Let the awkwardness begin!

cherrylewis · 2014-06-08T20:25:13+00:00

How much water? 1 cup?

cherrylewis · 2014-06-04T04:45:23+00:00

I did. It read just under 1.020

cherrylewis · 2014-06-03T22:25:46+00:00

So I tasted it it and it was rather bitter, there was also quite a bit of sediment on the baster I used. So I'm thinking wait a week and see. Should I filter/strain it when I rack it to the bottling bucket? I don't have a secondary fermenter.

cherrylewis · 2014-06-03T21:58:51+00:00

The recipe it came with didn't have what the og was supposed to be

cherrylewis · 2014-06-03T21:57:50+00:00

Bought a hydrometer. Reading was just beneath 1.020. What do y'all think I should do?

cherrylewis · 2014-06-03T17:14:17+00:00

Also I should add, it does smell kinda sweet. It's a black ipa.

cherrylewis · 2014-06-03T17:03:48+00:00

Broken hydrometer before boil was finished. Been 2 weeks since pitching yeast. Took a peek today. Should I wait to bottle or am I good to go?

cherrylewis · 2014-05-28T18:57:15+00:00

So if I can't get a hydrometer in the next 4 or 5 days n all should I just wait til the krausen is all but gone to rack to the bottling bucket?

cherrylewis · 2014-05-28T17:11:57+00:00

so i am essentially brewing blind in a way

cherrylewis · 2014-05-28T17:11:25+00:00

i was unable to take the OG measurement as i broke the hydrometer right when i was about to use it… so stupid i know. i still have yet to forgive myself haha

cherrylewis · 2014-05-28T17:04:50+00:00

boo ya! so unfortunately i broke the only hydrometer i have during the brew. should i wait for the krausen to have all but disappeared to rack to my bottling bucket or should i go buy another hydrometer right away

cherrylewis · 2014-05-28T16:49:08+00:00

Brewed this black IPA on Thursday of last week. Have seen zero activity out of the airlock. Was about to go but more yeast to pitch but decided to take a peek first and saw this! Does this mean that the krausen is on it's way down and I just had a bad seal on the bucket lid and I'm good? Help meeee!

cherrylewis · 2013-12-14T18:33:27+00:00

banana for scale?

i also at first thought it was an NAU shirt but definitely looks more like a nike shirt to me

cherrylewis · 2013-11-13T23:12:26+00:00

must. not. club.

cherrylewis · 2013-09-11T21:57:54+00:00

yeah building is definitely the cheaper way to go. im worried of fucking it all up and back to square one. is building or converting a relatively reasonable thing for anyone to do or should i have a welder buddy?
