PB2 sediment

This will be a silly question for everyone. I started brewing a Peanut Butter Fingers stout today. I followed the directions to the Tee except for doubling the amount of PB2...from 6.5 oz to 13 oz.....After about an hour, I noticed sediment in the bottom of the fermenter that covers the spout. My qu...

Peanut Butter Irish Stout

I am interested in brewing a Peanut Butter Stout using BD Irish Stout. I will be using PB2...my question is, when would I add the peanut butter flavoring. Do I add it when I boil the water, or would I add it to the wort after I bring it up to the final level? Thanx to all for any recommendations.

Fermentation

I am using BD 2 gallon fermenter brewing their Weizenbier. It has been fermenting for 1 week so far. I drew out a sample to check the gravity and noticed some carbonation. This is the first time this has happened..is this possible? And what should I do? Lol. Thanx for the feedback

Just Curious

I was a big fan of Black & Tan back in the day. Now that I have Brew Demon and brew my own, I was wondering if any of their beers would work for a Black & Tan.

Re: Split batch

Just an update.....I just divided the the batch into 2 measuring cups, took me a while to figure that one out lol. So simple!!! Luckily I had an extra packet of yeast. Now both 1 gal batches are fermenting away. Thanx everyone for the comments!

Split batch

A quick question for everyone. I would like to split a BD 2 gal recipe into 2 one gallon batches. Anyone ever do this? Any hints or suggestions to make the process not so messy.

First time brewer

Greetings to all!! This is my first time brewing with a Brewdemon (1 gallon fermentor). I guess this will be a silly question but here goes.....I followed the brewing directions to a T, but when I added my yeast to the mix, it all sank to the bottom. The temp was around 68 degrees when I added the y...

Re: Just got a Brewdemon

Just got a BrewDemon as well. Started with the 1 gal. kit. If all goes well, I will add another to stack....two batches are better than one! Look forward to upgrading as I go along.
