Just finished my first recipe brew, Irish red, and its in the fermenter. Everything seemed to go perfect! Hit all my temps for the correct times. My wort ended up being 1/4gal extra so I consider that a win. Here's where my issue is, my OG ended up being 1.022! I was expecting it to be...

Thanks for the tip! I plugged it in my app allowing 1oz of roasted barley and its predicting a perfect color. I'm cutting back .1oz of my first hops. That IBU was high for this style, imo. Getting this exicted just making a recipe, puts me in high hopes for the final product!

I know this is a recipe, if it needs to go to that page let me know. This is my first recipe/2nd brew and want to get y'alls input for this recipe. Brewsheet: Sam's Irish Red Style: Irish Red Ale Type: All Grain Batch Size: 2.00 gal Boil Time: 60 min *Mash or Steep Grains...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. The OG according to brewerfriend is going to be around 1.055

Explains it perfectly! I did register for the contest but at ~$30 that's, IMO, a cheap investment for this hobby.

Yea, I only uncovered long enough to change the blow-off for the airlock aND take the picture. It's in a box covered. Does the inkBird controller not tax the compressor? Just seems like that type of controlING would be strenuous.

If you can give me a few hours I'll plug my recipe in the program. Trying to get that monster buck! However, while I'm sitting here I would love to learn about that equation you were trying to give me earlier.

Forgive me, but that went WELL over my head. But since I'm here to lean, I'm here to listen. I can figure out how, via youtube, to rehydrate the yeast but the DID call for a starter (I thought that meant to rehydrate) since it does how would I scale that properly as not to lose 4/5 of the...

I'm asking for my next batch; not a kit. The recipe calls for 125ml starter using 1pkg of yeast. Since I have to scale it 1/5 I was going to do a dry pitch as not to waste the other 4/5.

New question: Is it possible to over pitch the ferment? I have a new brew coming up and I'm trying to figure out how to scale the yeast and still do a dry yeast. I dont have an electric scale and I could eyeball it but don't feel confident about doing that.

So, thinking/planning ahead, I have been reading it is a smart idea to move the carboy to where I intend to bottle the day before to allow sediment to settle from the move. Would it hurt/help to also put it in an ice bath during that time to sudo-cold crash it and clear it up. I'm thinking...

I would LOVE the opportunity to be considered, THANKS!

Yea, the kit that this is from instructs to use a honey water priming syrup and add the (don't know the word for the fermenting liquid, is it still wort?) to the syrup then bottle. Let rest in dark, cool place for 2 weeks then chill and enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up! Just seems like its going WAY to easily (knock on wood).

Not sure why it oriented itself that way. How do I fix that?

So, I just switched out the blow-off for the airlock. 11 day to go! Let me know what y'all think about how it looks. I'm going to try using a mesh bag for the next mash, did it loose but I'm thinking thats a lot of trub.

I've been reading everyone suggesting StarSans but I have been thinking hot water, a couple cap fulls of Clorox, then rinse would do the trick as well. I haven't done it but was thinking about that for my next (second) batch. Does anyone have any pros/cons to this?

How's the flat delta treating you? Im going to take a stab and say Air Force? One of the few reasons, i would think, anyone would move there haha

I know exactly where Greenville is, I'm in Meridian. Went to Southern Miss

Hey Brewers! I am a new user to this forum and to brewing! I received an BrooklynBrewKit with APA for Christmas. Brewed it this past Sunday and it is now fermenting with its blow-off and soon to have its airlock put in for its nap. Super excited for this brew but nervous at the same time...
