Wanting to make a big beer I made a quart size starter. Piched the yeast and within 4 or 5 hours I had a vigorous fermentation. Well I had to make a run to...
Simplest explanation would be that it got cold somehow, but you probably would have realized if that was the culprit.. Since you had such a large starter maybe...
I'm new to this group so I wanted to say a quick hello. I'll probably lurk a few days to see how this group operates. I've been homebrewing for 10 years, all...
I am having the same problem. I made a monster stout with a 1.152 OG, pitched about a half-gallon of high-gravity super yeast starter, aerated well, and it...
Mike, Ferment it cool and use foam control or a BBBOT. What was the recipe, including Mash schedule? Fred michael <guinness_lizzard@...> wrote: I am...
Welcome eldockoderocko, Great to have another experienced brewmeister around. See ya around the kettle my friend! Beau ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Remember that yeast is alive. Give them time. It's not going to be the same speed of fermentation in every batch, even if the temp and gravity are the same....
I beleave my problem was like Madferment suggested and that I had underairated wort. Let me hope anyway because thats what I put in my brew notes:-) In ... ...
I was just getting ready to brew up a Scotch ale and noticed a few scratches in a brew bucket I have'nt used for awhile. I understand that it can be hard to...
It very well could be. There is a simple technique to areate your wort better. I use a 6 gal glass carboy for primary and then rack to a 5 gal glass carboy if...
Welcome. I mostly lurk as well, but it is always nice to say hi to a new old brewer - or an old new brewer for that matter. Relax, have a homebrew. ... -- Ld....
Get some Bon Ami, a soft scrubbing agent made of Calcium carbonate, I think, instead of silica (as in Comet)and polish the scratched area and clean and ...
Thanks for the welcome. I'm pretty active on realbeer.com, less on BA but I'll keep checking this site out. As long as I've been brewing I still need advice...
Excellent! What a great idea! A way to renew and maintain plastic, that's just right for my cheap ass! Is Bon Ami something I might find at a grocery store...
I brewed a Doppel boch a while back and it is currently in teh secondary. I all ready did a D-rest and it is now in the garage (low 40s). It has been in the...
Hello, new to brewing, have brewed 4 Coopers kits. The last a Pale Ale using pure spring water. it tastes pretty good but seems to induce strange vivid dreams...
Being that it's a Pale Ale, the high hopping rate could be the cause. Hops have mild sedative properties so you never know.. interesting... Sweet Dreams! Beau ...
Not sure. What hops are you using? How much? What is you hop schedule? Can you give specific details of all ingredients and methods? I might have to try that....
I am a new brewer as a matter of fact I just ordered my kit. However I live in Hot Springs AR and have an abindant source of fresh hot spring water available...
Which board do you want me to answer on? The answer to your question is a definite maybe. It depends on the mineral content. It also depends on beer style. ...
One of the reasons I went to full and partial mashes was the observation the malted extracts were WIMPY, bereft of any detectable malt presence. I wanted to...
It was just a pale ale kit which i added 500gm dextrose and 500gm DME and used pure spring water from a mountain called Mt Donna Buang. I didn't add any extra...
I'm by no means an expert but it sounds like it may have gotten infected. Try the same recipe again and see how it turns out. If it doen't happen with the next...
Hi All, I wanted to brew a batch of Porter, using a recipe from the book 'Fearless Brewing'. It calls for 2 boxes of Northwestern Amber. My local brewshop ...
