I have a ss brewtech mini bucket @ 3.5 gal... are volume markings accurate? I forgot to check before I sanitized it... i will need to do a top off soon. Please help! Lol

Haha nope not jello!

It was bought at brew supply. Label says grade 1.

Ok this is day 14 and this beer... like I said looked like it was all done at 10 days. After adding gelatin it appears to kick start again. This is what it looks like... is it off gassing? Should I bottle?

Whoa not good

The study comparing adding gelatin at yeast pitch vs cold crash was interesting. Little difference it appears. If oxygen is a concern, it would seems ideal to add it at pitch. Especially with small volume batches? I would suspect small volume batches are more susceptible to oxygen.

Thanks for the link. I have not considered a fan but that makes sense. Will look into that. Yes, I am guilty on opening fridge to look at the carboys. Being new to this, I guess its pretty common :)

My concern is if fermentation was not complete and dropping yeast out of suspension. Next time I will wait full 2 weeks ... My next brewing purchase I think will be a Foundry 6.5. Also, looking at the Flex + from spike. The flex + looks ideal for my needs, cold crash, pressure transfers, etc.

Yes I have read that it is best to use with cold crash, but admittedly am in bit of a rush... having a supply problem :). Gearing up to brew 2.5 gal on a regular. I have read gelatin still works at higher temps, just takes longer. Here is a pic... notice the proteins cling onto side and...

Yep... not sure whether I should be adding this way or not. Maybe other folks can chime in? I hope I am not adversely affecting fermentation. Gelatin is just supposed to drop proteins right... and not adversely affect sugars.

Yes I considered that stirring up of wort might have triggered more fermentation. I gently swirled the beer in carboy briefly and gently after adding gelatin, as I don't have a appropriate sized spoon to fit in the carboy. So improvised really.

Yes, don't want to check gravity @ 1 gallon and lose beer! So, I have making sure to give it plenty of time in fermenter. Im not sure what the rule is for adding finings to the fermenter. Are you supposed to wait when fermenting is all complete? The directions I have on the gelatin packet say...

Hey guys, I have two 1 gal batches (saison, witbier) currently fermenting. Recipes for both called for fomentation @ 65F for 14 days. At day 10 … it seemed both beers were pretty much done. Krausen fallen back into beer, no bubbles in airlocks... little if any bubbles seen in carboy, etc. I...

lol you come up with some crazy stuff man :)

Dang... where are you located? Ill take some lol

I know a lot of attn to the details contributes to quality beer. Looking back when you guys were new, what were the one or two biggest things that raised the quality of your beer do you think?

This is a really good post! Of course, I am in the learning of the basics phase, and if the brew turns out enjoyable to me than that's fantastic! I like creating things, so I think brewing will be a good hobby for me. At this stage of the game, I recognize their are styles outside of my...

Thanks man!

Yep will take a look!

Me being all new to this... at one point will start dealing with my water. Seems pretty important to me as this is the biggest ingredient of your beer! My water is mixed source... and this mix changes depending on availability... so looking at our water analysis, yea don't trust that. For small...
