    HELP: Lake Walk Pale Ale

    Im sure this question has been answered but i didnt read the thread before going to the LHBS and bought 2 lbs of Bisquit instead of toasting 2lbs of base malt. Do you think this will ruin the recipe? The guy at my LHBS told me that usually when people say toasted malt they are talking about...

    Fermentation Question...

    Yeast Starter Question

    So i just did my first yeast starter in a 1 gallon jug using 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of DME. After boiling for 10 min i noticed that my wort was significantly lower...I brought the temp down and pitched. Anything to worry about? Anything i can fix or is the 2 cups figuring in evaporation loss?

    Racking to a Secondary

    I have a question...I recently brewed an American Pale Ale that one of my local brew shops recommended. They recommended that i allow it to ferment for 2-4 days and the gravity drops from 1.050 to 1.016 or less. I allowed the wort to ferment for 3 days and the gravity was below 1.016 so i racked...

I brewed my beer and pitch my yeast this past Tuesday...After about 24 hours the beer was fermenting like crazy and had i a lot of what looked like foam on top...Since then the foam has subsided and...
