  I usually just dump everything through a big strainer. You could get a muslin bag and put the
  hops in there during the boil.Was the recipe in terms of pellet hops? If so, pellet hops
  generally get bet...

  So I went to GABF this year with some friends and had my first experience with sours and other
  lambics. I was instantly hooked. My question is when brewing lambics or sours, do you guys
  separate all n...

  I've seen different style poppets depending on the brand of keg. If the circle is off, maybe

  I wouldn't worry about it. The CO2 blanket on top of the beer as a result of fermentation will
  protect it to a degree. Some breweries do completely open fermentations and don't have issues.
  As long as...

  A steam beer is a style that uses lager yeasts and ale temps, so I wouldn't worry about it. I
  think it'll be pretty cool to see what happens with this!

  temperature matters most in the beginning of fermentation. After a few days, the yeast have
  generated most o...
