Old ass thread but just bought one of these and will set it up with the L bracket and magnets. Thanks! Will let yall know how it turned out. :)

It's nothing that I've ever tasted. It just has a burntish/malty flavor. I don't really know how to explain it.

I TOO have experienced what he is talking about and still do when I brew my extracts with S-04 or S-05 dry yeast.

I can't believe I made it to page three before I saw this....

If this was reddit, I would give you gold! ;)

That is what I am hoping. I have 4 other brews on deck so I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. :D

Kegged 3 gallons of mine two days ago. This was my first BIAB and after fermenting for 16 days it started out really funky, so I may be conditioning it for a while. I also have a dozen bombers that will be first tested in about 3 weeks.

OH don't worry, I will do some more BIAB. I have been stalling out on the cereal killer or a proper grain mill. I put in a group buy order with the local HBC in my town so don't have a choice anymore. :) I have not had a chance to meet any of the peeps yet but will soon enough. I will also do...

Yes, I stirred the entire time I had heat on from bottom upwards. It was a first time BIAB and "all grain" at that so figured I would not lose any sleep if I botched it up. It was only $20 for the grain in total. I thought if I had the basket in there it would make it easier for me to lift the...

So it's sitting in a 3 gallon keg under pressure and bottled. Should I pull it out, relieve pressure and let it sit at room temp for a couple weeks? Or better yet, what is my best Avenue for the keg at this point? It's been under pressure for 16 hours now

It was sitting overnight at 39 degrees. Do I still pull out or do I just dump it

So even though you hit your FG, you leave it in the fermentor until it settles out?

Final OG 1.010 this morning. OMG this beer smells and tastes ****ing weird and not in a good way. I've never experienced any beer that's supposed to taste like it. It is barely palatable. I decided to keg some to my 3 gallon and bottle 12 bombers and see what happens. Followed the directions but...

Great Lakes Pale Ale Recipe Kit Yeast Options: Fermentis Safale US-05 (Dry) bought from AIH. Nothing special or different in the brew. Clean my big mouth bubbler very well and sanitize with Star San. Hit OG 1.054 and FG 1.015 after 2 weeks. It was fermenting for a week around 68 and the second...
