Brewed my first beer Nov 9th, now Dec 5th. Robust porter, added coconut and almond. Drinking now at 15.6%abv. Very happy with this.

15.6%? Wow! I made a 11% all grain for my 45th brew and brew day was a mess. What was your SG-FG?
 
Original gravity was 1.075. Final was 1.020. Maybe my math is off but three bottles is all I can tolerate.
 
OK **** idk what is going on with this app but it keeps telling me that my post cannot be posted, I try again later, then I end up looking like an ******* lol. I'm gonna try to restart the app I guess.

The app does that, quite the pain in the ass. View attachment 240158
Your calculations appear to be off a bit, that stuff happens, I was guessing you had a bad reading on your SG since it would of needed to be north of 1.160 to hit 15%.
Great looking beer, especially for your first batch. If I hadn't been the one who made my first 4 batches, I would have dumped them, haha
 
Ahh ok I see what I did wrong. I'm gonna use that calculator now- this table I have is difficult for me to understand.
Sidenote- apparently three beers at ~7% is all it takes for me to suck at math.

It happens to all of us, haha. Brewer friend is a great website
 
8 month old yeast in the fridge, check. Starter wort made last night and left in the sink to cool, check. Enough grain to brew kolsh with rye, check. Nothing to do for the next six hours, check. Enough beer to get me through the day, check. I am brewing!
 
Coffee while cleaning. The wife invited 12 people over for dinner and drinks tonight. Not sure I'm up for it but I've got the bar ready.

I can be bad at math on no beers. Congrats on your first brew.


Coffee and water. Not enough sleep and lots of beer last night makes me lazy.
 
Done with the coffee and having some water before going to a beer festival. So today is the day of our community firebird festival. Volunteers have spent the last eight weeks building this bird to become a giant bonfire tonight.

Unfortunately some ********(s) decided to light it this morning at 4am. So pissed about this right now. Good news is the community is responding great and the festival will go in (even in the rain we will have tonight.). Still so mad that people do crap like this. :mad:

Maybe it will rise from the ashes?

Sorry, couldn't help it.

People are the worst sometimes.

Karmic mob justice. Find the floccers and burn their houses down. Bastards. That's a thing of beauty.

This beer pissed me off enough last night to try and let it piss me off again today. I am gonna try to forget about that bucket for a couple more weeks. When I punched the recipe into brewers friend the 1.030 final is possible if I got 90% efficiency brewing in a bag. I find that unlikely. This morning I am telling myself that it taste green still. Damnit. I really just wanted to harvest the 1450 for a ryepa.
