I'm checking temp on my first or second pour.. The keg has been in the Fridge since Saturday morning.. I did move the bottle of water I have the thermostat in towards the front since I had it sitting on the self near the plate that cools the mini fridge... So even having any kind of...

Hello all.. So I am now part of the Kegging community now and I'm so far loving it.. Do have a question though.. I kegged my first keg batch and have it in my Kegerator.. I have my STC-1000 set at 4°c (differential set at .3 and delay at the max of 10). I have the temp prob in a small bottle of...

I do have a Stone Brewery Growler.. Won't be able to see how clear it is but I guess that would be a solution...

Just racked mead to 1 gallon jug for secondary.. Didn't plan right because I still have about 1/3 to 1/2 gallon left.. Only have another gallon carboy or plastic 2 little left. Lol Suggestions??? Lol

Appreciate the help Wezzy.. :-)

I'm cool with the 1.015.. Will give me a 4.5% beer.. Just off a bit from target of 5%. Just using every brew as a learning curve.. This was an extract kit I turned into a partial mash by removing some of the LME and adding in some 2row and mashing.. Trying to better my beer best I can since I...

Hello.. First Partial mash, Amber Ale, and fermentation seems to have ended at 68% attenuation. From what I can tell kind of on the low side for this yeast.. Trying to confirm the issue and I think it may have been the mash itself.. Below are the details; 2-3/4# 2row .25# C40 .75# C120 .25#...

2 gallon batch of Melomel... Pitch 71B yeast hydrated with GoFerm.. How long before active fermentation??? Its only been 3 hours and I know I'm jumping the gun but I heard this strain takes off quick.. Temp sitting at 72 Any info on what to expect would be appreciated... Thanks!!

Its already been bottle conditioning for 3 weeks... So maybe some good cold conditioning in the fridge for some time to drop the yeasties will help??? And thank you for you advice..

Bottled my 3rd batch just under 3 weeks ago.. A Pumpkin Pie Spice.. Currently almost 6 weeks old.. Tasted great at bottling, little light in spice added some more at bottling.. Now beer has a plastic, vinyl taste on tongue at the end and is not getting better.. From what I've found could be...

Can you describe the "Cooked Extract Taste". I'm only on batch number 3 and already looking to improved taste.. I'd probably venture into all grain but I live in an apartment and it would be hard to do full boils..

Question... What are your thoughts about adding half the LME at the start and the other half at 15min left?? I've been seeing YouTube videos of people doing this and they say the beer turns out better, not as caramelized.... Anyone try this?? Truth behind this or not much of a change...

Thanks Frazier!! I already have one on the bucket. I also use a digital thermometer that I attached directly to the side as well and I insulate it with a thick piece of towel and tape it to the bucket . I ferment in "Cool Brewing" bag that uses frozen 2 liter bottles to bring temps down...

Anyway of knowing what your actual wort temp is?? I ferment in a plastic fermimter...

I appreciate a the replies!!! :-).

Hey new brewer and I'm using 05 for the first time.. Pitched rehydrated in a Pumpkin Spice Ale. Pitched at 70° but over night it dropped down to about 61.. I'm right at about 24 hours and I'm not getting the vigorous bubbling I'm accustomed to.. Maybe a bubble or two every min.. I'm slowly...

Thinking about adding some pumpkin to an extract kit that only has the spices (Morebeer kit).. Question is this.. Add to Steep or boil?? Cook in oven first to Caramelize? Worried about clearing after fermentation. Thanks!

Ok I checked the SG.. OG was at 1.046, Target was 1.052 and this was an Extract Kit with steeping grains.. Today is 2 weeks in the fermenter and the SG is 1.015.. Both the gravities were adjusted for temp.. So I'm sitting at 4.1%... Kinda low?? An Attenuation of only 66/67%... S04 yeast and...

I haven't check the SG as of yet.. I fermented in a bucket so I will check the SG tonight... I doubt it stalled cause it started within 6-8 hours and was going good... I'm sure your right and its probably degassing... I appreciate the replys!!! :-)
