Top Cropping US-05 timing & re-skimming

Still new to this game but tried my first attempt at top cropping yeast off a bubbling wort.
I scooped my first batch off the top 24-36 hours after air lock bubbling, it was a thinner layer than expected but still got some.
12 hours later I've inspected my batch and about 5-7mm of yeast has settled ...

Crackenback Pale Ale recipe help Please

Happy New Year to you all firstly.

Secondly thanks to all whom helped me with my last 3 partial mash recipes (Bum, emnpaul, big dave and others) (They're all tasting good).

Thirdly I'm planning a new recipe where I'd like to swap either/both the LDME & LLME with some grain to do a partial. I'm not ...

SNPA partial clone, experts adjustments please.

Ok. Damn the worrier here.

Just trying to find a simple partial/extract that works and I'll forever keep my silence (on SNPA's that is), sorry to choke up the forum with SNPA queries. I know there is many, many more good Beers out there.
Here is a recipe I've gleaned from http://forum ...

Grain complexity can it be simpler?

Just starting to do partial mashes, trying a couple of different recipes. One of my local HBS has a simple selection of grains with out much detail. I would like to use this store as it is closer but their choices of Milled to order are limited to 6 grains. Namely "Ale, Choclate, Dark Crystal ...

On the other hand I'd be quite happy to swap the original grain bag for 3 long necks anyones 2nd finest ale. From Olinda to East Bentleigh victoria.

I'm quite prepared to try these three or any adjustments you may suggest.

Re: Cooling wort in fermenter overnight. Help....

The fridge temp was set 19c. Ok, good advice thanks. So I will seal my brew pot with glad wrap shortly after flameout and replace the Lid. Would tipping the wort in the fermenter the following morning be enough agitation for aeration? Then I will add either hot or cold water to get the the temp to ...

How to heat Fermenting Fridge?

Hi Guys,

Interested what others have set up. My first fermenting fridge has a thermostat and a heat pad. After I bottle I crate and stack back on top of pad for conditioning in fridge.
I've scored myself a second fridge, I have a second thermostat and are wondering if there is a better heater? I've ...

I agree with MLAB.

I'm about 4 weeks ahead of you in my apprenticeship. I started my 2nd brew, a lager, without realising they is more involved than an Ale.
I'm not by all means discouraging you, I just suggest you have clear plan from Brew to Bottle of timing, temp control, resting & lagering. I'm ...

Re: Larger Secondary Fermentation Temp and Timing.

Does that mean I do a secondary ferment even lower than primary. I can get my fridge to form icicles on drinks, so maybe not that low?
Is there an ideal Temp?
