According to Jamil, 62F is the "perfect temperature" to promote phenols, etc. But you lead me to other comments: "along with proper amount of yeast [he recommends two packs] and oxygenation." I don't do anything to oxygenate, and only used 1 pack...

Looking for some advice on my Hefe.... Used the Jamil Zainasheff recipe for Hefeweizen with Wyeast 3068, all grain BIAB. OG was spot on @ 1.050, cooled wort to 70F and pitched yeast (which was about 75F). Fermented at 62F for 12 days. FG is 1.012 so again spot on. The beer seems quite plain...

Just did and point we’ll taken. I was wondering about the logistics :-). And thanks Ron for he advice. I won’t be in such a rush next time.

Ok I see what you mean. I can figure out an airlock. I’ll try it

Thanks for the replies. My concern with bringing it back to fermenting temp is the chance of contamination during transfer etc, plus the headache. Given the choice between waiting it out and trying to do this I'd take the former. Something I thought of after I posted: When I had kegged the...

I tried my first all grain 4 weeks ago - BIAB IPA. I used the recipe from Brewing Classic Styles and came up with similar results to the DME version - OG of 1.068 and final of 1.018 after 2 weeks fermentation. The DME beer was great - a real hit at a party we had - but the BIAB beer is not good...

Or, I could do that!!

I used a siphon to get it into the bottling bucket. The bottling bucket has a spigot about an inch and a half from the bottom. Yes I have added the priming sugar already. I had to look up cold-crashing.... I don't have a good place to cold-crash. Fridge does not have room and outside temps...

Hi all and Merry Christmas!! I just transferred my wort to the bottling bucket. I must have disturbed the trub because I noticed a fair amount of particles coming through the tubing in the first half minute or so. My plan now is to let the wort rest in the bottling bucket for a while to let...

I was unaware of the heat stick - makes a lot of sense. I will go this route. Thanks!

We seem to have a stove that takes the wort a long time to come to boil - over 20 mins for a 3 gallon wort. This has led to some problems, including the amount of time it takes to come back to boil after addition of LME. There is also a fair amount of evaportaion. New stove is not in the near...

Thanks!

All, this is my first post. New to brewing but I am an expert drinker. A friend sent me a package of 1 oz of mt hood hops grown in his back yard near mt hood. After drying he packaged them and froze them for about a week, then mailed to me. I received them and immediately popped the freezer...
