Hows your temperature? Belgians can stand (and succeed) at higher ferm temps. You might want to raise the temps a few degrees and see if that kicks off fermentation again. worth a shot. edit: just saw your temps.. maybe a few more degrees? I've read belgians can finish high...

I received S-04 and the fermometer from MMB! Thanks again... Next year, I'm sure I'll have some goodies to pass forward...

Thats what I would think too... I've got a copper tube that runs under my deck to a spigot, and if it doesn't drain well it will burst just like that...

may not be appropriate, but RDWHAHB? Congrats... we are expecting our third in March...

944play, I only took a stab at creating the recipe in Beersmith, since it was a prepared recipe from my lhbs... I'm also not all that well versed in the program all that well. The wort was not all that hoppy when I tasted my hydro sample, so it should be pretty darn tasty in a few weeks...

Thanks... Can't wait to try this one (in about a month and a half :) )

It certainly was great, compared to all the things I've been preparing myself for... The one thing I learned, was I need a trustworthy analog thermometer... my MLT only loses 1 degree per hour... so that was good... my burner and pot handled everything great, and my homemade chiller worked...

ok it was pretty short... since I ended up cooling down to about 55-60 degrees (depending on the thermo). Probably only 5-10 minutes... Either way, I just grabbed a hydro sample after it sat in the fermentor for a few hours and it was nice and clean, and 1.05, so I guess I did ok...

Just did my first ag batch today in a converted cooler I did myself. I ended up doing an ESB that I figured would go over well with family and friends. Here is my best guess at the ingreds: Amount Item Type % or IBU 8.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 85.74 % 0.50 lb...

as an active offshore fisherman, if you choose to enlist with CG or reserves, you deserve a big thank you! I have heard and seen many things on the water that would really scare any sane person... relying on someone else to save a life is a big responsibility. Just want to say thank you to...

well, two weeks ago sunday, i had a few beers with the neighbors, got back home, got the kids in bed, popped a homebrew, and decided that I should bottle a batch. Got it transfered, primed and set the bucket on the table. Got through 15 bottles, and noticed the bucket starting to shift. I...

Hard Pack Ale?

S-04 sounds good! Thanks!

Not so much... more of a big sad stain... if anyone is into saltwater fishing, I'm sure I could whip some stuff together...

I'd love the thermometer or the yeasts...

I'd like to offer my beer soaked carpet after my 5 gallons of beer fell over on bottling night :) Not sure on the shipping tho...

yup... I knew to do that one too... just got lazy and didn't want to clear off the counter top. I completely deserve this, for sure... I tried to take the easy way out (should've known better).

wow... so for 2 bucks I could have saved my batch... darn... I figure my 12 pack is Celebration will end up costing somewhere close to 400 bucks... ouch....

Billy, I use that store as well. Thats where I first brewed, and purchased my starter kit. I have also been getting my extract recipes from there. I've been very happy with the results. I would definitely check out what they have to offer.
