Gravity was 1.02! So it made some progress prior to freezing. Asbsoon as the new starter gets going, I'll be in business....

So, my Helles Lager was fermenting in my temp controlled chest freezer just bubbling away at fifty degrees. On day nine, the controller failed and the freezer never cycled off. When I checked it this morning, t pretty much frozen solid. I think the batch is screwed. I may gently warm it up...

If you still have one left, I would be interested...

I brew as often as my wife and free time allow. I have a four corney keg keezer set up, so I have four on tap at all times, and usually a sour in extended aging while one or two lagers or ales are at various stages of fermentation. I am by no means a "raging alcoholic", but it is amazing how...

I have a "friend" who ot a DUI a few years ago. His record was otherwise clean. He lived in a state that as a first tIme offenders program. He had to complete a class, attend AA, pass a drug test, pay a couple grand fine, and had his his driving privlegdes suspended for a few month. After he...

Let's say you received a bonus of $1,000 that was not expected and your swmbo was ok with you using it all for brewing stuff to upgrade brewing equipment. What would buy?

Awesome!

I did option 1C, no boil, 1/2 oz stale hops thrown into the mash. I racked and bottled after about a month, and it was very sour. I then made another batch dumped it onto the yeast cake. I threw in two cans of Raspberry puree after two weeks. It made a very very light beer almost...

Hey, I misspoke above, they are not cascade hops, instead they are willamette late hops.

I am entering an upcoming BJCP Home Brew competition. This is my first competition so I would like to enter a bunch of stuff that I have on tap right now. What category would be appropriate for a Berliner Weiss, which I blended raspberry puree into the secondary? I am not sure if it goes...

Hoping to brew an AG Jamil's Evil Twin recipe today. Wanted to brew yesterday, but somewhere in between grumpy SWMBO and the daily grind it did not happen...wish me luck for today!

+ 5 gallons Roggenbier yesterday...kicked off 2013 with a triple decoction... That makes 426.5

I took a much needed vacation day today and plan on making a Roggenbier. It is pretty close to Jamil's recipe. I am feeling adventurous so I will attempt my first ever triple decoction. I am also going to try out a pseudo recirculating copper chiller. I acquired a small sump, so I will...

Over the summer I made ten gallons of Berliner Weiss. I don't have much experience with anything sour, so I was pretty excited. My wife commented about how gross the Carboy looked, and after hearing the concept, refused to try it, ever. She has always been a trooper and humored my conversations...

I agree, you should have plenty of yeast. I would check your fermentation temp. I have always pitched within a few hours of smacking unless I have made a yeast starter. Is it possible that your fermentation is getting too cold? That could explain the slow start. I can't really comment on...
