After three weeks in primary, I moved my brew to the carboy. I think I may have goofed adding the last dose of the hops. I had transferred about two gallons when I realized I had forgotten the hops. I stopped the siphon and added the hop pellets then resumed the siphon. The hops just sat on top...

Brewed some dead ringer yesterday. My target OG was 1064 but I ended up at 1070 at 72 degrees. Why am I high and do I care? I followed direction 100 percent...well almost 100 %. When steeping my grains, I waited until water was 170 degrees and then steeped the bag for 20 minutes instead of...

Can anyone tell me if having produced my liter of 001 starter yesterday, is TODAY at halftime too soon to pitch it? Making dead ringer. My starter looks great lots of bubbles and foam. frequent hand strirring. looses foil cap.

you guys are freakin me out. Im brewing my second brew today Dead Ringer IPA. I'm using WL001. I made a starter yesterday. Its chugging right along. I was supposed to use Wyeast 1056 but I messed up making the starter. made an emergency run to LHBS for a replacement and got 001 on advice from...

Having ruined my package of Wyeast1056 by using too little water, I am now going to mix White labs 001 with Briess bavarian wheat DME and One liter of water. Can someone please give me a proper ratio. I don t own a scale need cups or spoons? I plan on brewing dead ringer tomorrow at half time...

can anyone recommend a White Labs yeast to replace the Wyeast 1056 which I have apparently ruined. My LHBS carries White Lab. I'm brewing one way or another this sunday.

what will happen if I pitch this poorly made starter into my wort as originally planned?

so, decant this starter and reuse the yeast left in bottom of beaker combine w 1 liter of wort?

yes, I will do that. But is my starter usable?

First a confession...I followed a youtube video. I didn t come here first. Activated Wyeast 1056 at 11 pm Wednesday . Began starter at 6 am. The bag was well inflated. I combined 2 Cups of water with 2/3 cup of LME and boiled for 15 min. cooled to 72 degrees, added yeast. stirred vigorously It...

I made a starter with Wyeast 1056 last night. its in a beaker, but i dont have a stir plate. when i got home from work today there was a layer of stuff at bottom of beaker. there was very little bubbling goin on. I swirled it for about 3 minutes. how do i know if I have a viable starter? how...

follow the recipe. I added 1 lbs belgian candi to to a german wheat and my samples taste like corn liquor. its all in the bottle and I'm hoping for the best but idk. use more grain/malt to jack it up, not simple sugar. good luck

Thank you for your help. I am however using Liquid Malt Extract not Dry extract. I also have no way to measure in grams. tablespoons and cups is all i've got. Pretty sure for DME the ratio is 1/2 cup to 2 cups water and to allow for the water in liquid extract the ratio becomes 2/3 cup LME to 2...

I'm making a starter for dead ringer IPA. Using Wyeast smack pack. And some of the LME which came in the NB kit. I plan to combine 2/3 cup of LME with 2 cups of water. I pitch the yeast at about 70 degrees? Do i keep this starter at room temp? I'm brewing this batch on Sunday and I already...
