Made a BB smoked porter, all is well in the carboy now, but due to equipment malfunctions I wasn't able to get an OG reading. Not super concerned. Figure ill just see what the fg works out to be. Anyone have one that wound up being way off

I probably already know the answer, but wanted some opinions anyway. Brewed a batch of rye pale ale.OG as supposed to be saw fermentation within five hours. Temps were as required until we left the house for a medical issue. I came home to find my inlays were cold and jacked up the temp...

I bottled regardless and hoped for the best. The one thing I've learned from this thread is that as long as you do things normal it's hard to screw up a beer. The FG was Where it should be and hadn't changed in a while.ill ley you know in a couple if it aged out. Good thing there will be a...

During the normal carbonation period or should I age it longer?

Bottling a kolsch tonight and my wife says it smells like sulfur. Skunked?

H-OST, I bottled a pilsner that had been lagering, was a medium brown color in the carboy, when put in a cylinder was a golden straw. I have no doubts that the Kolsch will be the same.

I OCD sanitize with LD Carlson. I figured it would be lighter out of the carboy, but I guess I was hoping for that light gold clear color. And yes it is certainly clearer now.

Got a some quality dry lager yeast and it went to work within a couple of hours. Keeping my fingers crossed on this one but won't know for a while

Well...this is turning into a Greek tragedy. I wen t and got two smack packs and neither one inflated at all. Turns out they were well expired. So first thing ten am going back for more yeast and hopefully king Midas won't touch this batch.

I used a dry pack. I didn't rehydrate, batch sheet said either way. I don't have the packet anymore, but I'm making a trip to the local shop now

Any concerns that it has sat so long?

I took a reading and there is no change from the starting gravity of 1.044........

Yes I'm using a pail. I checked the lid and it's on tight. I looked inside and there was no krausen or ring. I decided to wake it up and give it a shake. The airlock is slowly bubbling now.......good or bad?

I used a brewers best continental pilsner, pitched on Sunday night. Still no bubbling on Thursday night. Suggestions?
