I have two bottles of Jolly Pumpkin. One Bam Beir and the other Orzo. From the can you brew it episodes, it seems like their house bugs might be the same for every beer. I am just wondering if I should harvest the dregs separately or just grow both bottles up together.* Also, I am not...

I have been reading a bunch of info on oxygenation of wort prior to pitching. Wyest has some good info on their website, they state that 40 seconds of shaking the carboy can get you 8ppm O2. Ideally you want to have 12ppm O2 in solution. This can only be achieved with use of pure oxygen. I am...

Hey guys I think I am going to start brewing belgian style beers this winter. I have a question concerning attenuation. Say you have two identical grain bills and make two identical worts. ie:10 lbs US2row and 2 lbs crystal 60 resulting in a SG of 1.055 If you used 2 different yeast...

Ok sorry about another airlock activity thread. I brewed a Hefeweizen 10 days ago. Started fermentation at 62deg had vigorous fermentation for 3 days then ramped to 70deg over 2 days and I have held a 70 for 5 days. I still have bubbles coming thru the airlock after 10 days? Took a gravity...

I usually dont make starters, however I need to make one for this weekend. Can I use dry extract that is about a year old to make the starter? I would never use something that old to make a batch with but for a starter I think I might be ok.

In past batches I have racked a beer off of a yeast cake and pitched a new batch on top of that yeast. In my frementer right now is a Scottish 60 Schilling and I am brewing a Scottish Strong that wil ferment on the yest cake. 60 shilling has been in there for 10 days and finished fermenting a...

Hey guys I have had my last 4 batches all overcarbed some even exploding. I was bottling with 3/4 cup sugar but last time scaled down to 4 oz which is a bit bigger then 1/2 cup and it was still overcarbed. I am pretty good on cleaning so I am looking for where an infection could be. Is this...

Hi guys I have been brewing for a little while and I am going to start using a brew in a bag method to brew some three gallon batches this weekend. I would like to use the three gallon batches to learn to tweak recipes ect. I am not sure if I should buy a three gallon carboy or not. I...

Has any ever tried or does anyone think it would be an ok idea to bottle condition beer in a growler if you dip the top in wax to get a air tight seal? I have a ton of growlers and was just trying to think of something to do with them.

Hi Guys! This is my first post here but I have gotten tons of info from the site so thanks! I made this recipe with help from the dogfish extract barleywine in their extreme beers book. I have brewed 3 all grain beers but still only get a 60% efficiency because I have changed this and that. So...
