Anyone know a good reference to a complete yeast list?

Can anyone tell me what they find is the most accurate SRM formula? I've been browsing through this link, but so far I haven't been able to find a formula that matches what pro-mash puts out.

I am in the process of building an android brewing app that has a bunch of different calculators and a timer. I am going to be distributing this free to anyone who wants it through the android market as soon as its finished (which is looking to be less than a month right now). I have run into a...

I am in the process of creating a homebrew app for android that is basically going to be a collection of calculators such as Convert Brix to SG, Alcohol % etc. Of course this is going to be a free application available to anyone with an android device. I need some feedback though...what...

Ok so before I get flamed and told what a ***** I am...I HATE MICE! I mean, I hate the little buggers. I think it might have something to do with a phobia that developed when I was kid and was forced to haul mice ridden trash every week to the back alley but that is besides the point. I cannot...

So after setting up my electric HERMS rig I have decided that I prefer to use my propane burner to heat the HERMS coil vessel and keep the mash up to temperature. So far I have been doing it manually, but that requires me to babysit the mash the entire way through and constantly light and adjust...

I normally use a hop spider but i've just recently got an immersion chiller that has a whirlpool arm that I am going to be using for the next brew. When whirlpooling will the pellet hops (if added directly to the wort) fall with the trub and allow me to use my racking cane without constantly...

I am going to be using a WLP007 yeast on 2 separate brews that I plan on brewing back to back. I usually make a 0.25 gallon starter with DME the night before brew day. Instead, can I make my usual starter 3 days before hand, then a day after add another 0.25 gallons of DME, let sit for the...

What gives? I must be using the Promash calculator wrong. I have a brix refractometer and my OG was 12 and FG 6. Promash gives me an ABV of 2.90 and the Onebeer.net calculator gives me an ABV of 5.26. What gives!?!

I just bought a Little Giant 3-MD-MT-HC from plumbersurplus.com and was curious to know how many other homebrewers out there were using these pumps and what their opinions on them were. I know they are perfectly acceptable to use. In fact my homebrew shop recommended them, and i've read through...

I just wanted to put up a warning thread because I wish I had found something like this when I was researching. I had an old Mag 12 pump (also sold as pondmaster by Danner) that I used to use for my aquarium. It works just fine at low temps during my wet test (of course), but as soon as I put...

So I was planning to brew today, but I had some equipment failure and now i've got this yeast starter churning away here. Can I just stick it in the fridge and pitch in a week when I brew again?

Just got my new 10 gallon kettles and this is going to be my first brew. I've got what you might a call a true brew system now using pumps so I don't have to lift and pour any more. I notice that a gallon of water sits at the bottom of the kettle (because it is what's below the ball valve). How...

All i'm waiting on to complete my new brew system is my thermowell from Brewers Hardware. It doesn't look like it's going to be here this weekend and I really want to brew. What can I do to make my love probe (the standard stainless steel option that you can buy along with the controller from...

I know we always try and hit a specific OG, but is there a way to control what the outcome of your SG will be? I know that lower (1.010 and below) is going to make for a dryer beer while slightly higher FG's are going to produce sweeter, more fruity beers. What do you do during the brew process...

Forgive the noob ? but I had an all grain Brown Ale with an OG of 1.040. I let it ferment 2 weeks and then cold crashed in the fridge as I normally do for a week. I did a gravity reading today and i'm getting 1.020. I was going for something a little dryer, not to mention I would prefer the ABV...

Title says it all. I'm a little confused. I just got my love TS2. Do I just shove the wires into the proper terminal on the back and it will hold, or am I supposed to use something else to hold it in there properly?

I have done some research on using hardware store tubing as opposed to the $2 per foot high grade stuff from the LHBS. Lowes states that their Watts vinyl tubing is food grade and Watts states the tubing can accept temps up to 175. I plan on using this tubing at the end of the boil to whirlpool...

I have described the process I am contemplating on building in another thread and have received good feedback, but I wanted to give this process its own thread to hopefully attract some other expert eyes just to help clarify that I am not crazy and this method is actually going to work, and work...

I am thinking about stepping up from my turkey fryer/cooler MLT AG system to a 2 vessel brewing system and wanted some opinions from the experts on whether or not my process will work. My main concern is the way I plan on sparging. My understanding is that this is basically the brutus 20 system...
