I made a british bitter last night. I did a full boil (around 7gal) and it boiled off to about 5gal. My sg should've been 1.035 but only hit 1.030 It's already fermenting but i'm wondering if i could add anything to the fermenter to help raise the gravity?

I ordered the British IPA extract kit from Austin Homebrew. The OG was 1.058 and that's what I got. This has been a very slow slow slow start. Brewed on Saturday June 29th. It finally got a little airlock bubbling but barely. I know the airlock isn't a good judge, but it seems odd...

Do you ever feel like you are too critical of your beer to the point where you convince yourself it is no good?

When I used 5' of beer line I never had this problem. Now at 10' beer line I get the foamy first pour. Fridge is at 38º. Do I need to turn off c02 and release pressure then turn c02 back on and pour? Is there a remedy for this?

Any suggestions on a good thermometer for extract brewing?

Anybody got one for extract?

Seems strange that I brewed on Sunday and my ESB Krausen fell after only one day. I'm guessing there's still fermentation happening (I know relax and have a home brew) but why would that collapse so quickly? I made a yeast starter the night before. The airlock started bubbling within a few...
