How many kegs do you have left?

Interested. Still available?

So as any other homebrewer looking to save a few bucks, I'm looking into reusing yeast as a mean to saving money. I tried spening some time online seeing if it okay for me to just throw my wort on a fresh yeast cake. I have read so many opinions and school of thoughts behind doing this. I...

Ive used brett trois several times and enjoyed it very much. It will jot give you so much funk as you would like, even if its a little bit. I love this strain because it gives more of a tropical fruitiness to my beers. Its flavor profile is different from regular sachromyces but it is not...

If youre willing to drop the price to $50 a pop i can purchase a few from you. Maybe 3 or 4?

Cool I would love to hear how these turn out an change over the next month!

If your FG is still above 1.010 the Brett has not finished doing its work. Brett is known for bring gravity waaay down close to 1.000. I would let this sit about another month or two, thats just the nature of Brett, It needs time to work. Check gravity in about 1-2 months. If Your under 1.005...

Sounds like i definitely need to acidify my sparge water then!

Thats what I was thinking about being a possibility seeing how i fly sparge on all my brews. Good to know!

In the case of acidifying the sparge water, seeing how you would sparge at such a high temperature would having high hardness or alkalinity affect the pH? If the acids from the malts are already flushed out by the time we sparge what effects will the second runnings have? My belief was, and...

Yooper im brewing in southern California so I ONLY use additions to lower pH in the form of calcium chloride or gypsum or acid malt. So is there any reason to add any of those into the sparge water? If not should I put all my additions into the mashtun with the grains? Thanks!

Yeah so far Ive been treating all of my water volume with the total amount of additions needed. But I was wondering if I split the addition as Bru n Water recommends will it make my adjustment more accurate and reflect whats on the spread sheet. From what i can tell so far, everyone has their...

I have recently decided to go down the rabbit hole of water chemistry. I am using the Bru n Water spread sheet to help me reach my numbers and to help me add the right salts. My question to you all is a simple but potentially not so simple. When adding the brewing salts, do you add it all to...

No in/out posts on them?
