What's your all in cost on something like that?
A few bucks
I didn't keep exact track of everything I spent, and I'm not sure I want to know
Could have bought a lot of beer for what I spent, I do know that.

Haha, I didn't mean to imply it is not worth the cost. I look at it as a hobby just like hunting and fishing, brewing is cheap compared to those 2.

I didn't think you were implying that, it's all good

I've never known 3711 not to go down lower. I'd just ride it out. That strain does pretty good work in the low 70s.

It's probably low 70's in the closet that it's in, and when I looked at it today I saw. a couple bubbles moving in the airlock so it's doing something.

Question for the pros-
Like the rookies that we are, we cold crashed the beer on Saturday, but left the blowoff tube in and in the star San solution. About 1/2 gallon-ish got sucked into the carboy.
A quick google says we are likely safe to drink it. Flavor will most definitely be off, but apparently safe to consume. Most other forums say drink it unless it's nasty.
How F'd are we? Should we RDWAHAHB? Drink it until we don't like it anymore?

Not an expert but I'd definitely RDWHAHB, it probably won't be that big of a deal.

It is safe to drink, so if it tastes fine go for it. You have to be careful with blow off systems being higher than the level of beer.

It sounds like you can drink star San and it won't harm you.
I wouldn't make a habit of it though

If it tastes fine, drink it.

thanks for confirming. Keep y'all posted on our star San IPA.

I taught someone to brew today, we made an orange cream ale. Also, I have a Kolsch I started last week. I cannot decide whether or not to do a secondary fermentation, I am thinking not. I am not fired up over the Kolsch but it is for my neighbor who keeps me in Grolsch bottles.

How are you adding the orange to the cream ale?
Posted on 4/19/15 at 8:12 pm to HoustonChick86
We used dried orange peel for the last 15 minutes of the boil. We will add powdered vanilla at the bottling, the beer is like a dreamsicle, not sweet though. People really love it. I made it last summer and it went really quick.

Helped HC brew her Lemon Basil Witbier yesterday morning and racked the mead I worked up a few weeks ago. In a little over two weeks of fermentation time it went from 1.1000 to 1.000... 13% or so. That's a much faster fermentation than I expected, time now to just wait and let it mellow out.

checked my hoppy wheat and it was already fermented out after 5 days, so I dumped in 3 ounces to dry hop
started planning the next batch, a tart plum wheat. Gonna go small on this one, just 1.039 with 40% wheat and 10% acid malt. Planning to add the acid malt after the 45 minutes or so of the mash so it doesn't change the ph too much for good conversion.

I plan on brewing an Imperial Red IPA next... probably in a few weeks when we are kegging the Lemon Basil Wit. With the mead going we don't really have space to do two additional beers at once.

Spent the whole day by the pool yesterday since we finally got to see some sunshine. So I'll be brewing after work today. Or tomorrow. Or whenever I finally get around to it.
