    It's Wyeast 1007 German ale- I realize at the original 63 degrees it's a little on the high side, but didn't think I would have blow off

    Blow off help!

    I'm pretty sure it is- a 5 gallon batch in a 6.5 gallon bucket. This is the first time it has happened, although it's the first use of a German ale yeast.

    Blow off help!

    False bottom or Bazooka tube?

    Thanks for all the great input guys! You have changed my mind as far as changing to a false bottom, especially with the cost involved. It was going to be more experimenting than anything else, because I just didn't know.

    False bottom or Bazooka tube?

    False bottom or Bazooka tube?

    I'm currently using a bazooka tube but considering a false bottom for my igloo. Could any of you users of false bottoms or both give me any insight or pros and cons? Is there better efficiency with false bottoms over bazooka tubes ? Or anything that might help.

    First Lager - No airlock activity

    That sounds like a plan, especially since I'm leaving a vacation soon- what if the fermentation finishes sooner and I don't get the diacetyl rest ? What can my expected results be? A buttery tasting beer ? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
