First Time Brewing…am I doing it right? Most probably there is some live yeast that can populate and ferment your batch. However, while this happens, the yeast produces many off-flavours. I think you should pitch another pack of yeast in the fermenter, after all, even if your beer is slightly overpitched then (which I doubt), it is certainly better than underpitched, you'll most probably end up with a pretty good batch. |

What's the ideal size for a mash tun? Now I can see it too, when I posted this question for some reason the chart wouldn't appear, not even when I used the direct link. Thanks for the answer anyway! I have one additional question though: if I use a 10 gallon mash tun for 5 gallon batches, wouldn't I have more heat loss because of the air trapped in the mash tun, and, thus, worse insulation? |

What are the symptoms of poor aeration? Concerning your long fermentation, did you use a Wyeast Activator or Propagator? One reason I could think for that long a fermentation is that you used a propagator for a 5-gallon batch. If so, the yeast needed more time to populate and metabolise the sugars because its original population was pretty low for the batch. Concerning your not-carbonation, either you have used too little priming sugar or the fermentation process isn't complete for some reason. |

Maturation - what does it mean? Recently I was told about a guy on the internet who really liked stouts. He tried several recipes and at last only one remained. The only thing that was missing was the right maturation time. It turned out that he best liked his stout after exactly one year. I couldn't have waited this much nevertheless. :P |

Using commercial (breakfast) cereals in a mash Did the cereal give you extra fermentable sugars? You used 2 boxes of cereal for a batch of what size? |

What to do with a stuck fermentation after 2 days with my first beer kit? Never do that with a paddle, because you will also raise the dead yeast cells from the bottom. If you want tp rouse the yeast, just shake your fermentor. |

What can happened in a wheat beer with a lot of foam? I agree with brewchez. I suggest you just leave them in the bottles for a week or two and then try again. |

Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Failure There is also the "green apple off flavour" because of acetaldehyde. Check out this question brewadvice.com/questions/1028/… |
