    So I've been brewing on the usual coolers and propane fired kettle for awhile and want to make the move to electric for multiple reasons. I've been looking at the options and have a few systems in sight, each with a drawback or two...

    Pitching dregs in a mostly fermented beer

    I brewed a sour wort berliner that ended up funky, sweet and grainy, and was going to pitch it, but I had a bottle of almanac Farm to Barrel and decided to pitch the dregs and see what happened. The beer had fermented down below 1.010 before pitching the dregs, so there wasn't much left to chew...

    Sour mash berliner losing it's sour?

    I've made 2 batches of this recipe over the last few months and recently opened one of my base (non-fruited) sours from my first batch. It has moved from a very lactic sour, almost like spoiled milk, to now more of a white wine flavor, without much in the way of tartness. I noticed my later...

    Firestone Double Barrel Clone, stuck fermentation?

    So I did a double barrel clone (OG 1.05) and it's been about 2.5 weeks and it's stuck at 1.02. Should I pitch another vial of yeast (WLP005)? Make a starter and pitch that? If so, how big? I've never had this happen before. I'm pretty surprised, this had a healthy starter, was aerated pretty...
