I made an extract kit - Bavarian Hefe from NB this Sunday. I bought this kit a while ago. The expiration date said 06/16. Which means is 2 months expired. The yeast was refrigerated since I bought the kit. Before getting any of this information. I planned my brew day thinking that wasn't a big...

Yeah! How can I boost my FG knowing that my OG is pretty low?

Gavin, It is temperature control. I have the fermenter inside a chest freezer with a digital thermostat set at 65 F +/- 1. And yes. I live in a warn area (Dominican Republic). But I personally don't think temperature is variable to consider because it been in the chest freezer since day 1...

Ok, it's not infected. But this is just the 3rd day in the fermenter. And it's supposed to be around 6 weeks.

This is my second batch. It is a Irish Red Ale Extract Kit from Northern Brewer. Every thing was as expected. But today (3rd day in the fermenter) the krausen dropped. I didn't expect to drop so quickly. Now it have a thick layer of..... I don't know what is exactly. But I don't think is...

Good summary. Good job!

Thank you, for taking the thread on track and correcting me. And a correction, I'm using a carboy. Ok, so I'm not doing a swamp cooler. But my question is, having my carboy submerged midway with water will keep my wort temp in the carboy/fermenter close to the water temp? This batch have...

My fermometer it's around 70-72°F... sooo.. it means my wort is around 65-67°F??

Well...I'm keeping my fermenter submerged midway in water. In this case, what would be the difference between my wort temp inside the fermenter and the water temp?

Hi, I have been reading some post about how to keep the fermenter in a swamp cooler and how to keep it cold. But my question is, what would be the difference in temperature between the water in my swamp cooler and the temperature inside my fermenter?? Example, if the water in my swamp...

So... I don't want to sound stressed or desperate, but today there's no krausen. Just a little update of what's happening. I will stick to the plan and leave it for another week and a half and then bottle it. The airlock still bubbling which is a good sign, but in a lower rate. I'm just a...

Ok. Thank you for this information!

Oh ok.. I thought that the krausen would take at least a week to drop.

So I just brew my first batch. It's a Brown Nut Ale from Northern Brewer. All went well as spected. BUT... something unusual happened, at least what I know about brewing. The krausen almost dissappeared when I came back home from work on the third day of fermentation. The temp is around 70 +/- 2...
