SO we are on our 9th beer brew and so far so good. We have not messed anything up and we successfully plowed through our beer like alcoholic trojan horses!!!
I decided to make up my own recipe and got the blessing from our LHBS owner that it "should" be a good IPA which is what I was shooting for. My question is.....the 5 gallons of "Cheap-Ass IPA" as I named it is sitting in my carboy with no signs of the usual fermentation activity????? Also for some reason i had to re-fill my airlock with water twice.......what gives????
Its been about 5 days since the brew. My recipe is the typical IPA recipe just with my own selection of hop additions. Used WLP001 yeast. Extract. Pitched yeast at about 85-90 degrees.....is that where i messed up?????
Again...any input much appreciated. :cross:
