Thanks will do. Will having my primary at a low temperature give me any problems?

I have just pitched an 1.07 OG wort on a yeast cake from my last brew and am having problems with my temperature. I am using WLP500 Trappest Ale Yeast., and I think it recommended temperature is 20 to 24 degrees Celsius. My normal spot from my fermenter is holding a temperature of 24 to 26...

Can anyone give me an extract recipe for this? Looks real good.

Thanks for the help.

I have pitched my starter (White Labs Abbey Ale Yeast, WLP530) into my 1.066OG beer. I am thinking of brewing another batch of the beer and raking off the first into secondary and pitching the new brew strait onto the yeast cake (is that its name?) as it is in the fermenter. Is that a good idea...

thanks for the link.:mug: And thanks for all your help.

It is a beer Nero Wolf drank in his books and was a real one. It’s from just after prohibition, it is no longer made, and I cannot find much info on it. Anybody on the side know about historic beers I could contact? Dave

Thanks for the info. Dave.

Hi can some one help me with these recipes? Can someone give me a clone recipe for Sierra Nevada pale ale, ether extract or partial mash? Also does anyone know a recipe for Nero Wolfs favorite beer Remmers? Thanks for your help; Mongzilla

I am building a new fermenter from 25K foodgrade Jerry can, and I am just about drill the screw cap to fit the airlock and blow off tube. I have a rubber washer that will fit a standard airlock stork, however the hole looks a little small for a blowoff tube and I would like some help setting...

I thought I would post an update to this thread, to help people who are thinking about buying malt extract in bulk. To store my malt extract I purchased six 2.5 L, foodgrade plastic containers. This brought the cost of my malt extract up to around the same value as if I had bought it in 1.5...

Thanks everyone for your help, I knew I was just over reacting. It was just a bit disconcerting when I saw the foam still lingering the next day.

Okay I have done a lot of reading on the website, and everyone says do not fear the sanstar foam. However when I racked my beer to secondary to free up my fermenter, I think I may have gone over the top. I poured about 2 pints of my solution into each of my demijohns which I had washed and...

Just to let you know I took the gravity reading last night, and the reading was 1.010 so my beer is ready to bottle, as per the instructions. I also got to taste the beer for the first time, and what it is carbonated I will have some very nice beer. Just another quick question about bottles...

Thanks all for your help. Thanks for the info this is a starter plan I'm going to use for this beer. That's a great idea all I need now is some more fermenting vessels. Just a couple of quick questions. I have three options for what containers to use for my starter. I have a 1...

A quick update about this beer. From the help from you all, I have brewed a version of the beer above with the following grain bill. 12 lbs Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner. 1 pound Pale Wheat Malt I brew the beer with while labs Trappist ale yeast (I cannot remember which one, but if anyone...

I have one I was just a bit cautious about taking the airlocked of my demijohns. The gravity reading I took when I transferred the beer was,1.017 68°F. Since then there have been fermenting 3 to 4 weeks between 72°F and 64°F. I have had a bit of suck back in the airlocked, no bubbling, the...

Click I am about to bottle 5 gallons of Belgian brothers golden strong ale, and would like a bit of reassures about the correct volume of priming sugar for this beer. I am using old (more than 20 years old and possibly European pilsener bottles) glass pint bottles, and was wondering whether...

Would love to, my parents just came back from the US my dad said home depo was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately we only have B&Q in England and their range is pretty poor and expensive. But thanks for the help.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to have a go at doing a two-stage 1 L starter, for this beer. I'll pop up a post to tell everyone how it goes, as soon as I have a chance
