    ESB and Porter From Same(ish) Wort? Cold Steeping Dark Grains.

    For awhile now I have been brewing 11g batches and splitting them with different yeasts and other additives (saison/lager, wheat/saison, IPA/Belgian IPA, etc.) to create two distinct beers from the same wort. Last week I realized that I needed to use a package of Wyeast 1968 before it got too...

    Will Lagering Get Remove Diacetyl

    I love butterscotch, just not in my most recent Pilsner. I made a starter, let it ferment, gradually brought it up the beer up to 68 for a d-res of 7 days. Gradually brought it down. Clarified with gelatin. Just pulled a sample and I have a butterscotch Pilsner. Yuck. Will letting this sit at 35...

    Flaked Corn/Maize

    Is there any store that would sell flaked corn/maize not including a homebrew shop? My LHBS was out of it and would like to get some for Sunday (online not an option). I know that grocery stores don't really carry it but wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. Also, has anyone...

    Belgian IPA Fermentation

    Pitched a healthy starter of Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes on 1.070 wort at 62 degrees planning to immediately ramp up to 68 but I forgot to change the setting. It fermented at 62 for 12 hours. This is way to low to get the beautiful character from that Belgian yeast. Should I slowly ramp up to...

    Anyone ever "Dry-Spice" after fermentation.

    I split a 10 gallon batch, one with WPL 800 (Pilsner ferment at 49) and the other with WPL 566 (Saison II ferm at 80). I just finished a keg of saison and was thinking about changing this one up a bit. Normally I would have added coriander, orange peel and/or pepper with about 5-10 min left, but...

    Style Suggestions for Yeast Bay Blends

    So I read the American Sours book and got super excited. I immediately went to the Yeast Bay and picked up a bunch of stuff. I have yet to make a sour, and although these forums are helpful, i'm not really sure what style the blends that I got are best suited for. Also do I need to pitch...

    Fermentation Time vs. Keg Time

    So I posted earlier about making a few beers for a charity. I ended up using two 5 gallon batches that I had already kegged, and then brewing up 15 gallons of American Wheat with Kolsch yeast. It was brewed last sunday, and final gravity came out a little higher then I wanted, at 1.057. I...

    Brewing the Masses: What Two Beers Do You Brew

I have been brewing for about 2 years and normally just do one off batches, variety is the spice of life right? Anyways i'm looking for some input about what I should, or...

    Pitched two strains, good idea to wash?

    So I made an IPA with a starter and an extra vial of Conan (Vermont Ale) yeast, I was a little skeptical about the vials because they had been exposed to excess heat during shipping. The yeast didn't take off after 72 hours so I pitched to packages of Thames Valley 1275 and fermentation and had...
