I just racked my first batch over to secondary. It's the Midwest Liberty Cream Ale extract kit, with the addition of 1 lb of flaked corn. I used Safale US 05 yeast. It was in primary for 2 weeks at about 67 degrees, and had a strong fermentation for the first few days. There is about an inch of gray creamy yeast left in the primary bucket. The beer tastes OK; like flat, thin beer, maybe a little hefe weizen-ish. If I'm reading it right, the gravity is 1.10.
Does everything look OK? I was expecting it to be much clearer than this by now. |

Sounds like you did everything right. Just give it time and be patient!

Started a fat tire clone last night. First attempt at all-grain. Need to get a better setup if I am going to continue to do that. Bubbling away this morning though.... it'll be beer.

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Got my "keggle" cut weekend before last, so the last two batches have been 7.5 gallons instead of 5 gallons as I now have the capacity. Going to try a full 10 gallon batch sometime soon.
Weekend before last was a Belgian Quad, this past weekend was 'English Red' (not really a style, but the beer is a mix of a porter and a red brewed with an English Ale yeast). BTW, anybody interested in doing a Cigar Asylum beer? We could all brew the same recipe and compare notes. Maybe a clone of something from Cigar City Brewing? Something that would pair well with a cigar? |

'Dark' Saison is bubbling away, just a standard saison grain bill with .5 lbs Special B, and 1 lbs D2 - Dark Belgian Candi Syrup added to darken it up and add some raisin/toffee flavors. Bottled an IPA/PA and Saison as well.
And just keeping track in case anyone else is interested: The following people may be interested in brewing a 'Cigar Asylum' beer: kenstogie ODLS1 St. Lou Stu |
Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Brewed my Dunkelwiezen yesterday, I hope the Fermentation takes. I fear I may have pitched the yeast at to high a temp. Directions said drop the temp to 80 from boiling in 20 mins. Don't know how that's going to happen without a wortchiller. It was below 90 but above 80 so I hope I didn't kill it. Directions on the Yeast (whitelabs hefe WLP300) say 75.
If I did kill it I will just go buy another tube. Roger that on the Asylum beer. |

I'd be in for a Cigar Asylum beer, depending on the style. |

And the recipe will be for AG, PM, and extract brewers, so everyone can brew it. |

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
I've never seen any numbers for liquid cultures, so I don't know. I usually let mine sit for ~3 hours before pitching it into my starter. I cold crash my starters, so that usually sits out for ~5 hrs while I make the beer.
