It makes sense with the crazy bubbles for one day then nothing

Yea, I'm gunna add some sugar to it and see where it goes. I feel like it couldn't hurt to mess around with it and see happens.

The og was 1.69 and I pulled some out to get the current gravity and it was 1.27

Yea I got the og. So basically it's no good?

Looks super heavy

My thought was that it will probably taste like crap but maybe it will have a bit more of a % since it was 3 gallons short. And my friend said it might have a poor after taste since the grains were too hot. Idk hopefully it will turn out alright live and learn I definitely learned a few things.

Well... I'll start off by saying it was too much grain for the pot I have. So I started with the grain( all 37 lbs of it) I wasn't sure of how I should do it. my first thought was to do it out of the bags, but I tried using them anyways. A crapy attempt at a biab I suppose. But after I added...

Ok so I made my first batch with all grain... I was a bit ambitious and doubled it for a 10 gallon batch witch meant 37 pounds of grain. And well let's just say everything that could go wrong went wrong oh well we'll see how it turns out I guess. I wont let it scare me away from all grain tho...

That's funny that you mentioned to use two packs of yeast I thought the same but that's what it called for so I stuck with it. I'm not to sure on wether not that would make for a yeasty taste in the final product. I'll read up on it, and agin thanks for the input the more I know the better...

For sure. I made my first batch in my buddy's 10 gallon kettle and then for Xmas I got a 30 gallon kettle, kind of a jump but I'll get the hang of it. I need to get more brews under my belt anyway. Just means more beer🍻. Trial and error right? Well thanks for the advice.

Awesome guys thanks for the feed back. I have all the stuff to do it and I think next week I'll give it a try.

So I've had a chance to make two batches of a RIP using an extract, but now I think I want to try my hand at the all grain recipe. Just wanted to see if anyone has any helpful advice on the matter.

Hmm I never thought of the wort calling for a dry pitch. I'm making a rip, here's the recipe http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/split-open-and-melt/ Maybe it should be a dry pitch

Hope you try it.

Also if you check out my recipe on stouts you see the pics of fermentation and finished product
