So, I kegged another IPA last week and went to test the beer yesterday. I had the beer in Primary moved it to secondary and dry hopped in secondary. Then later moved it to the keg to carbonate. I have been using hop pellets and every time the hop "mud" somehow seems to evade the numerous...

I am using a wyeast ringwood ale smack pack and smacked and shook at 10am on Saturday the 21st. The pack didn't swell in the allocated time so I crashed my wort and gave the yeast a night to multiply. Got up on Sunday not good still no swelling. I opened the pack and made a small starter...

I am brewing an IPA with 7lbs of muntons light dme. The sg should have been 1.064 but when I took my reading I got 1.032. I know the amount of water is accurate having brewed previously. I took my reading prior to pitching the yeast the only thing I did differently was a late extract addition...

I'm brewing a DIPA and didn't make a starter with the pacman yeast like the recipe called for instead I simply pitched the smack pack. It started bubbling within 24 hours but I wanted to know if anyone has done this before and if so how did it affect the FG.

I have a DIPA in secondary and wanted to know if you drink it or put it back after testing with a hydrometer. I was told it could contaminate the batch so I've have been drinking it.
