sugar might be a good idea. I might go with a pound of rye and 1/2 pound of sugar.

Hi All, I am planning on a brew day tomorrow morning and want to use up some ingredients i have at home and minimize my shopping trip. My ingredients at home are. #25 Maris otter 8 oz Cascade 1 oz Centennial .8 Oz Huell Melon 1 oz Ella 1 oz Challenger .75 oz Pacifica 4 oz UK...

I have never used these hops and really want them to shine. So I am leaning towards m44 but not sure how it will play with wheat

I still might move it upstairs as soon as it slows down a bit to warm it up and help it finish strong

Fermentation looks good so far 36 hours in @64 degrees and it's going strong

It looks good to me. I was gonna brew a ESB next week so I am anxious as to how this turns out. I might use EKG and UK cascade as hops though and 10 # Maris otter

Sounds like a plan . I'm gonna have to go old school my gallon jug just throws my stir bar. But I'll keep shaking it every time I pass it

I added another cup of water to bring it to one liter how do I go about increasing this and do I have enough time . Do I just wait till tomorrow morning and add another liter of wort?

Just looked it up it is 4 months

I started it about an hour ago but will not pitch for about another 30 hours. Not to sound like a total rookie ( I've actually been brewing all grain for almost 4 years) just mostly used dry yeast. Do I have enough time to build it up . If so what are the steps. Thank you I really appreciate all...

6 gallons will be my fermentor volume ( due to loss from almost a pound of hops) so I guess yeast date would be November 15

Batch size is 6 gallons and yeast has a best before date of May 2015. I'm just not sure if this will be enough, I guess if it's not I do have a packet of mangrove jacks west coast yeast I could pitch also

Here is the recipe if it helps

This is my first time using my stir plate and had a couple questions I am going to brew a 1.082 imperial ipa and will be using wlp001 I used 3 cups of water and 3/4 a cup of light dme , it will be sitting on the stir plate till tomorrow night . Will this be enough or do I need a bigger starter...
