I'm a beginner with only 6 complete batches behind me, the only time I brewed something undrinkable i had forgotten to aerate the wort (ok i also had a pitch temperature too high for the Belgian strain i was using and probably threw in too many spices in that beer). Anyways for the vitus...

Nope I just smacked the pack on the morning of brew day and pitched in the evening. I don't know how to make a starter yet, that was just my 6th batch since i begun brewing, so i'm learning, and learning, and learning and it will probably never end :) I had bought the yeast like 3/4 weeks...

On Off

Hi all, I've been lurking on this forum a couple of times and finally decided to join in on all the fun. I'm from France, a beginner home brewer (only 6 batches so far) and hoping to expand my brewing horizons among you others. :rockin: Cheers.
