		<description><![CDATA[Well I'm on the eve of doing my first lager. I kept waiting for the first problem to arise and now here it is. We have a huge freezer. I thought that I would be able to get it up to the mid 40's at least but right now it only seems to rest around the mid 30's. Is this the usual with large Kenmore freezers and what effect will it have on the fermentation?<br />

		<title>Major dissapointment</title>
		<link>http://www.brewingkb.com/pub/major-dissapointment-3957.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to have a strawberry rhubarb wheat ready for today at the annual cookout, but all I have is a case of the African Amber.  I havn't been able to brew for about 2 months, with all the family responsibilities, and a new job promotion at work time has been very very tight.  After this case I will have no beer left?  can you believe that, no freakin beer?
     I'm going to try to bang out 2  10 gallon batches this weekend, and maybe that will keep me in beer for a while.  As usual, I end up giving to much of it away, oh well, i'll learn my lesson some day.<br />

		<title>Weak carbonation &amp; smoky film</title>
		<link>http://www.brewingkb.com/bottling/weak-carbonation-smoky-film-3956.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[We bottled a honey ale 3 weeks ago and the carbonation is pretty weak.  Also, there is a smoky looking film at the top of each beer; when held up to a light you can see it drifting down through the beer (looks like smoke).  Any ideas as to what this is?    I suspect it may be sanitizer residue (though the directions state "no rinsing").  Is this related to my weak carbonation?  We are fairly new at this but we were very meticulous with the sanitizing (dishwasher and then One-step).  Should we rinse after sanitizing?  Beer taste OK, just a little flat.  We appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.<br />

		<title>First time pitching ontop of yeast cake</title>
		<link>http://www.brewingkb.com/homebrewing/first-time-pitching-ontop-yeast-cake-3954.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm planning on brewing a Pale Ale this weekend, and was then planning on doing an oatmeal stout in a couple weeks.  Can I pitch the oatmeal stout wort on top of the yeast from the APA and have no problems?

Is the hops in the primary after fermentation from the APA,  going to cause issues with the oatmeal stout?<br />

		<title>Floating thermometer problem</title>
		<link>http://www.brewingkb.com/homebrewing/floating-thermometer-problem-3953.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys.  My floating thermometer broke and a few (maybe 10 or so) of the tiny black balls got into my peach puree.  I didn't notice until after I had poured it into my carboy (fermentation started yesterday).  I am guessing they are some kind of metal.  Does anyone know what kind, and if so will it ruin the batch?  Thanks.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[New to the concept of lagering. Should I wait until fermentation has taken off before I place the fermenter in the cooler? Also is there anything different I should do with making a starter for a lager?<br />

		<description><![CDATA[I've come across some reconditioned 5 gallon corny kegs at $20 a piece on Craigslist.  The only problem is that it's about a 2hr trip one way to go get them.  Do you guys think it's worth the drive at that price?  This same place is also selling food grade 6.5 gallon buckets for $3.<br />

		<title>Safale US-04 is a wicked ripper!</title>
		<link>http://www.brewingkb.com/homebrewing/safale-us-04-wicked-ripper-3947.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I have used this yeast many times in the past and am always surprised at how quick it starts and the blowoff. I even told my buddy when he took his half home- make sure you set up a blowoff right away. Well this morning I went out to check mine, and after pitching at 4pm yesterday, this is what I had to clean up. 
[img]http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc314/thirsty_02/us04.jpg[/img]
This is an old ale with an OG of .090. I pitched 2 packs of us04 rehydrated into each carboy. There is also 3# of corn sugar and 1# of Lyle's black treacle in there too, so this one is hugely fermentable. Mashed at 152. This will probably finish in the mid to high teens in less than a week, but I will leave it in primary for 3 weeks. Then off to the oak!<br />

		<title>What should I do with my starter?</title>
		<link>http://www.brewingkb.com/homebrewing/what-should-do-with-my-starter-3946.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I was planning on brewing the BKB summer community ale today, I even made a yeast starter yesterday.  Then I cut my hand open with a kitchen knife, so I'm not going to be able to lift anything for a few days.

So here's my question, I made the starter on thursday, but I probably won't brew it untill Monday now.  So is it cool to just leave the starter go untill then, or should I pop it into the fridge maybe Saturday or sunday and then take it out and decant on monday?<br />
