Gym - what mash temp do you think you had?
How far out is the thermometer? What does it read in boiling water and ice water?
How did you measure the SG? Hydro or refractometer? At what temp?
What yeast did you use? If liquid, how much did you pitch?
1.040 seems way too high unless you were making a barleywine...... but until you give me more details i can only guess as to what went wrong and what the result might be.
Without knowing anymore my first guess is a stuck ferment possibly from underpitching.
Thanks James thats pritty much what it seems ..
By gestamation i think there dubbleing in size ever 24hrs
in 3 days ive gorn form 2 liters to 16 so that will do for the time beeing..
into the fridge thay go ..
Hey Warra & Friends ..
When u release the gas from one of your bottles of yeast farming..
What does it smell like ?
I turned a wyeast packet into about 30 bottles all about 2 litters each and had them in the fridge
They must be still fermenting and i released the gas from them all and it smelt like shit.
Well to be precise it smelt like a fart ..
Cant possibly see that it could be off as my sterilizing < with a Z lol was exemplary..
1 possibly 2 unlikely 30 no bloody way.. so is it supposed to smell like mmm not rotten egg that’s to bad is say a semi bad fart after a a few home brews the night b4..lol
Im going to pitch it into a can brew as im not risking 30 bucks worth of grain incase it is bugged..
What ya all think?
PS there is no funny color or fur or anything on the top of the bottles all looks perfectly fine the mix even smells fine just the co2 the smells like crap ..

Not sure what to do about this yeast I’ve got my next grain arriving today and no yeast to pitch,
Except left over kit chit or what came out of my fomenters..

These you think I should order ?
I also wanted those little plastic caps that go on the keg lid legs as I received a keg without them and it doesn’t seal properly until its hit with a big charge of gas..
