The length of time in fermenters has little impact on how long it should take to bottle condition (unless you bottled to soon, which you didn't). I've had beers taste good after less than 1 week. I've had beers need a few weeks to get good. The temperature and style of beer will make a...

Looks pretty dark to me.

Thanks for the advise, I will try that if I decide to try to make this beer again. It never did show full conversion, but since I had little to lose I went ahead and boiled it and pitched the yeast. It is now happily bubbling away like normal. I found it interesting but also frustrating...

It's possible the temp was high at dough in. I think my thermometer has been sticking some. I usually dough in at around 170° which usually leaves me around 154°. This one was around 158° so that might be the problem. I don't have any Amylase enzyme powder and the stores are closed so that's...

For the first time after about 20 of so all grain brews I have one that has failed the iodine test. It's been going for over 2 hours and is still turning black. I am using a 5 gallon water cooler for a mash tun. I have been adding hot water to keep the temperature up, but it is now full...

My only question is how are you sanitizing your bottles? I ask because in your picture the label on the bottle looks like it never got wet.

7928.75 + 5 gallons honey porter = 7933.75

161+5 gallons holiday ale that I didn't get around to brewing before the holiday and 5 gallons rye-p-a= 171

Maybe brewing beer, in the rain, in the spring time, under a maple tree wasn't one of my brightest ideas. Or maybe I just invented the next big brewing style.:ban:

I forgot to had my last 2... 5 gallons Vanilla porter 5 gallons saison. 17762 + 10 = 17772

What I've read is that they will still provide bittering but not as much aroma.

Thinking about brewing, just haven't decided what to brew.

I tried this last weekend. It did not cause me to feel less drunk. I did not have any problem with "explosive gas" the next day. I felt like I have less of a hangover the next day. All completely unscientific.

+ 5 gallons Saison = 13051.75
