Thanks for the replies. I pitched the yeast, yesterday after 20h of smacking the pack. Fermentation has not started yet. I will wait 2 more days. If it doesn't start at all I will pitch a pack of dry WB06 yeast that I bought today. don't know if it's good or not, mixing this two yeast, but I...

Thanks for both replys. I will wait a day or two to see if it's alive. I forgot to mention that I bought the yeast on June and kept it the fridge until now.

Hi, I brewed today a Wheat beer, everything went ok, but when I was going to add the yeast I forgot that this was a liquid yeast (I'm used to dry yeast) and the MFG is 14 May 2015. So it has 5 months and a half. I have smacked it and I'm waiting it to swell (2h now). The wort is in the...

Can someone help me on this? ^

OK. Thanks :)

Thanks guys for the replies. Regarding the 90 min boil, should I change the time of the hop addition?

My mash tun size is 52QT (48 Litres). Will it be enough? Or should I throw in 50gr more?

Hello, I want to make my first All Grain batch and also make my own recipe. Does this wheat recipe look ok? For 20 Litres: 2,90 kg Wheat Malt, Ger 1,60 kg Pilsner (2 Row) Bel 100gr Rice Hulls 1,0 pkg Wyeast Labs #3068 125ml 20gr Hallertauer Hersbrucker [4,00 %] - 60 min 15gr Hallertauer...

Update! Got the 52QT Xtreme! :) I have a question, can I use fibre washers to seal the tap connection? Would it affect the beer? Also, I have to clean some brass fittings. On How to Brew says to use white vinegar. Can I use white wine vinegar instead? Thanks,

I did the math about the real quantity of mash inside the tun and it will be approximately 20 L (13 L of water and about 7L of grains). So that means a dead space of 30 L, and this is my biggest concern. I dont want to buy something big and affect my efficiency. How much heat loss should I...

Reviving this post.... I saw on amazon a good deal. It's a 52 qt coleman xtreme, for the price of the 36 qt. As I posted previously I only intend to brew 20L batches. If I go with the 52 qt, will I lose efficiency? or will I be OK?

I thought starters were only needed for liquid yeast... and I'm using dry yeast.

Didn't knew about needing the nutrient. Thanks for the info :)

I was thinking about that but wasn't sure... 4g on the cider and the rest on the kit. Thanks for your help :)

Hi, I have a packet of dry yeast SafAle S-04 11.5g and I would like to use it for 2 batches. One is a brewferm kriek kit that makes 12 litres and at the same time I would like to make 5 litres of cider. My concern is, how much grams should I use in each of the batches??? Regards, Oz

This sounds like carbonation is not complete. If its an Ale yeast you should leave your bottles for 15 days at 20ºC for the yeast be active and eat the sugar for carbonation. After 15 days you can drop the temperature to 10ºC gradually.

That is a 68% attenuation, which I think is the yeast attenuation percentage of Brewferm kits. Its done. If you did 1 week of clarifying, wait 2 more weeks and then bottle it.

Hi, Was 1.031 your Original Gravity? What was the fermentation temperature, and was it steady? I also do Brewferm kits. Already did Gold (very good), Pils and currently doing the IPA. You should always wait for fermentation to be complete before changing to another bucket to clarify.

It is in secondary for 2 weeks now. Thought it would be good for the beer to stay in a bucket clarifying for about 4 weeks. I checked gravity today and its the same, but the beer is very clear now. I will bottle it as soon as I can. Thank you. :)

I dont know what yeast is. I think brewferm kits come with their own Brewferm Top Yeast. After some search I cant find their attenuation values... I will wait another 2 weeks for the beer to clarify and then bottle :) Thanks for the help.
