It is cloudy...will have to check the foamy-ness. Thanks!

I got a bucket full, no lid, in my basement and it has been there for a week or so. Time to mix up a new batch?

Brewed up a Lakefront Brewery Riverwest Stein Beer clone on xmas day.

I know for certain that there is 5 gal. in my carboy, so I guess the issue is with my gravity reading? I gave the carboy a few real good swirls before taking my gravity sample but I suppose I could have drawn off a pocket of watered down wort. My hyrdometer is sitting one click below 1.000 in...

My gravity reading was a bummer on my 5 gal. batch of Kolsch this Saturday...1.034. I was shooting for 1.044. My recipe was like this.... 3# 2 row 2# German Pils mashed in 2 gals. of H2O for an hour @ 155º (mash-in-a-bag method) sparged @ 175º in 2 gals I got a gravity reading of 1.048 in...

did a5 gal. kolsch pm this morning. gravity came out kinda low...looking at my options right now.

I didn't see a "show off your label" thread, so I thought I would post it here. The beer is a Rye P.A. called Jack Ass Pale Ale (J.A.P.A.) named for my crazy ass husky, Jack Ass. This beer is just as assertive as Ol' J.A. so it is a good fit. :D Thoughts?

Fantastic! Thanks!

Looks good! I will have to try that one at some point. I am thinking of swapping the caramel 40 for a pound of flaked barley.....but then I may just keep it as it is.

Thanks for the input. I am not really worried about strictly adhering to the style, so long as the wife likes the beer (this batch is per her request). Would making the changes you suggested just bring the SRMs down?....it looks like the gravity would drop some too, no?

Hi. I am new to AG brewing & this will be 2nd batch & would like some thoughts on my recipe below. I will be using DeathBrewer's stove top mash technique, which proved successful the first time around (Thanks DB!!!!:rockin:). My first try at AG was a 3 gal. batch (small stove, no wort chiller...

I will be pulling a sample this weekend. I didn't uses a campden tablet. I used Montrachet as the recipe calls for.

So, I have a batch that has been in the carboy for 3 months on 12/27/09 but it is still not clear, I used unpasteurized, non-treated juice & everything else according to the recipe. Think it is OK to bottle it?

I have been wanting to experiment in a few extra growlers & jugs but I have not figured out a good way to prime when I bottle. How are you going to do it?
