its cool - I am 24 and love the beach boys

I think there is a thread around here about this somewhere....

The primary purpose of a 60 minute boil is to eliminate DMS. Some people will actually boil 90 minutes or even two hours for further DMS reduction. Also, it gives you plenty of time to have a few while brewing :)

Before reading this thread I thought offal just meant poop. At that point I was really intrigued to see where your post was going...

As far as rants go that was not a very good one.

The beer will be fine sitting in primary for another week(s)/month(s) Order a capper online or go to a brew shop if there is one near you and buy one. No rush

If it is mold then you will want to rack it to another container ASAP. Probably a decent chance you will be able to salvage it.

Got pictures? Could just be krausen gunk.

A blow off hose is just some plastic tubing stuffed down the hole of a carboy. The other end is usually placed in a bucket with shallow water/vodka/starsan. It allows the gunk produced during a vigorous fermentation to be guided somewhere. yeast starter -...

You could probably throw in some dextrose if you are really desperate to up the ABV, but I would say just leave it as is. You will have plenty of chances to brew up higher alcohol brews in the future. And just think - people in Oklahoma have to drink 2.4% beer their whole lives!

bottle it when the hydrometer says to! :)

I have made a cherry stout a couple times. Both times I have added all of my cherries along with my aroma hop addition at about 10 minutes to go in the boil. I have gotten great cherry flavor this way. The only thing I would suggest is steering clear of frozen cherries. I have made the stout...

I feel like this thread would really bother this guy: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f45/has-anyone-seen-yeast-starter-saga-234201/

You are probably right down the road from the LHBS I use (Homebrew HQ).

The last liquid yeast pack I ordered from them was no good. I live in Dallas and I know it ain't any cooler in Austin. Probably tough for them to ship liquid packs at all with temps frequently around 100. I am probably going to be getting yeast from my LHBS until the fall. Still love AHS though!

I doubt it will go bad before SOMETHING eats it. It can either be your yeast, or whatever gets there first.

Gee I wonder why they didn't, especially with such a commercially friendly name!

Yea.... it is at flying saucer and the other bar owned by the same dude. Prices are fairly reasonable on the rest of their beer. Dunno what is up with it.

I have never even tried one. Only two places I know to get it it costs around 30 bucks for a glass. :(

Do an image search for pellicle on beer. If it looks like that it might be trouble. Otherwise it is probably just bubbles/ yeast. It is most likely fine. Got a pic?
