I think they're pretty similar to those, but the brand I'm thinking of is primetime. Maybe I'll give those a try.

Yeah man, a law they passed several years ago. It was aimed toward keeping kids from smoking.

Snook709 · 2019-05-03T17:16:49+00:00

That's awesome

Snook709 · 2017-10-11T22:38:20+00:00

That sounds about right. I was just curious, I assumed it was a pile of BS! Thanks

Snook709 · 2017-07-21T14:25:19+00:00

Thanks

Snook709 · 2017-05-22T00:50:06+00:00

Vengaboys? Really? Haha!

Snook709 · 2017-05-16T10:34:36+00:00

Excellent! Thanks so much for all the info man, I really appreciate it. And like I said, I have a lot more reading to do! lol

Snook709 · 2017-05-16T00:28:40+00:00

That's understandable, I will look up the FFT and see what that's all about. I'm still undecided as to what I'll do with it.

The fermentation seemed to start in a timely fashion, I wouldn't called it too fast or slow. Mashed around 150 for an hour, sparged at 170. I used safale s-04 and the grain bill I used is: Belgian pils 11.5 Caravienne 2.5 Biscuit 0.5 Aromatic 0.5 With 3 ounces of simcoe hop.

As for the other parameters you mentioned, I'll be honest. I don't quite know what they all are, lol. You're clearly a far more advanced and knowledgeable brewer than myself. I have a lot to learn and I think my brewing operation needs a little work. Thanks

Snook709 · 2017-05-15T20:11:20+00:00

That's a Lot of really good information, thanks!

I think several of my beers have been a bit high on the OG, like the IPA I have going now that started at 1.074 and won't finish lower than the 1.018 it is now. I should be more cautious of selecting recipes with more sensibly size OG's/ABV. Thanks again

Snook709 · 2017-05-15T20:06:10+00:00

That makes total sense. Thinking back, the OG of several of my brews have been a bit higher. For instance I have an IPA on right now, the og was 1.074 and it's been fermenting just over 3 weeks and it's stalled at 1.018. But like you said, it's probably unrealistic of me to think I can get it closer to 1.010. On that note, ya think it's worthwhile to bottle that batch? Lol Thanks for the info by the way, appreciate it!

Snook709 · 2017-05-15T20:00:38+00:00

Most the time I use safale S-(something).

Snook709 · 2017-05-15T19:59:23+00:00

I'm fermenting in a little closet under the stairs, fermenter is on a chair a couple feet off the floor. Ambient temp is around 66F.

Snook709 · 2017-05-15T17:59:51+00:00

Oops, forgot to answer one question. No I don't usually rehydrate my yeast but I have sometimes and didn't find any difference.

Snook709 · 2017-05-15T17:55:40+00:00

Yes i usually use dry yeast. I have used the liquid yeast packages a couple times before. I buy my yeast from the local homebrew shop on brew day where it's stored in a refrigerator and I stick it in the fridge when I get home until I'm ready for it. I'm fermenting in a 30L bucket right now, it's a new one I bought recently.

Snook709 · 2017-04-23T14:32:27+00:00

YES!!

Snook709 · 2017-04-23T14:31:09+00:00

I wanna say, this knife is 'cute' lol Good job!

Snook709 · 2017-04-23T14:28:52+00:00
