    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    I've brewed it a couple times and you can stick to this recipe. It's great. I just brewed my own experimental esb recipe and I don't think it's going to be as good as this recipe.

    Brewing With Cherries

    Hey, Thanks so much for this post. I have always wanted to experiment brewing with different items. I think cherries would bring such a unique flavor! I will definitely be trying glace cherries. Best, Dennis

    Measuring ABV after bottling

    Yeah, I've used the correction tools. I know the refractometer reading isn't exact after fermentation, but when bottling, the sample I took was from the last bit of the fermenter and was full of hop crud. So I let it settle out and just used the refractometer. The FG is not my concern. As you...

    Measuring ABV after bottling

    Let me preface this by saying, I did measure my gravity OG and FG, but am concerned these measurements were off. About 3 weeks ago I brewed what was supposed to be an Imperial IPA. I did a back to back brew. My intent was to brew both 5 gal batches in my small mashtun which has a rather high...

    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    Mine never stuck around long enough to say how it ages :) That's odd, the one I made with s-04 cleared up pretty quick. How long has it been in bottles?

    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    @shenanigans You brew like me. Back to back. Some lifestyles mean brew days are far and few between enough you have to make good uae of the time you have. As for the sudden upshot in carbonation, I hear you. I went to bottle and keg ab IPA the other day and sure enough fermentation took off...

    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    To me, this recipe is perfect. Imade some minor changes, no dry hopping though. If anything I might go a little bigger on the bittering charge. To each their own though.

    I've used saaz with this recipe as well. Turned out great.

    I have not tried those other yeasts. But the s-04 version is great.

    Baking with Spent grain - Banana Barley Nut Bread

    Thanks for the recipe. This turned out great! I will be making this often. I was going to leave images, but for some reason I can never link images from my google account on homebrewtalk.

    Flavor Profile for Vermont DIPA yeast from Omega Yeast Labs

    I've used US-05 for a couple IIPA's. First thing I noticed reading the OP was the FG 1.002. That's really low considering DIPA's are typically above 1.070 OG. Definitely sounds like a contaminate issue. That would explain an off flavor. That hop schedule looks close to my 5gal batches. I might...

    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    I brewed this up again a couple weeks ago. Made a split batch to try and recreate what I did the first time (by fluke, read previous posts) and the originally intended recipe. Looking forward to both.

    How long to let stout ferment

    I know this is an old post. But I thought I'd just chime in. I brewed a RIS 7 days ago with O.G. 1.088. Airlock activity stopped 3 days in. I checked the gravity yesterday and it's already reached it's projected F.G. Now I've got it on diacetyl rest (about 2 days). As the others have said, use...

    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    Well, it was a while ago I brewed this now and finished my last bottle a couple weeks ago. So I guess if I don't post my results then I never will. This brew is a variation on the common room ESB. Not intentional, but the results were for absolutely amazing. This is the situation: I had...

    Strong Bitter Common Room ESB

    Even if the airlock has stopped, it could still be fermenting. I agree that that is a long period to be fermenting, but like shenanigans said, take a sample measurement, it's the only way to be sure.

    FastFerment Conical Fermenter Problem

    The silicone gasket. Part of the problem with these things is the uneven surface at the mouth, sometimes the seems are protruding or general deformity from imperfection. They recommend taking a sanding block to it. I told them that I shouldn't have to do their job for them. Either way. Seems to...

    FastFerment Conical Fermenter Problem

    So fastferment sent me a new body/lid. At least their customer retention is good. Giving it a second shot with a IIPA that has been in it for 3 days with no issue so far. Seals positive too and bottom.
