    SafBrew T-58: How hot is too hot?

    So I brewed up a batch of Liquid Stupid this past weekend and was only able to chill it to the upper 90's due to warm groundwater. I pitched 2 packets of T-58, said a brief prayer to the brewing gods, and airlocked it. It's going great now, and I know it'll be fine eventually, but I'm curious...

    Low F.G. from overzealous S-04/low mash temps(?). Thoughts on a fix for the future?

    So I brewed what I think is a delicious British-style special bitter, as close to style guidelines (2008) as I possibly could. The color, flavor, and IBU level are all spot-on to what I was going for. The problem is the F.G. Minimum for the style is 1.009, I'm sitting at 1.006. The grain...

    WLP530: OK for a wit?

    So I'm prepping to brew my first AG batch on my new system and I want to do something light and Belgian-y. I'm planning on using WLP530 for the yeast, so I have a nice big cake ready to go for Liquid Stupid Day. My question is this: Could I use WLP530 (Westmalle strain) to ferment a wit...

    Weissbier Panic Button Hefeweizen

    So there's a bit of a story about this one...I needed another keg of beer for the Halloween party this past fall, and only had eighteen days to do it. So I panicked a little bit, threw this batch together, and hoped for the best. It's quick, it's easy, and it's very very tasty at only 2 weeks...

    Holitastic Holiday Ale

    This is a very tasty, roasty holiday beer. Dark and smooth, with hints of citrus and spices. Very very good on a cold winter evening. Drink it slow, to let it warm up. At low temperatures the spices are almost completely masked by the roasted malt, but come into their own as the beer warms...

    High-Test Pumpkin Ale

    This is a very drinkable pumpkin ale with some very good spicing. Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you! It's actually quite easy, and well worth the effort. It's very drinkable after about 4 weeks from pitching, but gets even better with time. The spices really mellow and blend...

    Greetings from beautiful Delaware!

    Good morning all. I'm a long time lurker, first time member. I've been brewing for a few years now, and have a decent number of batches (>20, but who's counting?) under my belt. I currently do a mix of all grain and extract, depending on my access to equipment, though I hope to be able to go...
