I did it a little different with a weizen I just didi. I took and orange and harvested all of the orange zest I could get off of it, and put into the water you put in your primary before I added the wort and mixed it up. The water starts to turn orange really quickly, then I let it ferment all...

I'm using a glass carboy and the air lock is bubbling. I was just expecting a bigger reaction like I had with my previous two batches.

I'm not doubting your advice, but I though that was the whole point of a slap pack. It's supposed to have the starter in there. worst case scenario, I suppose I ca go buy another pack of yeast and try again.

I pitched on tuesday evening and I checked it last night, but I won't be able to check it again until aroung 9:00 pm tonight.:confused:

Here's the story. I am a relativly new brewer. My first two batches were pretty much, just throw stuff in and see what happens. On my third batch, I was actually trying to accomplisg something si I bought the books and a calculated the mash bill and the IBUs and everything. According to my...

1.056 was the og, which according to the books was pretty much dead on right.

so you are saying that I have a problem. well I started this batch on tuesday and I checked last night but not this morning. hopefully it just hadn't really gotten going yet.

Designing great beers is good and so is the brewmaster's bible. Haven't read the joy of home brewing yet, bu I have ordered it from amazon.

wHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO INSURE AN EVEN CARBONATION LEVEL. I AM DONING 5 GALLON BATCHES AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT COMES OUT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PRIMING SUGER TO USE?

Iwas told to boil it for an hour and a half, I did not steep any grains and I put 2 gallons of spring water in before I put in the 2 gallons of wort and poured another gallon of water on top, then I aerated the wort for about 10 mins and pitched the yeast.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHY NOT JUST BOTTLE ONE BOTTLE AND LET THE REST SIT FOR A WHILE AND SEE WHAT HAPPNS? MAKE SURE YOU PUT THAT BOTTLE SOMWHERE IT WON'T DO ANY DAMAGE THOUGH. i'M JUST GUESSING, BUT IT WOULD SEEM THAT IF THAT BOTTLE DOESN'T GO OFF IN FOUR OR FIVE DAYS IT PROBABLY WON'T, RIGHT?

Well, it's official. I'm an idiot. I figured out why my gravity reading was so off. I was doing a partial boil, so when I took my reading, I took it from the two gallons that were in the wort pot. I failed to tak a reading after I added it to the other three gallons of water in the carboy. Duh!

I suppose you can, it just seems that if you use a bag or something, it migh be kind of hard to get it back out of the carboy.
