@west1m Been wanting to add a sight glass, how did you do it???

Omega is all I buy and use from my LBS

***Update*** I used a 50/50 mix of the beans and after 12 hr soak it had strong flavor of coconut, so I removed and put in just the Vanilla/Rum beans..... about to recheck to see if what I hoped it to be comes true!!! If all else fails, It's still BEER LOL

Getting ready to keg an Oat Blonde that I'm going to cold hop some coconut/vanilla whole bean coffee for hopefully ending with a White Stout.... o_O:D

Check the tank and make sure it's Oxygen..... If so, it has LEFT HAND thread (Opposite of usual thread) So it will screw on COUNTER CLOCKWISE!!!

That was going to be my guess, and most likely what happened.... Has all the makings of a secondary fermentation due to warmer temps. I've purchased beers from breweries and they cautioned about making sure they stay cold because they have had some issues of it happening.

WELCOME to the Madness!!!! o_O:)

I spray inside of glass with StarSan before placing in freezer and get that lacing all the time!!! ;)

Yeast came with kit.... not sure of brand. But I have spoke with a brewing friend and he mentioned being a dry yeast it may take up to 72 hrs to get active. Since last post I am see some nice bubbling and that was just past the 72 hr mark. Thanks for assistance!!

Thanks.... I did oxygenate, but maybe not enough, I guess we'll see!!

So Sunday I got my first Block Party Amber Ale done!!! It's in the fermenting chamber and the recipe called for a OG of 1.043 and I think that it's pretty dang close..... Also came out pretty clear already. :D My concern is that everything I've read and watched online told me that after about...

NICE!!! ;)

Thanks.... I took out of fridge as I began setting up my area, so by the time of pitching it was over an hour and half should have been at room temp i'm sure

Gonna get my first batch going tomorrow or later today.... I put my yeast packs in fridge right away to preserve them, but do they need to be room temp to use them??? Just wondering if makes a difference so I can plan ahead and take out of fridge....

Ha, I was thinking the same thing.... want to try a stout or porter. I have a 5 gal SS pot that came with kit and using an old gas burner from a turkey fryer!! ;)

Howdy!!! This a great place to learn a lot....

Hmmmm.... With the groove cut into the one hexnut, that would be my guess o_O

Thanks, Can't wait.....

So this came today......:) have a Inkbird ITC-310T-B Digital Temp Controller arriving tomorrow and will be using a spare fridge for a fermenting box. Hope to be starting a Block Party Amber Ale this weekend!!!! ;)

Howdy, I'm Newbie myself..... I've learned A LOT from just browsing all the forum section, so pour a pint, sit back in a comfy chair and start forum surfing!! ;)
