• Posted in thread: BearKaat Brewery Brand Image input needed! on 12-15-2012 at 07:49 PM
  I'll start with a dumb question, what's a Bearkaat? You've got this semi-suggestive feminine
  image of a woman on a barrel and I'm wondering what that is supposed to be telling me, but I
  have no idea i...

• Posted in thread: BearKaat Brewery Brand Image input needed! on 12-14-2012 at 01:25 AM
  I would like to start by thanking everyone in advance for their input. Currently, we are in the
  works of creating a brand image and label for our new and upcoming brewery. We are really
  trying to go f...

  I was thinking about making my own extract. Do you think one whole vanilla bean soaked in
  bourbon be too much?Thanks for the input!one whole bean soaked in bourbon will be plenty,

• Posted in thread: What is this? Infection? on 12-06-2012 at 02:06 AM
  I have had krausens look like that. I would say that it is more than likely just fine. The only
  way I would be concerned is if the krausen had fallen completely and then that showed up.
  However, if th...

  I agree with Deacon, a little vanilla extract goes a long ways. Also, I would consider adding

  experience. If yo...

  I had a brown ale turn out like this once. It was perfectly fine one day, and the next it
  looked like that. There were some white chunks, not quite as well defined as what yours looks
  like though. I h...

  The ONLY thing that tells us anything is a gravity reading.And sample glass to taste.

• Posted in thread: No/low aeration. Just more yeast? on 11-22-2012 at 08:43 PM
  Also, in regards to having 15 gallons and not being able to shake it. Simple solution, siphon

  yeast will ...
