i brewed morehaze ipa. Underpitched and missed the og was supposed to be around 1.09. Mine was 1.076. Pitched one pack of yeast and followed directions for dry hopping (recipe called for days 3-5 and again 5-9). I fermented 16 days and it stalled out at a final gravity of 1.016 (1.008-1.012 was...
So update on original post. Today is day 10 if fermentation with 1 pack gigayeast. I dry hopped pellets directly into wort. Did not pitch any additional yeast. Gravity is 1.016 and smells amazing. Took a sip out of the tube warm and slightly bitter but amazing flavor. I’m stoked. Gonna let her...
I’m on day 8 and just finished my second round of dry hops. Fermentation appears to have slowed significantly but appears to be still taking place. I haven’t checked gravity yet, but I plan to take a gravity reading around day 14. I know that I want to have a consecutive gravity reading that is...
Thank you soul shine. I appreciate all of the feedback.
Thermometer- no excuse I know how to use it and sanitize it. Won’t happen again
Hydrometer- was reading the wrong scale last brew (Brixx I think it’s called). Then this brew finally figured out that the 10 20 30 etc go on the hundredths...
So I just took out bung and airlock to dry hop. I dumped pellets straight in under the assumption they will absorb and sink. I understand that I may lose some volume because of “trub” I think you call it but I am going to use a filter when I transfer to bottling bucket. Instructions say to dry...
This forum is amazing thank you. I have a thermometer I just was too lazy to use it. It started out as a fear of contaminating wort but I have it set up during the boil (had to rest at 146 for 15 min)... I guess I got complacent because my last batch went off so well. Next time I’ll throw my...
Thank you for your reply. Is there any risk of contamination from whatever leak I may have? From most of what I’ve read it seems best just to relax and let it be.
The fermenter is definitely still active. Looks like a yeast tornado in there
Second brew. .. to be completely honest no idea what I’m doing.
Ordered morehaze double ipa extract kit and one pack gigayeast (200 billion cells).
Recipe was confusing and stated to add like a lb of sugar (pre measured bag) with ten minutes left in boil. I originally thought this was only...
