    My WLP001 tastes like a Belgian. What happened?!?

    I agree with all you guys and wouldn't use WLP001 as my first choice, but like I said I am in South Korea. There are about 6 ale yeasts you can buy here, and about all of them overlap (e.g. WLP001/US-05, WLP007/S-04, etc.) Then, even among these ones available, most are sold out 99% of the...

    My WLP001 tastes like a Belgian. What happened?!?

    The OF/FG listed at the top are actual, not predicted, so it's 1.057 OG and 1.010FG (so far). It's still letting loose some occasional bubbles though and there is the slightest layer of foam on top as well. I hope it doesn't get too much drier though. Also, unfortunately no homebrew stores...

    My WLP001 tastes like a Belgian. What happened?!?

    Hmm, interesting that US05 did that all at assumably low temps. Do you remember what you fermented at with that batch of US05? I am fairly sure this is WLP001 since it was from washed yeast from my last IPA. It is possible that I mislabeled the yeast, but I am 99% certain it was the correct...

    My WLP001 tastes like a Belgian. What happened?!?

    I have a glass thermometer right next to the carboy. You very well maybe be right about the temp not dropping that fast, but within 48 hours no more water was leaking in from the airlock either. Let's say your right though and it fermented too high. The thing is I have fermented too...

    My WLP001 tastes like a Belgian. What happened?!?

    So I just made up my own recipe for an all Centennial IPA and I thought it looked normal enough, so I went ahead with it. It's been fermenting at 60F (air temp) for about 11 days now and the Krausen just dropped. I figured I would go ahead and get a sample to check the gravity. It attenuated...

    StuckFermentation?

    Well, it has only been a week. Did you properly aerate the wort before pitching the yeast? Either way you are at 60% attenuation right now. Perhaps agitate some more and wait another week before taking a gravity reading and cross your fingers.

    StuckFermentation?

    Ok. Was it all grain or extract. What temp are you fermenting at. How far into fermentation is it? If it's all grain, what was your mash temp? What was your OG?

    StuckFermentation?

    Do you mean 1.020? There's a lot of other questions to be asked, but the easiest is do you still see any bubbles coming from the airlock? Just watch it for a minute or two and if you still see some then it's still going. If you want you can slosh it around a bit to mix things up and that...

    Careful with Safale 05

    Can someone elaborate on the boil being too vigorous? I've never hear anything about this being a problem...

    My Starter Looks Like a Snow Globe

    Can we have a picture so we can see exactly?
