I suspect the yeast has stalled because the temperature is too cold. See if you can get a heat pad from homebrew shop or online. Repitching yeast will get it going again but you need to be able to maintain a warmer temperture. Good luck.

Two row / Cascade Simple, refreshing and delicious. Perfect summer beer.

i'm going to do it

using californian redwood leaf tips in homebrew? Got a SMaSH pale ale that i was thinking of adding to.

I'd make a blow off. Plastic tubing from hardware store and 2/3 litre container with water/sanitiser. Take the bung with you so you know the right gauge of tubing to buy.

Fermentation will take some of the bitterness away. Give it some time and you will lose some more of the bitterness. Might turn out OK in the long run. I like dry and bitter especially in hot weather.

Did you make a yeast starter? You need to use more yeast cells for a lager. I would reduce the temperture once I had reached my F.G and then reduce for conditioning.

How long before i can bottle? It's in a plastic fermentor at the moment so am keen to get it out but don't want to buy a glass carboy/ demijohn.

I'm pretty certain that i have a Brettanmyces infection in my Stout. I've looked at some pics online and they look very similar. I think it came from the oak chips i threw into the secondary. The chips had been dried, soaked in water and then toasted in the oven until they were scorched. I would...

I always worried about finings dropping the yeast out.

I've been thinking about finings lately. Are they important? I've never used them myself as I rack to secondary and use bottles. So tha's essentially three filterings, four if you count pouring into the glass. At every stage there is trub left over and it's pretty clear by the time i get to...

Thought the act of fermentation rendered it safe to drink. Isn't that why they always drank beer in the middle ages?

Just made a coffee stout. About 200gms of Columbian beans in the secondary for 10 days. Beautiful taste, great carbonation after two weeks and lovely aroma. Buggered if i could get any sleep after the tasting session lol.

Some have stainless steel rollers others have steel. Is it important to have stainless steel?

Hey waggastew, did you weigh your hops dry or fresh? This is the first time that i have grown hops and i've heard the second year you get a better yeild. Just weighted again, looks like i read the scale wrong, i have 91 gm.

Well i've harvested my Chinook hops and dried them. I usually bookend 100gms of pellet hops 50gm at start of boil, 25gm at 10min before flame out and 25gm at flame out. I have weighed my dried hops and are a bit underwelmed with what i thought to be a bumper crop. It weighed just under a gram...

OK thanks for advice.

Hello everyone, I would love to buy a bag but don't have a grain mill. Is it possible to buy milled? Regards, scrimple101 {Rob}
