I didn't use beersmith but my OG was higher than op's. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I didn't expect the CO2 to be so strong! Having only fermented in the open air! Okay, so clean it out…. Will the beer be alright whilst I clean the airlock? And your right a blow off is exactly what I will do in the future. I bought a two piece air lock just for this. Does it have to be star...

So the beer flowed up thru the air lock, now what? Should I just leave it be? Clean it out? As a second question, I've never brewed w temp control. Is it normal for the freezer to reek of alcohol! I put my head down by the bucket to check my thermo strip, and it takes my breath away! Sent...

Awesome! Got my starter going now! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Brewed on 9/1 bottles on 9/21. Sampled yesterday, overshot my carbonation a bit do to using cane sugar. I couldn't find Sorachi hops, went with Fuggles I think (need to do more documentation apparently)! I added a whole ounce at FWH, and mine has a noticeable bight in the beginning. Even with...

So my OG was 1.060, I had to use white labs saison 2 due to availability in my LHBS. It's been 13 days, and it's down to 1.010. It tastes great! Probably my best brew yet, only my second all grain beer, and probably my 8 th brew altogether. Should I give it another week? Or bottle it this week...

No starter, did a smack pack. I pitched it sat night. I was shooting for 153, but wound up at 154 for most of the mash. Not sure how much effect it has. My biggest challenge is space for a fermentation chamber, I'm currently keeping a little below 72 but it swings down to 65 sometimes due to...

I'm trying out this Kolsch recipe, and my OG was 1.050, after airlock settled I took a reading of SG 1.012...does that seem like its done? My first all grain, too many factors running through my brain! Heres the link to the recipe, the test beer tasted good...

Oh nice! Great pic too! And that stuff is cheap! I'll check my LHBS first just to support the biz. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Seems a shame to toss it! But I suppose it would be an even bigger shame to have 5 gallons of beer go raunchy! What is fermcap? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So with the help of everyone here at hb talk. I managed to get my DIY stir plate to work and got my first batch of yeast goin! The bag contained the overflow of yeast and the wife's emotions about a mess in her spare bedroom! My question is can I keep the yeast that spilled into the overflow...

Great! How much wort/water do I use? I am using a 2L flask. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I just got my BYO stir plate running correctly and am ready to make my first yeast starter. The og is 1.087, the yeast is expired liquid vial of white labs Scottish ale. Will a 2l starter be enough? Do I have to add yeast nutrient to it? About how long will it take to make a starter of this...
