    Pliny the Toddler recipe

    https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/beer-recipe-of-the-week-pliny-the-toddler/ Just curious if anyone out there has brewed this. Thinking about this one for a weekend brew session. I'm just curious as to why it's a 90 minute boil, and could you reduce it to 60?

    My first yeast starter

    Looking for some advice. I did my first starter last night around 10:30, so it will be ready Saturday afternoon. I came home and found it foaming, what you see here in the picture. I followed the directions on the Northern Brewer YouTube page. Is this normal?
