I have a question about what exactly changes the OG of a beer. Is it the kind of malt? The amount? The volume of the water it is boiling in? I am a little confused about what controls the gravity of the beer. Someone please let me know - I need to learn!
My First batch is in my primary for 5 days now- about 2 days ago it stopped bubbling up from the airlock. And the 1-2 inches of foam is gone- it never got to the top of my carboy at all-- is there a problem? I'm sure it'll make beer- I'm just interested in some clarification
Whattya think this'll end up being? It's my first batch ever!
Steeped .5 lbs crystal 40L in cold water til it got up to 150
6lbs dried amber malt extract
2oz cascade 5.5aa% 60 min
1oz Amarillo 9.1aa% last 5 min
White Labs California Ale Starter I think wp001
We were going for an amber...
I'm on my first batch ever and I was just wondering- how do I guys take samples out of your primary (in my case a 7.5G carboy w/ a stopper and airlock)? Do you take out the airlock and siphon? I'm a little confused on the procedure.
Thanks
