I gotta take another look I thought I had unchecked the use stir plate option but I may have missed it thanks anyway

Didn't think about that really, I don't have a stir plate just giving it a swirl every so often

so prepping for a brew day at the end of the week here and i head over to yeastcalculator.com to get my numbers for my starter and just out of curiosity i ran the numbers through beersmith as well and well yeast calc is coming in at about 40 billion cells more than beersmith anyone ever come...

The final product.... Not super hoppy but not lacking in it either, good head retention-might need to back down on the cara next time, mild fruit notes overall I think a easy drinking wheat-ish ipa

Wheat-ish IPA

took a gravity reading on this today and came out to 1.011 gonna take another one in a couple days to see if it keeps going down anymore... O.G. was 1.060. gonna cold crash this before kegging im just wondering should i wait until my days are up for my dry hop or if i start cold crashing it at...

nope did not realize that

i did a saison back in march with the 3724 yeast it started out at 1.050 (estimated 1.052) and finished a month later at 1.010 (estimated 1.008) temp stayed steady at about 74-76 degrees, i was worried id have had to find a way to ramp the temp up on it but i guess i just got lucky with it, just...

Brew day went pretty good id have to say, got a little bit lower of a O.G. than expected but not sweating that too much. The one thing that did come up that was extremely frustrating was transferring the wort to the fermenter after cooling it down to ideal temp, how does one deal with trub i.e...

okay i just wanted to throw it up on here before either trying it or panicking and going to get more yeast. It had me wondering just from some how to videos and articles Ive been going through they have all have very prominent layers of yeast on the bottom of their flasks. Thanks

So I did my first yeast starter for an IPA I am planning on brewing today. Let it sit for 48 hours swirling it occasionally since i dont have a stir plate, put it in the fridge to crash cool it overnight, checked on it this morning and this is what it looks like. Is this okay? Im not sure it...

went and bought ingredients for a weekend brew day took in the info you guys were throwing around and came up with this this 6# Pale 2 Row 3# Vienna 2.5# White Wheat .5# Cara-Pils 1oz Centennial - 60 min boil .5 oz Citra - 20 min boil .5 Citra - 5 min boil 1oz Citra - hopstand 30 min...

i had the same reaction as you after my first all grain brew...simply put like @Revvy said just walk away and relax for a few days then take a gravity reading

wow alwasys thought it was a lot more complicated than this but that seems straight forward enough thanks guys

@IslandLizard ---- are you able to provide any more info on doing a starter? I understand the point of it, to get more yeast going for when you pitch into the fermenter, but I cant find anything on here about how to actually do a starter, as Ive never done one before

wow, a lot of info to take in, thanks everyone definitely gonna utilize some of this info now and save some for later on- another ipa or tweaking this recipe

revamped the recipe and took the hop additions into consideration for it, still comes out to 60 ibus which is what i was aiming for, i appreciate the input, just curious what do you mean by the first 3oz hop addition where you say "in hop stand"

was looking at doing something different honestly, was just sitting there thinking of an all wheat ipa thats about it, thats why i asked for and advice cause i havent seen one of just all wheat

I do the transfer to help eliminate trub from the final product, and yes to the second part there too, also looking at recipes it seemed like a lot of IPA brews were 90 min boils so I was just emulating that going with 90 min

not sure if this is in the right spot but posting it here as im still in the beginning stages of homebrewing, i have 3 brews under my belt 2 extracts and 1 all grain which was a saison me and a nuddy put the recipe together for looking for some feedback on this ipa recipe i put together here...
