just opened one of my Chocolate Oatmeal Stouts and the beer is not thick at all. When brewing I used 3.5lbs of oats. I did a 3.5gallon brew and qc'd to 5gallons. I can submit more info on what grains/extract was used. My OG was ~1.055 and the FG was ~1.01. What could have been my issue?

Finially after 3 months of sitting my Chocolate Oatmeal Stout is ready for bottling. Unfortunately I have to bottle this beer and do not have a keg yet. Has anyone used Light Brown Sugar to prime their beer? What kind of flavor should this add? I was going to use 5/8 cup unpacked Light Brown...

Oh, I always ferment in primary for two weeks and then transfer to a secondary. I remix and then let sit and condition for another two weeks. Then bottle and let sit for at least 4 weeks. Plenty of time to condition and perfect tastes.

I leave the specific gravity reader in the fermenter to I can open the lid and take readings at will. I will try cooling it a little to see I that helps. This is the first time I am using this yeast so I am in the dark.

So i just brewed my First Chocolate Oatmeal Stout and pitched 1pkg of S-04 yeast. The brew started bubbling up at 12hrs and continued for 36hrs. Is this normal for a Stout The temperature has been stable around 72F and did not see much of a head. The OG was 1.070. I was going to wait about...

I'm so gonna brewing this this weekend. Thanks for the recipe.

I didnt even notice the ".com", good looking out. I will be removing that. I did make them on a website, but you can order them from that site at well. I dont remember the cost off hand. I will probably order a couple just to check out the quality. I will keep you posted. Have you tried...

I have two labels for my Beer and two for my seal

Just finished the first ferment after two weeks. Now going into secondary with some flavoring.

I like Violet Beuregarde P.A. next will be my Chocolate Charle Factory Stout

Thought about that but I thought it needed more

I just made an excellent BlueBerry Pale Ale and I need help naming the sh**. any creative names?

Cool I just wanted to make sure I wasn't flipping out. Thanks for the help.

So, pitched the yeast and it was bubbling like crazy for the first 48hrs and and slowed down around the 72hr mark. and now there are no more bubbles. However there are past signs of ferment. Day 4 of first ferment. Question: Will the yeast continue to bubble and eat through the 1 or 2 week...

Yeah i was doing a little more research on adding fruit and i think it is 1/2lb per gallon of beer. Maybe no fruit beer right now. money is kind of tight, but then again i have two weeks to get more fruit. I dont want a strong blueberry flavor, but something light on the end. I may end up...

good looking out. I was going to sanitize the can and can opener. I think the blueberries should be clean of bacteria since they are canned, but that is still a good idea. It will be done!

I will still be using the 2.5gal Mr. Brew kit to try out new batches. I want to do smaller trial batches in the Mr. Brew kits, that way i may not have too much of a dump batch. I will be utilizing the blueberries in the second ferment. I had talked with some people and they recommend the...

cool. thanks for all the info.

Thanks for the help. I understand that I am getting into much more than I think, but I have helped brew a couple of batches with my friends and now starting my own. I just wanted to bring up the alcohol away from the projected 3%. Question about your fruit beers. What did you add to what...

So I will be starting my VERY first brew. I hope it goes well. I was sent a Mr. Beer Kit, but I have already bought replacement 5 gal carboys. I am also going to be tweaking the recipe to increase the ABV%. Hopefully all goes well. Anyone got any helpful hints?
