I have a Berliner sitting in primary that was fermented with US05 and I bought a tube of Brett Burx to add it. Should I rack it off the 05 yeast cake and then pitch the Brett, or just pitch the Brett now? I'm going to add fruit to this eventually, but I want the Brett to do it's thing first.

Brewed a pumpkin in September and a Winter Warmer in beginning of November. At bottling the Pumpkin had a slight cider taste that I just attributed to being green. 5 weeks later it still has it. The warmer was brewed right after the Pumpkin was bottled and placed in the same fermenter...

My last two batches are drain pours, both have a vinegar smell and taste. Any idea what causes this, is it some type of bug or infection? Both were fermented in the same carboy, which is always washed with oxy free and then sanitized with star san. Bung, hi temp hoses, pump, air locks.....all...

I have recently switched to extended primary and no secondary for my beers but I haven't dry hopped anything since making this move. I've got a batch of rye ipa that is ready to dry hop and I was wondering if there would be any ill effects from throwing the dry hops in the primary for 5-7 days...

I have some rice hulls that were stored in a plastic bag in a cupboard and are about 1.5 years old. I'm brewing my first Hefe tonight, are the rice hulls still ok to use?

I'm planning on brewing a sour and have a few bottles that I want to save the dregs from. How big/much starter should I use just to keep the dregs active? I plan on dumping the dregs into to a mason jar to save and was thinking something along the lines of 1.5oz DME and 2 cups of water. Will...
