Thanks everyone for the help.

Looks awesome!

Mine doesn’t have that, it’s open at the bottom.

Could I just replace the airlock with a new one? What’s a blow off tube?

Yes for sure! I will very soon.

Hey, if my fermentation goes up and out of the air lock, do I need to worry about a anything? Is my brew ruined? I really wasn’t expecting this type of crazy fermentation. Haha!

👍

Ok cool, yeah this is the highest OG beer I’ve brewed so far so maybe.

Yes I looked all through that before posting here and didn’t see exactly like mine. I guess I should have thought I didn’t have infection with not seeing that issue of milky crausen but, being new I guess I was worried more than need be. Haha

So I just bottled it last week, wanna give some time in the bottle before trying one. It tasted pretty good though trying the remains of the part that wouldn’t fit in the bottles, only can imagine it will be even better cold and carbonated. So I guess the funky looking crausen was normal...

Yes I agree. I plan on checking all that soon. I started out with minimal stuff and a 1 gallon brew setup to keep things cheap and see if I like the hobby before upgrading. I plan on getting an Anvil brew system and their fermenter also, with a chiller. I also want to get the tilt, which is...

Ok thanks, so would this indicate to you that this yeast Was more active and better than the dry yeast I was using? I did add yeast nutrient this time and had not before. Another thing I added this time was Irish moss and I hadn’t before. I know all are different, but such a drastic...

No, I haven’t I plan on letting it sit for another 2 weeks. But it’s not bubbling. It’s not “done” I’m sure. Just the airlock isn’t doing much. A bubble every few minutes. Usually with safale 05 it will continue making a bubble every few seconds for a few days. Sorry I explained this...

So I used this yeast for the first time. Actually my first time using liquid yeast. Before this I used safale-05. Anyway, I’m used to having the fermentation to last 2-3 days. Well the vigorous part of it at least. It will bubble and make a big krausen, then subside about 2-3 days later...

Glad to hear it is fine, but what could be causing this vs the last 4 batches I’ve made? The last batches didn’t have this. One thing different was I upped the OG, but kept the same ratios of the fermentables. Just added a bit more of each to get a stronger beer (it’s an IPA that first had...

I forgot to put the picture in. Haha! Here it is...

Ok this looks different than I’m used to seeing. The top layer of this Krausen looks creamy. This started this morning, 3 days into fermentation. Normally (from what I have seen) there is a bit of crusty layer on top of a bubbly layer (like you see the first two layers here. Never have seen...

I think it all depends on the wife and what they feel is ok. Hahaha! My wife is a good woman, I used to have an entire room dedicated to me tying flies (I’m into fly fishing). But we had to move and dump the nice house. Some time soon we will get back to it and I’ll be making better beer...

I plan on getting something but I have a family, and I’m in a small apartment for the next couple months. Some time I’ll get this all setup just fine. Haha!

I don’t remember putting dry hops in. So I’ll be ok. mad for the1st batch, I bottled them on 5-9, so it’s been almost a month and still this weird bitter taste. Really annoying. I think it has to do with temp of ferment
