One vial is generally about the right amount of yeast for 2-3 gallon batches. As long as that beer is not too strong, you can just harvest the yeast cake. I don't bother washing out the trub, as...

I don't know what size starter you'll need, but I wouldn't make one. Just make a 2-3 gallon batch of bitter or mild and use the resulting cake as your starter. As mentioned above, if you need the...

If it's high-alpha, it can be used to bitter something else. Half an ounce of 15% hops should give you around 25 IBUs, which may be all you need for many styles. You can mix different hops to hit...

If you want to make it easier, you can mash, boil and pitch the grain into the whole wort. When it's soured long enough for your tastes, bring the whole thing up to 170F (or boil if you like, lactic...

I have to ask. If you're not collaborating, exactly what are you going to do with 60 gallons of beer?

I used 6g fresh rosemary at flameout and another 16g as a dry-hop in a Black IPAish beer I made, along with a little sage and plenty of CTZ. The rosemary is very prominent. The beer is decent on its...

Peaches have the reputation of being pretty unassertive when put into beer. I've heard apricots and mangoes do a better job of delivering peach flavor than peaches do, although I've yet to use any of...

The corn will leave you with a lighter bodied beer. Carapils will do the exact opposite. I don't know what you're going for exactly, so I can't say how to best formulate the recipe. At the gravity...

1. What's the corn for?
2. It's more for aroma than for flavor, but these are not two totally different things.
4. Chuck it in.
5. It will slow the yeast down a little, but it should still carb....

3711 should still give you a pretty dry beer, despite all the caramel malts. The hop schedule in post #2 looks good, although I might drop the IBUs to around 25, moving the hops you saved to...

I think the IBUs and ABV have stopped the lacto, and if it hadn't, there's not any food left for it at this point. There is still hope for the pedio, but I would think you would have seen the...

The grain bill looks fine, unless you wanted to go bigger. MO is a fine base malt, but I would save it for a lighter style where its contributions won't be obscured. If you want heavy on the roast,...

I've found the grain to be more assertive than store-bought, although I've never compared IBU-tolerance, since I go with Mike's zero approach. As mentioned, there is bound to be more than just lacto...
