Simmertime Cream Ale

Nice. Here is mine.

. My Poor Mans Porter.

Getting ready for a porter. My own recipe round 2

Are you using the yeast that came with the kit? I've had two separate batches come back to life krausen and all after 2 weeks. I've found it has happened to others as well. May just be the yeast. After one week of no activity it came back to fermentation. Not moved once and temps around 68 to 70.

^ second to the yeast in different states. My class just gave us unfermented wort and we had to add our own yeast. But your beer would not taste so good like you mentioned right? Wouldn't it be way too sweet?

Poor Mans Porter

First brew i ever kegged! Amazing porter.

They mentioned it eats through the plastic leaving small dimples in the surface. They must be using a hell of a concentration ratio.

so I just read in another post that some say PBW not good for plastic equipment. Some have mentioned they have ruined a couple better bottles. I have a fast ferment (plastic) conical that I have been using PBW in for about 3 batches. Normally let it soak with all the parts (hoses, airlock, lid...

I think cleaning after each batch is a must. There is a space between cavity that I noticed always hold buildup of wort/trub. I didn't after my first batch when I did pull it out when I started my third batch there was noticeable mold on the Teflon tape. Luckily my beer came out fine.

Great thanks!

I filled my first keg a week ago. Haven't had a chance to fill my c02 tank since I bought the whole system used. I am using it as a fermentor and keggerator. I wanted to build a pipeline while the keg is being drank. So I purged the keg with the little charger c02 adapter, filled with a porter...

Awesome! Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the plastics?

I thought I would be fine. Just had to find some opinions to push me to do it. Thanks!

I am looking to clear up my ferm chamber for another batch. Is it ok to remove my current brew (new castle clone) out of ferm control and into my house temps (around 71f-73) for the next couple of weeks. I have been fermenting at 66f with wpl001 for 7 days. Have not checked gravity since sealing...

I made a 1 liter starter on Friday night w001 on my stir plate. There has been noticeable krausen on the starter since Saturday morning. Early this Sunday morning I threw it in the fridge. I wanted to decant the wort. There was still a small amount of krausen on top. Did I cold crash too early...

Just took a gravity reading and had my first sample. OG 1.050 gravity check 1.014. Right in line from the recipe. Tasted great too. Didn't notice any peach flavors. Can't wait to keg in the next few days.

I'm guessing this is just yeast/hop rafts?
