My setup - regular laundry tub does it for me :) Just need to get myself a decent faucet and Im good!

I see, my choice of Yeast and Fermentation temp were maybe a bit off... :\ Darn. I always oxygenate with a regular pump (about 5mins) before incorporating the yeast.... Would getting the keg out of the kegerator for a week or so help? Or should I simply leave of tap for now and see where it goes?

Hey fellas, So I brewed an Altbier recently, that I kegged 3 weeks later... I just tasted it (4weeks since brewing), and I get some acetaldehyde (or maybe green pear?) taste from it.... Any ideas why? Any way I can try to fix this? -OG 1.053 (oops, too high) FG 1.010 -Used WLP029, with a...

I'll give it a try! Merci Mike.

I ended up brewing yesterday and used Windsor and Mashed low (148F). Estimated FG will be 1.027.

If I go Windsor (which I've been recommended), mash super low (148F) and add 1lb of Corn Sugar, I would probably end in the 1.024 range.... I think I will do US-05, but will mash a bit higher than usual, ditch the sugar and get an FG of about 1.021....which I think would be fine... Thoughts?

I am not equipped for a starter. No Flask, No stirplate. I could go buy a 2L flask today (LHBS, 20$) but, as per Mr Malty, would need 3 packs of liquid yeast (LHBS, 33$) using the "Intermitent Shaking" method. That boosts the cost of my batch!

Honestly, I am getting confused by this. Some people are telling me 2 packs, and some are saying 3 packs.... I felt like going with 3 packs would simply avoid underpitching..

Yea, next thing Im jumping into is liquid yeast... but for now I'll keep going with Dry ;)

O.G 1.096, 6.3Gal if that can help........

Hey, So I found a Clone recipe for Stone's Russian Imperial Stout and Im currently planning to brew it on Saturday. https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/3128-stone-imperial-russian-stout-clone I got all my malts and hops, but I am still confused about which DRY yeast to use... Most people...

Oh you brew beer? "Disgusted face" Oh go to hell with your homemade wine from a kit! "Cool, can you explain to me how you do that?", then space out and not interested after 30 seconds of explanation. Y u do dis? "You brew pales? I don't like pales" (Referring to bitter beers like...

If you are kegging, just do 2.3 carbonation and it will end up great!

Trying this one tonight. Wow, more than 3/4 of a pound of Hops!

Great news! Congrats to the buyer!
