 1. Last week...

Crap! Just brewed this today. Everything went smooth. Then I read over this thread again. I cooked the syrup to 300* ? Think it will screw up the finished product?
