For those of you in the North Dallas burbs/Collin County TX area, there is a new LHBS in Sherman called Kettle to Keg. Owners, Robert and Laura, are nice folks. I try to support them as much as possible.

Finally figured out my problem. My new Clawhammer system was underreporting temp by about 10 degrees. Put three different thermometers in latest batch and verified temp error. I have brewed two batches of beer since and I am getting lots of activity. P/O'd that I ruined 4 batches of beer before...

The slurry temporarily helped start some action but not for long. Sweet, hot mess. I dumped and rebrewed, this time rehydrating the Notty as suggested in the recipe (my LHBS said not to do it) and it is now happily bubbling away after 24 hours. Having real doubts about the accuracy of the Tilt 2...

Got in a Vienna Malt lager kit from Midwest. It will be my first lager.

Well neither the stir nor the temp bump caused any reaction over the last 12 hours. Made a slurry of pasteurized dextrose and I'm going to drop that in next as a last resort.

Good advice. I fermented at 67. Do you think it would be wise to move to a secondary at the increased temp or just leave well enough alone until I get some bubble action?

My first Coffee Stout! Came out wonderful. Used the Northern Brewer Blue Collar kit.

Thanks for the welcomes. BTW my name is Dan .I'm really excited to get the system. I went with the 110 for ease of connection and cost. I know I will probably cuss at the heat up times but I am pretty patient. 10 gallon size provides me with more beer than I can handle!

Brand new to the forum. I brewed my first beer in 1982. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. Started up again last year with extract and after 2-3 brews, decided to jump into all grain. I just retired my Home Depot HLT and Mashtun coolers to the attic. Getting ready to move into a Clawhammer...
