Taking in the hydro sample of my Vanilla Porter that has been in primary for two weeks. Hydro says......stuck ferm. Damn. 1.038 is a little high. It's a nice sweetness, but not what I was going for. I' thinking I may get another vial of Burton Ale yeast and pitch a starter to see if that'll kick start it. I believe pitching a vial with no starter really shocked my little friends. I also think the yeast was old and the viability was crap. Hope another inoculation cures this quandary.

What was the O.G.? Maybe transferring to a secondary will "wake" them up, but I'd plan on getting some more yeast - that seems way high.

I got it for the shock value and to say I've tried it, really. I've heard everything from I absolutely love it, to I dumped it down the drain.

This is wrong - beer is serious business. Serious. Business. ;)

Edit: Just because I like bacon and I love maple syrup on my waffle doesn't mean I want all that in my beer. If that were the case I'd like garlic & brat ale ... oh wait - maybe that wasn't the best example. Or arrabbiata ... love that sauce but somehow arrabbiata ale doesn't sound good to me.

On topic - finishing up my dubbel and feeling relaxed as I get back to work :(

Ahhhhhh say what? :confused:

I think he means he got it just to say he tried it. Same reason I'm going to buy a bottle of IC Light just to say I've had it. I mean, how can you be from Pittsburgh and not have had IC Light?

Oh, it is way high! It's finished at 1.012 the last two times I brewed it. Though I used a starter the lady two times. I got lazy this time. It only started at 1.069.

I did the same thing. I thought it tasted eerily similar to dip spit. To each their own though.

Bling it on beech! Unlike away!
:D

You have to really like someone's post to go through all the steps it takes from the iPhone app to like a post. If you look, I've only liked six posts, for that reason.

Wait. So you're saying you can like a post from the phone?! I guess from the web browser, but who does that?!
