bump... joety, how did this beer turn out? I started at that exact specific gravity of 1105 and ended at 1032. Did you ever get it to attenuate further? Thanks

Yes, same were the lot that this thread has been going on and on about. Not sure if it was the first pitch that finally kicked in or the 2nd pitch that kicked in 24 hours after pitching it. Hard to say, but the first yeast packet rehydration just didn't look right.

Got 2 packages at the homebrew store (luckily) on Monday night. Broke one open, rehydrated it and it really had no activity during rehydration. No slurry, no foam, still all pellets. This was after about 30-45 mins sitting in warm water. Pitched it Monday night and by Tuesday night nothing...

Does setting the P=0 and t=1 create more stress for the SSRs or PID? I know it's an on/off type of relay, but it seems turning off and on every second could cause them to wear down quicker... thoughts??

I made this recipe but I guess I got a little impatient and left it in the primary around 63 degrees for about 2 weeks then brought it up to about 70 degrees for a few days then racked it into a keg and put it back in the basement for a few more days and now it's in my kegerator in some CO2. I...

Hey guys, I have a brand new, never used, EdgeStar Kegerator with black door for sale. It's up to you to buy a tower. It will hold 1 regular keg or 2 homebrew kegs. All you have to do is drill the 4 holes for the tower bolts and it is ready to go! Has wheels too! I guess I didn't...

How did this turn out?

Just got an Al brewpot, I understand the first 1 hour boil or oven prep to get the oxide layer... but what about after that? Should you just clean it with some water and a little detergent? Or not clean it with any type of cleaning solution? I see a lot of people on here talk about "taking...

Hey guys, just brewed a hefeweizen, spent 14 days in the primary and then kegged it, tastes great!! This was a recipe kit, and probably one of the easiest I have ever done 6.6 lbs of wheat LME and Willamette hops, that was about it. Yeast was #300 Wondering how I can add a little complexity...

Hey guys, Made a few batches on my glass stove top, have not been very satisfied with the end product. I feel that it might be the boil that is hindering a good beer. The clarity of the beer isn't good at all, very very hazy (and I feel that I get a good cold break by making an ice bath --...

Hey guys, Just wondering what would be the best (cheapest) place to buy brewing supplies (extract, hops, yeast, etc...) on the web. Any suggestions would be great, thanks! Chad

Doc, Sure, I have seen lots of examples on how to do this but would like to hear yours as well!

Hey guys, Just got my kegging system in the mail today. I have a pale ale, day #20 in the primary. Still not clear yet, but I would like to keg it tomorrow so I can have it at a party on Friday. Should I leave it outside tonight to cold crash it and then keg tomorrow? Or not cold crash...

Today marks the 1 week mark of pitching my yeast into my Porter wort in a 6 gallon glass carboy. Fermentation lasted about 36 hours, then the bubbles ceased. I am going to Australia for 2 weeks (leaving a week from tomorrow, so 2 weeks after the process began) so I will be getting back in the...
