Ok thanks for all of the info guys. I'll try getting the temp lower next time. I guess it's time to invest in a fermenting chamber just not sure on the electronics part of the build

Ok I was just caught off guard I guess. My last batch bubbled for seven days and then just stopped. Should I lower my temp next time maybe

Today it the 4th day of fermenting and the airlock has stopped bubbling. There was a good amount of airlock action last night but not today. Is that normal is there anything i can do or is it a goner. The temp reads 75 on the side of the bucket also.

Interesting thanks for the better understanding fellas

What are the results if fermenting on the higher side vs on the cooler sIde better taste ,flavors, etc? I know I ask a lot of questions just trying to get a better understanding

I just brewed my first Belgian saison yesterday evening and my kit says to ferment at 64 to 72 degrees so I dropped it to around 72. I have been doing some reading on here and it's suggested that the fermenting temp should be higher like around 80. When I woke up this morning it was fermenting...

Should I strain them out when adding to primary fermenter

My Belgian saison kit came with a spice pack containing 1/2 Oz of bitter orange peel and 1/28 Oz of paradise seeds. The instructions do not tell me what to do with them could any one please direct me on what to do with it

Ok cool in didn't want to open all of the way So i couldn't mess it up in any way. I don't know what yeast it was I probably should have looked before I threw the pack away rookie mistake I guess. It's been in my primary for a week I'm wanting to add orange zest to it so is it ready to go into...

Is this normal looking?

I'm wanting to try this with my first brew. Do I use the peel and put in my secondary or was I supposed to add to the boil. I have been reading a lot about it and everything says u can do it either way. Will there be a difference if I use it in my secondary and if so how much do I use. Should I...

So is it messed up

Cool thanks man good luck to u

Here's a pic

It was a partial boil.

It said to just add and stir. I didn't look to see what kind or type yeast it was and now I'm wishing I did. I guess that's a bit important

Brewers best Belgian golden ale. First batch

When I took my first reading the hydrometer reading was 60 so does that mean 1.060? My ingredient kit says the OG is 1.071 -1.076. So did I do something wrong and when do I check it again should it read lower or higher than the 60 I got initially. When I checked it the temp was about 70 degrees.

OK interesting. Thanks guys

OK thanks for the replies, but doesn't using a secondary clear up the beer, or is there another way? I'm pondering on adding orange zest to my beer batch but a little unclear on how to go about it. I've read some of the threads on here about it and still a bit unsure. Do I add after or before I...
