Also, I used one packet of US56 yeast, no starter. Thanks again.

so here's the ultimate newb question: Once you have stasis with your hydro, it's time to bottle? Thanks! P.S. I had 3 lbs of DME in there.

The beer wasn't 82 degrees, but my kitchen was!

Here's a shot of the hydro not sticking to the side: IMGP4136 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Here's my OG: IMGP4108 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! The type of beer is an IPA. the OG was taken at 82 degrees, the FG was taken at 66 degrees.

It's been over 2 weeks since I pitched, and, like an idiot, I lost the recipe which had the target FG on it...:mad:

IMGP4134 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I was just wondering if I would get an exploding bottle if I bottled this. Thanks, SIPAS

But also found this: Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood.

Just found this about the active ingredient in OxyClean: Sodium percarbonate has a low acute toxicity via the oral and dermal route (LD50 > 1000 mg/kg bodyweight). The existing animal data on acute toxicity show that sodium percarbonate has a local effect. In animal tests a slight irritating...

Good, that's what I was hoping to hear! Yes, that's the ticket.... this IS a parody thread! GOTCHA! But, really, thanks for calming me down.

Yep, my hydro is calibrated to 60F. How did you figure that out so quickly? Thanks!

Is this bottle now toxic?? I feel strange filling beer into a bottle that previously had Oxy Clean in it. Do you think C Brite will Kill the OxyClean? :confused:

xflickrx's slideshow on Flickr Please let me know if you have any tips or seeing anything I'm doing wrong. Also, where can I find a Hydrometer calculator that will adjust for temperature? That is, what's my real OG if I got a 1.070 at 80 or 82 degrees? Thanks!!:mug:

Yep, that's my other hobby, band paparazzi.

Thanks Soulive. :off: Check out my Soulive concert pics! Soulive - a set on Flickr YEAH!:rockin:

What say you? or is DME the way to go? Thanks! :)

I would like to bottle right out of my primary fermenter that has a spigot on it. Of course, I'll hook up a bottling wand to the spigot to reduce oxidation. But I was wondering if I make a priming sugar solution and pour it into the top of the bucket with a few good stirs, if that is...

Fiddlesticks, the IPA recipe I'm making now calls for dryhopping. Is it a bad idea to throw pellets into the primary bucket to dry hop?:confused:

Whoa, this scares me. I guess that's why a transfer from bucket to carboy is really needed, because the bucket can handle the initial fermentation, and the 5 gal carboy can't. Good to know. So maybe I'll just leave it in the bucket the whole time. Is that a bad idea for any...

I'm getting ready to do my second batch ever, and I'm thinking of just throwing the wort in the carboy first, rather than having it in a bucket for 2 weeks and then the carboy. Should I continue to do a second ferment, or let my laziness prevail? Thanks! :cross:

I was sure to get the temp down to the upper 70s before pitching the yeast. I used that little bit of ice, which was quickly gone, and then poured cold water on the outside of the pot for about an hour (!) as I rotated it.
