So, I read all 11 pages, and am thoroughly confused. Really, up to 3 liters of yeast starter in a 5 gal batch? This is where I start to get confused. We have dry yeast and smackpacks/whitelabs, all rated to go into a 5 gallon batch up to what... 1.055? So, if this little amount of yeast can do...

Wow. Might want to find the "how to brew" section of the forum. Problem is, at 10 days, chances are your beer isnt even close to being done fermenting. Might want to put those bottles in a plastic bag in a box before they explode. Dont get me wrong, im not trying to set a poor tone. Please...

Cream ale from Northern Brewer. Make your batch, leave in the primary for 5-6 days, transfer to secondary, and add 2 lbs of FROZEN blackberries. Let that secondary for at least two weeks.... make sure to check final gravity before removing from secondary. Makes a GREAT blackberry cream ale...

Northern just got em in today. Picked one up while I was there this afternoon.

Just took an all grain class at Northern in Milwaukee, and was introduced to the wonders of the refractometer. Im in love. The worst part about it, everyone on the face of the earth is out of stock! Looking for one with a Brix/ Wort SG in a heavier duty aluminum with ATC (or the exact model...

Was making a batch of cream ale this morning. Went through the normal proceedure.... pull yeast from fridge, smack it, and give a shake. So, I let it expand as usual, no concerns. Then, I went to put it into my sani solution. I put the pack in the water, all of a sudden we have a stream of yeast...
