Thanks for the reply. Yeah i can leave it until monday morning before I leave. That will be a bit over 30hrs on the stir plate

I plan to brew a batch tomorrow and got caught you doing some things the last few days and wasn't able to make my starter any earlier. I just made my starter 1.2 liter starter giving me about 271B cells to pitch in an ale with estimated OG of 1.059. My question is If I brew the batch tomorrow...

Thanks I just took a look at that. So just to confirm you put my batch at 6.5 because of the gallon I left in the kettle?

Thanks Dean Yeah my mistake It was originally listed as 8lbs and 0.5lbs I forgot to update the percentages.

I did my third brew today. I tried very hard to track everything to get an idea of my efficiency in hopes I can tweak it or maybe adjust my grain ratio to hit my targets. I would like to learn how to figure out my mash efficiency as well as brew house. I assume I will need the FG in order to...

Thanks for all the help. Im going to cold crash it and drink it as is. After i make the blonde ale I'm going to try and make this again with the right amount of yeast. Thanks again

yep didn't catch that at all haha well you live you learn. Ill wait and see if people think i should pick up another pack of yeast. it wont be until probably Wednesday because my brew shop is closed until then. looks like i can get it tuesday if i order on amazon. Thanks for your help

No i pitched one pack of yeast. should i have pitched 2? Can i still add another and wait another 2 weeks?

I have no idea how accurate my thermometers are I have one that clips on the kettle and a digital one i used indoors before i put the hydrometer in the test tube. I did not mix mash up before taking some for testing. I drained it for the kettle slowly into the carboy and then took my sanitaized...

I measured both the OG and FG with a hydrometer that i first tested in distilled water and it read 1.000. I also didn't know that i should have measured preboil gravity so on my next batch I will. I have a refractometer now that i will also test on my next batch and compare it with the reading...

I was really excited to brew my first batch and I was sure i had done everything right. It turns out after more reading. Im afraid I missed a few steps which has affected my gravities. My first mistake was only milling the grain once for brew in a bag. My OG was supposed to be 1.050 and I had...

Hi all. Im new to brewing and hope to learn alot here. I have my first batch fermenting since 12-11.
