I am definately interested, but if I buy this equipment before I get the grain flaker my wife wants it will not work out well for me. The Agar Recipe is interesting. I did look at the sticky. It is vey informative, and probably the method I will use in the future sometime. In fact, I'm...

Thanks for the tips. I really like the idea of trying these bottle scum yeasts in one gallon carboys. That way if it turns out no good I can make a vinegar out of it. I caught a really good wild mother strain with Jarritos Tamarind Soda. I dubbed it "Hairy Toes" which is a rather bad...

True. I found a set of instructions on growing yeast in petri dishes. Also To sanitize my beer equipment I use a strong bleach solution and boil in water. I was afraid to do either of these with the plastic juice bottles because I thought they might pick up a bleach smell or warp in...

I'll try this. This may work much better than my method, which seems to have inconsistant results. I didn't know if I should blame it on the method or the condition and type of yeast in the beers I grow it from. The yeast I have grown through the method I came up with has worked great for...

I've been trying to grow yeast from bottle sediment from commercial craft/microbreweries. I've started to have some success, but I've only used the yeast I've grown from sediment for bread so far. I figured I'd throw my method out here and see what other people think because I made the...

This looks REALLY good! I might try this this month.

I brewed an extract derivative of this beer and it is one of the best I've ever had! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/el-segundo-grado-witbier-186950/ This beer is SO refreshing. It is like Smuttynose Star Island Single with a hint of citrus, not unlike Southern Tier Hop Sun. This beer...

This is an extract version of an all-grain recipe on this website. The classic Belgian Witbier style is a light, somewhat tart, easy drinking wheat beer around 5% ABV which has a strong grapefruit and slightly peppery flavor from Indian coriander and Seville oranges. It should remain cloudy...

How did it turn out? I am planning to add Tamarind to one of my recipes. I came across the hopville recipe first but... 2-1/2 lbs of Tamarind? I have an 8 oz bag of the paste, and figured I'd be adding an ounce or two at flameout. I might just throw in a guess at flameout, I was...

This is cool!

I just finished up a batch. Here's what I have to say about it: Not bad at all! Reminds me of Atwater Dirty Blonde. This is what I would do differently next time: 1) Use the included yeast for, I don't know, bread or something and use a White Labs WLP400 or similar yeast. 2) Throw...

Update! I got radicalbrewing for my birthday!

Yes she's attending WCU, "Honors College" no less. I've got to drive her down there in July where she will stay in the dorm for a night and I will either be bored, fishing, or touring breweries. Most likely is fishing but touring breweries is a close second. I'll "get at you" in the near...

I looked for "Chamomile" and "Brewing." I got you and radicalbrewing.com. I can't buy the Radical Brewing book yet 'cause I think I'm getting it for my birthday, so I'm stuck with HBT for a couple weeks for my reading material.

Hey, My Daughter's going to school in West Chester in August! Where did you say those breweries were? Oh yeah, make sure you keep your hands off my daughter......
