  Last week my son and I brewed 10 gallons of Wee Heavy and 10 gallons of BarleyWine. We used a
  Wyeast 1728 into about a 1.8 ltr starter for each 5 gallon carboy of the Wee Heavy (target was
  10.8% ABV) ...

  Started using Fermcap with this latest batch. Did 4 1600 ml starters, 2 each of Wyeast 1388 and
  White Cry Havoc. One drop in each and foam stay at less than 2". Did 10 gallons of Kolsh and 10
  gallons ...

  I work out of town and my son made up the yeast starters for some bocks we were going to brew
  last weekend. Unfortunately I had to stay over the weekend and I just told him to put the
  starters in the ...

  Using a Marzen with a normal ABV of 5.5% as a base, Beersmith shows (on a 10 gallon batch) for
  20 lbs of sugar to be 54% of the fermentable sugar. ABV at 10 gallons shows 17.4%.Maybe insane
  - all depe...

  OK - I think my plan is to make a Marzen as the base and add 20 lbs of Honey to get it over 51%
  of the sugar. Add the Honey to the carboys and add the beer. Pitch (Wyeast 1084) and start to
  ferment as...

  OK - so if I were going to use an amber for the base beer (and I understand I can use any style
  for the base) I would figure out how much honey I needed to get at least 51% of the sugar from
  it. Brew ...

  How do you get the honey into solution in the wort at what is essentially room temp once the
  fermentation has started. As my mash tun is essentially limited when it comes to high gravity
  brews, we mix...

  Many thanks. Clears that up for me.

  I think getting the process down as second nature is a key ingredient. My son and i brew about
  twice a month. We both know what we each do and when. I usually add the grain as he paddles it
  in. I set ...
