I want to brew up a barley wine using the yeast from an ipa I just brewed. Can i just pour the wort right on top of the yeast cake or do i need to wash the yeast first? Do I need to worry about the old trub and spent yeast cells? I never tried to reuse yeast before. Thanks

I planted 2 cascade rhizomes this year. The cones are turning yellowish and papery, and look like they should be picked but they don't have any smell. Is this common with first year hops, and can i use them? thanks

i made a starter using one of those 1000 ml conical flasks (1/2 c dme 3c water). i was shaking it up just before pitching when a perfectly shaped tear drop hole blew out the side of the flask shooting yeast all over me. i got about half the starter in the wort. does any one know if i'm going to...

Getting ready to do my first lager. The recipe calls for fermenting it at 50 degrees. When i make my starter do i want to keep it at 50 degrees also while it gets going? thanks

i just dropped my thermometer into my wort and it cracked on the bottom. I dont think any glass is in there but maybe some of the pelets in the bottom of the thermometer. did i just ruin my beer??

I racked my first brew to my secondary a few days ago. I added 1oz of cascade hops (pellet) for dry hopping. how long can these be left in or dosent it matter. Thanks.

Was wondering if there was any pros or cons in using dme to prime your bottles instead of corn sugar or vice vesa. thanks

First time brewing. I tried to make a pale ale from grains w/ extracs. When i first put my airlock on it started bubbling within a couple minutes now i've had nothing for about 36 hours. Is this normal? Thanks
