Cool. Sounds like a plan.

So, after being at 70 all of last night and this morning, I came home from work to find the bucket temp at 68 with decreased airlock activity. I'm guessing it's time to move it indoors? I wasn't planning on adding the first dh until Saturday night but since I will be taking a reading I guess...

Cool. I was planning on doing my first dry hop addition saturday night.I might just do it when I move it inside and take that first gravity reading, or should I wait for fermentation to complete before adding the hops?

So I got home from work and even though my fridge was still at 62, my fermometer sticker was reading 68 and the bubbles on the airlock where going faster than they where this morning. Should I try to bring the fridge temp down a few degrees to get the wort temperature in the 64 range during...

Hi Guys, So my beer has been fermenting nicely these last few days. The adhesive thermometer started at 61 and has gone to 64 over the last couple of days. It seems that I might be at the point, based on some of the posts I have read on this thread, where I want to slowly start ramping up to...

Okay, so I decided to crack the bucket open a bit to peek inside. I know some people are against doing this but Im having an inpatient type of day. There was a thick white foam on top and it smelled delicious, so I am taking these things as good signs that fermentation is happening. Two...

So, I brewed the beer saturday night and everything went well except for two things: 1. While I was pitching the pure pitch pack part of the package fell on the wort surface as I was cutting it. Picked it up with minimal contact but am still a little worried about contamination. 2. Pitched the...

Brewing tonight hopefully. Do you guys think 3 or 6 of honey malt for steeping? I've been reading it can be pretty overpowering.

Just received a pound of Citra hops to use just on this beer! Can't wait!

Upping the wheat DME would actually get me to the right OG since I am leaving out the CARA. I just don't want to do it if it will affect the flavor profile negatively. I also don't mind just adding the .25 since a lower OG is not a problem for me.

Okay, I ordered all the ingredients for the beer and they are on the way. I decided not to mash for this one as its my first beer in 4 years and I want to keep it simple (Planning to move to BIAB after this batch and try the exact same clone for my first beer). I am planning on steeping some...

What modification would you make, I am not really expert with conversions.

I will try it out.

I was just using them for the mouthfeel and head retention, not really caring about getting any fermentable sugars out of it. Do you think this is a bad idea?

So I was able to get the honey malt. Planning on steeping 6 Oz of that and 6 Oz of flaked oats together before the boil. Does that sound right? Any suggestions?

Okay. Found some honey malt. Planning on steeping 6 Oz of that and 6 Oz of flaked oats together before boil. Does that sound about right to you guys? Any suggestions?

Hey, so if the oats are there mainly for mouthfeel and not for fermentables, do you think it would be okay just to steep them?

Great. I think I am for the most part set. Just two things: -I couldn't find Honey malt, so should I use around 6 ounces of cara or just forget about it all together? - Do you use the traditional corn sugar for bottle priming or do you do anything special for this?

I was planning on Dry Hopping in primary after fermentation was completed. Do you think I should crash cool before DH as well in order to have less yeast floaties in the wort? Will these floaties even affect the DH Process?
