Hi everyone, My wife and I recently bought a hot sauce making kit from more beer. This is our first time ever doing it and I noticed that there's a murky-dusky like stuff on the bottom. I'm posting some pictures. If someone whose familiar could take a look and let me know if this is...

Totally makes sense, it still hasn't dropped in gravity at all, but there's a thick Krausen on top so i know the little yeasties must be happy now! Thanks so much to everyone for the info. Next time I'll do a 2L starter for sure and just pitch the whole thing. I'll also see if i can ferment it...

Thanks for the info, I'm more than happy to give it another day or two. I did aerate the beer. Would it be a good idea to purchase and add another packet of yeast? I can add that and then shake the fermenter to try to aerate a bit more and mix everything. Thanks for the help! I did do a warm...

Hi All, Hoping this is more of a simple question; but I generally brew with ale yeast not lager yeast. This year for my Oktoberfest instead of using a kolsch yeast I used a German lager yeast. I chose WLP830, made a 1.5L Starter and let it go. It fermented quite well in the starter and i put...

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it.out. I'm coming from the beer brewing world and have always liked the flavor of Kombucha. I can see the appeal doing a keg size portion.

So should I do a secondary fermentation? Rack everything out of the original except a cup of liquid and the scoby? Should I start over and make a new scoby?

Thanks I appreciate it! Just so i know, this is the first time I've fermented with fruit, should I worry about the brown on the scoby? Thanks,

Hi Everyone, I recently made my own mother in a 2L jar and decided that i wanted to brew more so i upgraded to a 1 gallon jar. When i did this and dropped the mother i had into it, it floated for the first day then just disappeared. Now i currently have what looks like a new mother forming in...

I'm in! Love inkbird products

This is interesting. I've done starters before but have never seen a yeast take off like this so quickly before. I'm only 10 hrs in and there appears to be a ton of yeast at the bottom, so much so that it's forming yeast rafts already. This is wlp067 which contains diastaticus. I was wondering...

I've had small little blotches of a black mold in mine. I think it's because I use my fermentation chamber as a kegerator as well. Cleaned out like a charm though, used an all purpose cleaner then left the door open for a week.

Man

Only ever had 1 batch that turned out not so good out of 20ish batches. This one just fermented a little to warm, thankfully it was a blonde so I waited 6 months to drink. Ended up being just, 'fine'

For your first beer recipe, something fairly basic that you'd like, and then tweak it from there for your 3rd, 4th, 5th recipe etc.... I'm unsure of what flavor you may get from this recipe; to be honest, If I were to try to make this at this stage, I'd only do a 1 gallon test batch, as you...

Final Recipe: 12lbs 2-row 1lb munich 1oz simcoe (60min boil) 1oz of centennial (20 min) 1 oz cascade (5min) 1 oz lemon drop (flameout) 1 oz citra (flameout) 1 oz Lemondrop (Dry hopped at 7 days, left in until racking) 1 oz Lemondrop (Dry hopped at 10 days, left in until racking) Fermented with...

This one turned out pretty light with a sweeter hop flavor. I was definitely not expecting the lemon drop to taste like a melon, but that's what I'm getting from it. Next time I may add some oats or something of that make to add some Moreno body to the beer. But it definitely is a good one --...

That's the good calculator. How much sugar was in the guava paste? It could just be mostly non-fermentable material. I had a pumpkin beer finish at 1.24 because I added alot of pumpkin paste to the boil

The issue is you're using a refractometer to get final gravity; you have to use a hydrometer because alcohol doesn't deflect light in the same way the water in the wort does. I'm also presuming you let it ferment for 2 weeks.
