I used White Labs California V for a rye IPA 1.065.

I had a blow off already. I did a 1.8L starter. Fermentation temps in low 60s high 50s. Is this normal?

Thanks for response.

Sorry for dups, iOS app bug.

Do you happen to use a stir plate?

I used Columbus and Mt Hood hops I've never used them before. So that could be it. I think my favorite thing about the hobby is watching the fermentation process.

Yes 5 gallon, ok so I should be good. Maybe it's the rye that gives off citrus smell. It's been very vigorous for 4 days. I think it's just now starting to slow down.

Made my very first yeast starter with WL California V for a rye IPA of OG 1.065. My starter was 1.8L with a gravity around 1.04. Do you think I over pitched? Usually fermenting beer smells tropical but this batch smells like citrus and I've had a massive blow off. Let me know what you guys...

I love to cook, make bread and making beer naturally follows. I also like to get craft beer for cheap but with what I've invested in the hobby, my homebrew isn't cheap at all.

I found several recipes but not sure which one is the final version. TIA Gabriel

I want to try that first the ill try the one posted here.

Thanks for all your info. I did find the recrpiea section but wasn't sure if they were any good.

I have converted a fridge into kegerator. Shaft goes through front door. Beer like is about 2-3 feet long. Seems like first 6-8 oz of beer don't taste too good. Not bad but not great. I took the keg to a party with like a two inch picnic line and beer was tasting AWESOME!!! What do you guys...
