i used a vial of WLP 007 and made a starter out of it the day before pitching into my primary. it fermented very very vigorously and krausening was done within 3 or 4 days.

it was an extract with steeping grains. im going to give it a few more weeks and ill crack open another one and i guess we will see from there

wait what advice was that? i dont see a post from him anywhere in this thread

not even if its a slow pour?

**CORRECTION** i didnt mean swing tops i meant a normal 12 oz bottle eg; crown capped. sorry bout that. ill leave em a few more weeks and repost if theres a change. if not im emptying them all into a bottling bucket with a little more sugar and possibly a vial of yeast and re bottling them.

og was around 1.081 so yeah i guess that makes sense that they might take longer. they've been bottled for 3 weeks this past monday. i used standard left over 12 oz pop tops from beers ive drank before (cleaned out of course) theyre sitting at around 65 to 70 degrees depending on the weather as...

I recently finished an arrogant bastard clone that recently just hit 3 weeks in the bottles so i figured it was time to start giving them a try. what i found was something of a shocker...the bottles have extremely low levels of carbonation (of the 6 or so that have been opened) I can detect a...

u dry hopped with magnum? thats an interesting choice

you didnt let them condition for nearly long enough. give em at least two weeks if not more to carbonate properly. ull thank me later

just checked the bottles, in short u were right there was a decent layer of yeast on the bottoms of the bottles i didnt cross check with one of the sixes that stayed in normal conditions though. i turned them upside down and swirled a decent amount so they should be good now

they were in there for only about 16-18 hours do u think that's really even necessary?

I just bottled an arrogant bastard clone (hopefully its a clone) last night with a bunch of friends and i just found a six pack of it in my refrigerator. i know if i leave it in the fridge it will never really carbonate as it should so i took it out and put it with the rest of the bottles...

the website says english yeast. maybe 007?

i have no idea what the OG was because my ******* brewing buddy dropped my hydrometer on the floor. judging by what we put in it should be around 1.081. i guess ill see when it comes out. smells good so far

ill post up with the results in a few weeks when its done, or maybe even with the early tastes from my hydrometer readings altho i have no idea about how this yeast behaves as far as late fermentation cleanup is concerned so that might not prove helpful

I made a batch of arrogant bastard ale clone last week and during the better part of the karusening stage the temperature was aroudn 76 deg F. I used WLP007 dry english ale yeast I didnt realize because i cover my fermenter in a towel to keep the light out. after about 2 days i looked and saw...
