I noticed you had your fermenter right in front of a window in front of direct sunlight. That can cause some major skunkage if you're not careful, keep that thing out of the sun!

Did you have any issues with over flow? I brewed this beer and it blew the lid of the primary fermenting bucket from the aggressive fermentation. The airlock was working fine. There was just too much CO2 escaping. I had to make a blow off valve. I hope there was not too much contamination.

what was the OG of this beer??

"Do you consider yourself a good brewer?"

"I did until i had foam coming out of the carboy like that"

HAHA...no really nice stuff though, making me thirsty.

@Localh81 I got everything at austin home brew. They are local to me, but they do online orders... hell I'm so lazy I've even had them deliver to me here in town :)

did you dump it into the plastic fermenter to help aerate? I do a four day primary in a plastic bucket and siphon into a glass carboy- for cleaning purposes. i was wondering if you've tried this and think glass is better for primary and secondary.

[anarchotron]

@brad9374 I like glass for primary and secondary because it is easy to clean. And I did dump it through the bucket to aerate it, yes. Between dumping it into the bucket and then through the funnel I think it gets plenty of air.

All that trub! Your whirlpool was supposed to separate the hop sediment from your wort so that it doesn't go into your fermenter. I'm sure your beer still turned out alright. Oh, and instead of dumping the contents into a bucket and THEN dumping them thru a funnel into the carboy - SIPHON it instead. Less splashing. AND you can fully utilize that Whirlpool! I'm impressed you didn't make much mess whilst transferring. Keep brewing!

[muriloninja]

There is nothing wrong in leaving the Hops in the Wort when adding to the fermenter. I never strain out the Hops and never use Hop socks. Something like that comes down to personal preference.

[gwan79]

That's cool. I won't be too fussed the next time there's too much trub in my fermentor. Thanks for the tip

Try putting cheap vodka in your airlock instead of water. Any dust or bugs that get in there will be instantly sanitized...

Always nice to see someone with as much of an appriciation for Dogfish Head as myself. If you ever come to Sussex County, Delaware, they serve 120 IPA at the brew pub in Rehobeth Beach, its like 22% apv, and delicious.
