    Festbier BierMuncher's OktoberFAST Ale (AG)

    I brew this last year for my church's oktoberfest. Everyone really enjoyed it. I got many compliments after people had it. It's always fun to transition from "oh..... this is homebrewed?" to "wow this is (insert "actually" subtext) good" I was initially worried how it would turn out...

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    I am currently at 1.015 just about ready for secondary. I guess my yeast just needed a swirl or something. Very odd.

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    No temperature control other than the house AC. I didn't use any specific cooling on the beer after I put it into the fermenter from my brew kettle. I typically get done brewing and take the beer down to the basement at the end of the day so it will get a bit cooler than what I keep my house...

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    Well I am shocked right now because one of the comments in this forum ended up coming true, perhaps from me carefully swirling the beer to get the yeast back up without sloshing air into it. It's fermenting again and has dropped down to 1.045 with airlock release happening every 15 seconds. I...

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    as for the mash temp, if anything it would have been lower than higher. I just put my other tilt in and it's reading the exact same thing. I think I am going to get more fresh us-05 dry yeast to pitch in it.

    I don't see any calibration data entered. I did calibrate it in water a while back and haven't had an issue with it at all.

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    Most of the wort is fermentable. Southern Tier Pumking clone | Holiday/Winter Special Spiced Beer All Grain Beer Recipe | Brewer's Friend (brewersfriend.com) I am fairly certain my hydrometer is accurate. I cannot pull it out to test it in water at the moment because it's too difficult to...

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    Are people wanting me to take gravity reading with something other than the tilt? I do have another tilt I could drop in there to verify the other one is reading correctly. I watched my airlock today and it releases bubbles about every minute, but the gravity reading has stayed at 1.060 for 7...

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    My airlock is bubbling about the rate of a finished beer. The tilt isn't stuck, i swirled the tank and it moved around freely. I wonder if my yeast wasn't great even after a starter.

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    I just tried to give it a little swirl a few hours a ago and see how that goes. I regularly brew dipa with no issues around the same original gravity which is why this is odd. I oxygenated the worry by shaking and sloshing it. I also pour the beer into the fermenter get it a good oxygenated...

    Fermentation stopped after going well - thinking about pitching more yeast.

    So I tried to brew the pumpking clone receipe on brewer's friend. I always use yeast starters to make sure it's healthy. When I pitch my yeast, I always save a bit at the end to populate immediately for storage for the next brew. When I get to my next brew, I am basically already at my stage...

    Festbier BierMuncher's OktoberFAST Ale (AG)

    So glad I found this thread. Thank you Biermuncher. Just like the great lakes Christmas ales thread, I committed to reading the entire thing to get different thoughts on how to brew this beer. I am planning to do a 10 gallon batch to provide for my church oktoberfest. I will be doing the...

    Ginger Ale (kegged)

    Are you trying to preserve more ginger flavor or nutrients by doing this? I can say using the blender still has quite the ginger punch.

    Anyone plan on ordering over $30 from northern brewer?

    I received a gift card for christmas to northern brewer but I hardly order from them anymore. I tend to go to my LHBS in combination with other smaller brew supplies for what I typically purchase. My next purchase is a grain mill. I had this dinky philmil that was single roller about 2 inches...
