Had a great brew day today with friends and family. Unfortunately it occurred to me afterward that I made a dumb mistake. My IPA recipe calls for 5 ounces of simcoe. I normally measure out 5 ounces at the start of the boil and just eyeball the additions. Today for some dumb reason I mistook 0.5...
So I'm trying to get some yeast from a 6 pack of sweetwater ipa. I've never tried this nor have I ever made a yeast starter. I've always just pitched the smack packs.
I don't see anything happening in the wort I added to the sweetwater. I didn't see any sludge at the bottom of the bottles...
Hey there. I've been brewing for about 2 years now. I live in Charleston with 4 kids and I work weekends/homeschool kids during week so my brew time is always a bit limited but i love it. I love the smell of a hot dripping bag of grains.
Anyways, I have a question that may be better in...
