BrewnWKopper it's London not Windsor. Islandlizard I use filtered water. I've got a really good filter system under the sink with a dispenser next to the tap. It's not a reverse osmosis filter.

Here you go IslandLizard and thanks for the help. I appreciate it The recipe is as follows 4.32 lbs. of pilsner light DME, 12 oz. honey malt, 12 oz. wheat malt,, 1 oz. Willamette hops at 60 min and at 0 min, as for yeast the recipe calls for White labs WLP002 or Wyeast 1968. I can never find...

Thanks guys. I had already set up to bottle when I checked the gravity. I didn't like the taste it was definitely off. Was tired and had to be up early the next day to go fishing so I chucked it. I'll make a starter with liquid yeast later this week and try again. The way it ramped up and then...

A hydrometer

Mashpaddled I think you're right. Started at 1.042 finished at 1.030. This normally finishes at 1.010 and flavor is a little off. Oh well lesson learned. Thank you guys for all of your help

Thank you all for your input. Looks like I'll be making starters. I'm going to bottle tonight. The wort smells fine and I'll let you know what the FG turns out to be.

How are you controlling your temperature? I could only get the wort chiller to get it to 70 before pitching yeast. Within a few hours it was at 72. I'm having a shop built soon, and one of the things I'm having done is a beer cellar type of area under the stairs that should stay cool since it...

Thank you. I've been using liquid yeast and had an issue on my last batch. The liquid yeast I bought had expired already. It took a while to get going and after 7 days I cracked open the fermenter and just about puked from the smell. I had my first bad batch and learned an important lesson...

OK so my friend has been bragging about using dry yeast for his brew and how easy they are to use. So I decided to try some. I used a Lallemand Premium series English style ale yeast. It started chugging away within an hour or 2 with a pretty good cap on it. The next morning it was really going...

Thanks for the input everyone I appreciate it. I'll try to stay calm for at least 2 days.

I've been using White Labs WLP005 and sometimes it's chugging away within 24 hours and sometimes it takes almost 48 hours. The only thing I could think of is the use by date was on August 7 and I brewed on the 16th. I used Imperial A01 House last time and it seems to always get going within 24...

OK guys 2 weeks have passed and I tried a bottle. It turned out fine, so fine I had a second one. Thank you all for your input and encouragement that the beer would turn out fine. I greatly appreciate it.

OK bottled last night. Tasted fine no off flavors. Keeping my fingers crossed and will update in 2 weeks when I try it out after carbonation

Thanks guys I'll skip the secondary and just give it a few more days. I love this forum and the experience you all share. I greatly appreciate it

Thanks Max. I called a friend of mine that brews and he said to taste it after the secondary is done.

I recently brewed up an oatmeal stout. Put in the fermenter and everything was going good. Temperature where I ferment dropped due to cold weather and temp went from 68F to 64F in the fermenter. I turned the heating pad on low, which I rarely have to use, and I forgot about it. The next day...

Kerfuffle

Thanks Keizer that's awesome and I appreciate it. I might take you up on that. During the end of summer I make a trip up that way to see a friend of mine in Hebo. I might have to visit him more often.

Got it guys thank you for your responses. The gage does go to 30 but it doesn't say anywhere what it's rated for. I don't need an explosion of beer in the refrigerator or anywhere else. And yes it wouldn't make it any quicker to drink so I'll bottle with priming sugar and wait. I need to get...

I've been bottling all of my beer, but I was wondering if I could use my pressurized growler to carbonate my first gallon so I can drink my brew sooner. It's a one gallon growler pressurized by the little CO2 cartridges with a tap on the top. Pressurized Growler(64OZ, 128OZ, 175OZ) Will this...
