- I started brewing in cabins in Alaska with no running water. I brewed 5 or 6 batches and decided that the whole process of sanitization and bottling was just too much to be enjoyable.rnrn15 years later, I'm married and settled down with better resources. I had long wanted to get back into it, but never ended up doing it. Finally, for my first wedding anniversary, my wife bought me a nice kit of an all glass carboy set up and kegging system.rnrnNew Years Day 2012, we brewed a partial mash Dunkel weizen. It was the next beer on my list when I quit the first time. I'm hooked again!!

Thanks for the replies!I am definitely a believer in strong happy healthy yeast being the

time lowers. In ...Posted in thread: Does Whirlpooling Inject Enough Oxygen on 11-19-2012 at 05:13 PM

What yeast did you use? S-04 drops like a brick. I concur you are fineCool, good to know. I did

I am brewing this right now. I don't have any dark candi sugar and the LHBS doesn't open for a
couple of hours. I was thinking of subbing in molasses. What do ye think?Posted in thread: Lagers: After D Rest, How Long Can I Leave Warm on 07-22-2012 at 03:17 AM
