BTW - david_42.. Were u ablt to salvage the Rye flavored bran muffin?

thank u for all the responses. Wilserbrewer: To the best of my knowledge..the HomeDepot label said SS for the piece of waterline tubing that i used for the braid. I was pretty careful about that as i didn't want to use anything but SS for fear of imparting weird tastes. I checked out your...

Tried to brew the Wit today. Tried.. Ran into a stuck runoff that couldn't be fixed. Thought it was the Flaked wheat and perhaps my mill was set to fine. Finesse went out the window. I was trying everthing. Even scooping out the mash and trying to manually sparge with a collander. Pulled...

Nope - brewed beer on 16th. Was planning to bottle on Memorial day when i realized my fermentation was stuck for unknown reasons...could have been the temp. After i gave the primary a swirl it started up again finishing around .10. Nope - i am not a vet playing a prank. Just an overly...

update - went home and gave the bucket a swirl (did not open) afterwards - began to bubble through the night and the entire next day. Will check tonight. I can smell the beer around the airlock so there has the be a small leak somewhere - that would perhaps explain the lack of visible activity.

I may be answering my own question here but if i'm seeing Krausen than everything is probably fine...just moving along slowly...if the fermentation was truly "stuck" the yeast would have settled already and the beer would appear clear on the surface right?

OK - cool. Thanks everyone. I called home and right now there is no activity in the airlock. Will check the gravity when i get home. If i'm seeing Krausen on top of the beer that shows that the yeast is alive and active right? Sorry for being a newbie here...1st batch flying solo...I've...

So should i attempt to gently stir the wort and see if i can re-activate the yeast? Unfortunately i do not have any yeast on hand...I'd have to order some..

I don't think there was a leak...I'm usually pretty good with making sure i have a tight seal.. When i go home tonight I'm checking to see if i still have activity in the airlock. I'm guessing that the activity was just insanely slow due to the amount of water in the airlock.. there was also...

ok - thanks everyone! I'll go home and check on it tonight.. I may need to buy some more yeast...

OK - I'm thinking that the fermentation was just VERY slow due to the overfilled airlock... can the lack of proper ventilation cause the fermentation to slow down?

Thanks David - So - what happened? Why was their no activity and then all of a sudden it started up again...?

I brewed an AG cream Ale last Saturday - OG .055 - after boil and pitched with Whitelabs California Ale WLP001. Fermented in bucket with "S" style airlock. Noticed bubbling one day - did not really pay attention... Bubbling stopped.. - fermentation apparently done. When i went to...

Cool - thanks guys!

Yep - sounds good. Thanks guys!

Bought brand new 40 qt aluminum pot - should i just boil water in it (hate to waste the propane) Or stick it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350? Thanks guys

Thanks guys! The debate between aluminum and ss I'm sure will always continue but for 45 bucks i got a 10 gallon aluminum stock pot for my sparge water. Can't beat it.

thanks guys!!

thanks guys!

Good morning - I'm looking to make a Cream ale in BeerSmith- The recipe calls for a 60 minute boil but the ingredients list the hop boil for 90 mins? Also - being a newbie to AG brewing, If the ingredient list calls for corn flakes, I'm not sure if those should be mashed or simply...
