No false bottom or hop blocker required. I am in Cincinnati and would prefer local pickup if it is within reasonable distance (i.e. 5-6 hour radius). Thanks, Steve

When using a sour mash technique, does the beer have to age as long as souring in the secondary? I know with most lambics, the souring is done in the secondary fermentation and best when aged 1+ years. Does this also hold true for sour mashed beers, or can those be consumed much quicker?

So I have yeast starter that I made for a brew last week that I never ended up brewing until today. The starter is now 9 days old. It was a one gallon starter that I made at 1.060. What should I do with the starter? Should I decant the fermented wort off the top, put new wort on top? Can...

I had a hefeweizen that was became unintentionally infected (not positive how it happened, first of many many batches that I have ever had this issue with). However, it is not an unpleasant beer (it tastes a LOT like it was done intentionally, just a different style). To revive it more, I am...

I am under a time crunch on a lager (I know, stupid and my fault), and I started my diacetyl rest (which was just done as a precaution) at a gravity of 1.023. I let it rest 1.5 days, dropped to lagering temps, racked it to the secondary and then took another reading. I am only at 1.020. I...

I have a quick question: on a lager, will racking to a secondary and starting lagering before terminal gravity, but close, say when the beer is at 1.020 but needs to finish at ~1.014, finish fermenting during the lagering stage? Basically, is there any fermentation at all going on during lagering?

I have a question about putting a controller on a fridge with an overhead freezer. Will the controller also keep the overhead freezer at the set thermostat temperature? Thanks, Steve
