I repitched WLP830 German lager yeast. The slurry was pretty old, 2 months. I thought I pitched enough yeast, 2 mason jars. I rushed the fermentation and when I was kegging the beer I got a lot of sulfur. My question is will the sulfur blow off if it’s in the keg? I didn’t really notice it in...

I’ve been reusing the same original WLP001 for like 7 maybe 8 times. The results have been phenomenal. Fast start, clean beers, good attenuation etc. I am doing my last repitch with it and plan on doing a Pliny Clone. A group of my friends it’s their favorite beer and no matter how much they...

Due to some miss calculations and timing on my part I ended up with wort that sat @2 days before pitching yeast. I have pitched my yeast the following day before but with my standard speidel fermenter with no issues. This time the wort sat in an ale pail . The Bucket sat in my fridge with a heat...

brewed a "New England" IPA and it's on day 12 in the fermenter. The target FG is 1.015. Below is a rough estimate of the recipe: 20% wheat malt 10% flaked oats 70% 2 row The OG was 1.066 and I pitched a yeast slurry from my previous IPA using London 3. I pitched 100ml of slurry with a...

I did a second dry hop in my IPA of 2ozs. I used pellets hops and put them in without a bag. I am racking to my keg after two days. I didn't think this one though and now I am thinking the hops won't drop to the bottom before I rack to the keg. I rack with a speidel fermenter via the spigot on...

Disregard my post...cheers.

I am new to making starters as I usually make smaller batches and usually just pitch a packet of dry yeast. I am trying to fine tune my brewing and one step is to make sure I am pitching the appropriate amount of yeast. I am brewing a 3 gallon batch this weekend with a OG of 1.062. I am using...

After a day of full fermentation I came home from work and my wort temp at full fermentation was at 72. I am using a swamp cooler in which my pail is submerged fully underwater. When I saw the temp at 72 I put some ice in the water. Then tried every 20 min or so to check the temp and add more...

I recently brewed a 2.5 gallon batch and pitched a whole vile of WLP001 without a starter. I then harvested the yeast in 1 pint and half pint mason jars. I am a newbie so I am doing 2.5 gallon batches to experiment, learn, plus my fermentation cooler only holds small vessels. If I pitch the 1...

I am doing my first home brew Friday. The recipe was pulled from this site. The zombie dust clone. The recipe calls for steeping grains and 6 lbs of DME, with the first hop addition at 60 for bittering. The recipe is for 5 gallons. The problem is my brew kettle is only 5 gallons so I have...
