I would take a pound of centennial if you are interested in shipping

I usually use 2565 so have only used 029 once. My first kolsch I missed kinda high and instead of diluting in the kettle I let it ride. Ended up about a 6.1, I liked it a lot. Have you taken a gravity reading? If it is done I would cold crash it for a few days then rack to a keg. This is where I...

Some recipes will list quarts per pound of grain, if not, 1.25 to 1.5 quarts of water to pound of grain is a decent guideline. As others have mentioned, if you have a good idea of what your boil off is ( the amount of wort you lose while boiling ) you will know what your initial volume of wort...

Out of curiosity, are you still dumping everything from your brew pot into your fermenter?

Congrats on the new mill! Due to many variables, it is very hard to exactly pinpoint what your efficiency will be for any given mash. We can come close, but even when you hit your your number on the head, we still have to boil it. We can again, thru repetition dial in our boil losses pretty...

+1 Hunter I cold crash everything before kegging . I don't secondary very often, unless I am dry hopping and want to harvest yeast or really need the fermenter. Cold crashing really clears your beer and as a result you send less crap to your keg. The other bonus come if you are a "burst...

Those were three minutes of my life that I will never have again. I weep... I weep

Thanks for the info Race. I see the site is back up this morning. I have gotten some amazing deals from this site. Thanks, Jim

Seems like Jamil said american wheat yeast came from a Kolsch yeast. Might have been the style section from a BYO edition.

The last few days I have been unable to access Homebrewfinds.com. Does anyone know where it went. Today google says it can't find the site.

I did the same thing with a lager yeast. It sucks to be stupid! Went wyeast site and found this; 17. What should you do if the yeast is frozen? Thaw out in fridge. Activate and assess the time that it takes to swell. If there is no activation within 24 hrs, do not use. If there is...

I brewed a german pilsner a few weeks ago and spaced off the moss. I bought some Biofine and had a few questions. How much are you folks using per gallon? I have researched this fairly well, and cannot seem to find consensus. My second question would be this; after a diacetyal rest I am in the...

Need bottles in nw indiana. Dang this was easier when every bar had them for the price of deposit!

Just curious, did you use 029 or 2565? Jim
