Will do!

Thanks for all the information! Now I know it's coldbreak. I always try to get as clean beer as possible from the pot but sometimes the whirlpool fails and i get some of the hop in the beer. Haven't been any problem so far but always nice to know all the different stuff that is happening in the...

The "slime" looks like liquid glue or jelly. I can get easily suck it up with a auto-siphon so its not that hard at all. I have gotten this when using DME and now when i made a all-grain BIAB.

Should i add the cold break to the fermenter or leave it behind?

Hi, After i have boiled the wort i get slime in the bottom. Is it good or bad? I figure it is caramelised sugar or something. My pot is really old and made out of aluminium so its not top of the line. But i have made some nice beers with it. This is my 8th batch or something. Anyone know...

Two weeks later and its time to bottle it! ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

One week after yeast pitch. ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

It's not even close the top. Last brew I needed a blow off tube and had about 200ml of yeast in the blow off bottle. It was a repitch of us-05. This is a fresh pitch. Now after 3 days it looks like this. ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

Its an IPA loads of hops in it. :) ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

Just looking at my brew from yesterday. It doesn't look at all like my other US-05 beers I have made. The Krausen on top is more like porridge then the nice and foamy. Maby this is only a stage I haven't seen or is it contaminated? ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

Yes it looked really nice! One day later it is not so sexy anymore. Had to add a blow off tube. Next time I reuse yeast I will not add as much as 3dl for 10liter. Maby 1-2 will be enough. ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

About 24 hours after pitch i took the fermenter to room temperature 23c. 6 hours later it started bubbling more frequent from the airlock so I put it back into the locker where I keep around 18-19c. Now 40 hours after pitching the reused yeast it looks really nice. ---- Brewing since march...

Forgot to say that I have a 2.6gallon(10liter) fermenter. I did not even think of measuring anything. Just threw in something that looked like yeast from the old fermentation vessel. ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

I never thought about checking how much yeast it was. Maby 3dl?. I light have gotten some of the old beer and slurry also. The OG is 1063. ---- Brewing since march 2014 Rocksta-Stockholm

It is actually my first try to reuse a us-05 yeast. This is my third extract batch so I'm new to brewing. Reusing yeast seems like a good thing when bottling and brewing on the same day. Just out of curiosity I'm trying different stuff to see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I pitched a yeast today that looks a bit weird. Seems to be lots of it at the bottom. More then before. The picture is after 6 hours. I can't remember that it has looked like this the other times. Maybe I haven't seen this part at the beginning before. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I put my gallon brew in a coolingbag and the temperaturen is now 16 but i will try to build some kind of cooling box with a termostat, frozen bottles and a fan that I can have in the apartment. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hi! I just started out brewing and have my first extract batch here in my living room. The temperature is between 21-24c. I was thinking about doing the next batch in the basement where it is 14c. Is it too cold for us-05 or t-58? I've read that the fermenter will be a bit warmer then the...

Love the forum! I'm from Stockholm and don't know anyone who is brewing beer so Internet is the way to go. Started with a coopers IPA kit that finished out ok. Now I have a 10L Amarillo single hop and a 5l patersbier in the fermenters. They turned out to be a little bit high on the OG but I...

It should be fermenting since the air-lock is bubbling plus the foam has started to build up on top of the brew. I will just leave it as is and see how it turns out!
