It looked very flat to me. In the fermenter, there were clumps of yeast (i guess?) floating at the top of the wort. Is that normal? My hydrometer is based on 20C, and I cooled the sample to this before taking the reading.

7 days has passed, and I just added some dry hops to the fermenter. I also took a gravity reading - 1014. According to the recipe, the F.G. should be 1011, and has 7 days left in the fermenter before bottling. All good? The smell is wonderful, and it also tastes like an IPA.

Thank you so much for all these comments - it's much appreciated! Opening the door in the basement like it's pandorax box, I'm seeing plenty of yeast activity. Looks like I'm on the right track. Thank you! Sounds delicious; I'll definitely try that at some point. Great tips here. I'm going...

I pitched it, and there's activity. Time will tell if it's enough :-) Thanks for your thoughts.

Thank you for your reply. It was an all-grain brew. I bought a kit containing all the ingredients and a recipe, here's the ingredient list: Marris Otter malt Amber malt Cara gold malt Light dried malt extract Warrior hops Simcoe hops Amarillo hops Irish moss WLP001 Mashing was done as a two...

Good to hear! I'm beginnig to see some yeast activity as well. So far so good. Hard lemonade...do you have some details about that? Maybe a recipe?

So, I did just completed my first brew, and it’s now in the basement fermenting. It’s an IPA, and the O.G. reading was 1054, while the recipe has an O.G. reading of 1059. Is this a huge difference, or is it within the acceptable margin of “error”? Is 1054 an acceptable O.G. or should I aim for...

Thank you very much. The yeast is manufactured 04-13-2019, so that gives a viability of 39%. Is that okay? I'm brewing 2,5 gallons (10 liters).

Hi, I'm planning my first brew, but unfortunately I stored White Labs WLP001 at 73F for a day and a half before putting it in the fridge. So the question now is if I can still use the yeast, or if it's dead. How fragile is it? Thank you!
