+1 Forgot to say that myself.... I also wrapped the frozen water bottles in small hand towels to help with condensation

Fullers ESB

Hey guys, Just got my cooler bag a few weeks ago and I finally got to try it out. The reason I wanted the bag is A) Where I keep my fermenter a swamp cooler will not fit and I didn't want the mess. B) My man cave is always around 72 F so I needed something to help keep the temp...

My very first brew.... Imperial IPA... A pretty damn tasty first brew!!

Hey man, For my very first brew I made a all grain Imperial IPA. I used WLP 001 for my starter yeast. The IPA had a OG of 1.084 and a FG of 1.013. I kept it around 72 because I didn't know any better but if I had to do it again I would do my primary around 66F and secondary fermentation at...

From what I was reading "how to brew" CLR is what he talked about when cleaning the copper.. This is what I use and it works for me.... water, CLR, star san and a 5 gallon bucket -Rinse off the chiller -Add a cap full of CLR to the 5 gallon bucket, fill with water and let it soak. Also I run a...

Thanks man for the heads up on the ESB recommendation.... I'm going to leave it in the primary for the next three weeks. Thanks again

Yeah I just was reading that in "how to brew"...... Been trying to read as much as I can but due to a 3 month old is hard to read more than 10 mins:). Thank man

Crazy question..... Is there a chart or a way to give you a estimated finished gravity?

Our first brew wasn't temp controlled.... This was our first brew (second overall) and we could control the fermentation temp... Last time it was very violent but since the temp was down it was slower and less crazy.... Just got me nervous lol... Thanks for everyone's input!

After a week checked my gravity.... Started 1.066 at 60F before fermentation.... Today a week later at 60F 1.014..... I think it's done.... Anyone agree?

Can do man thanks. I was going to check the gravity on Saturday... The OG before fermentation was 1.066 and I'm wondering what it will be a week later... I'm also surprised at the amount of trub, the carboy was about 1/4 full of trub and now this morning it's less than 1/2 inch... Hoping its a...

The first three days I would say were between 61-64 most... I have it now at a steady 68 and will rack into the secondary on Saturday

Okay thanks guys

Yes... Sorry just typed that up while rocking a baby... Lol sorry about that

Should I just let it be it room temp of about 70? If so how long should I let it stay around that temp? The blow off tube was doing its thing from Sunday from when I came home at lunch... I got home after work and checked the temp of 65 and noticed the blow off tube was very quite

Hey, Just got done brewing my second batch... A ESB and I used a WLP 002 yeast for my starter. I bought a cool brewing bag because 1)I don't have the room for a freezer I can control my fermentation temps 2) My first batch was a Imperial IPA and I kept it around the mid 70's so I wanted...

Just bottled up the first batch, Imperial IPA. Brewing second batch on Sunday a good old ESB

Yeah we broke it down last night while we were looking over the ESB.... Drink one at 2 weeks and so on... Like you said in the last post, only way we are going to tell that it's changing taste. Plus I want to be able to tell the taste of our changing beer. Thanks again!
