well it seems to have settled down
racked it one more time and will prolly bottle by thurs

Probably a combination of lots of fermentable sugars and low fermentation temps. I would hold off. Maybe rack the beer to another secondary and make sure it is clear with no activity before you bottle. Better to be patient than sorry. john I've been fermenting in my basement. it's about 65° down th...

http://www.thegrape.net/browse.cfm/4,12232.html brewed it 2 weekends ago i went to rack it last weekend and it was still pretty foamy, about 2 inches of big, yeasty bubbles. i decided to rack it anyway. it continued the big foamy yeasty lookin head for most of the week. just starting to settle down ...

it's supposed to be bitter. That's why I like it.

Did you read on the news that hops prevent prostate cancer?

1) Ferment cooler (warmer ferments are more violent) 2Hope this helps john I think that was it. Since the amount of water to boil is more than a standard batch it takes longer to cool (duh). I was impatient the first time around and only cooled it to 75. Cooled it to 68 this time...no problems 8)

Will it be enough to let it splash when I rack right before bottling? Or does it need to sit for a while after that?

On 3/13 I brewed a batch of G&G American Pale Ale. I used Wyeast #1056. It took about 36 hours for the yeast to get going and when it finally did it seemed a little lethargic. I let it go until 3/19 and then proceeded to rack it to the secondary. As I was racking I noticed a slight sulfury smell...
