    High Gravity Fermentation and Adding O2

    Brewed a WeeHeavy yesterday. 1.081SG - added O2 for 90sec. Pitched last night at 60F. 2 packs of WY1728 in a 2L stir plate starter. I had read and was planning on oxygenating again after 24 hours, but in 18 it's already in vigorous active fermentation and the krausen completely inhabits all...

    Am I weird that I find Fly Sparging so much easier than Batch?

    I'm only about 5 or so batches into my new foray into traditional all-grain brewing, but something dawned on my in my last batch - I love fly sparging so much more than batch. Is it just me? Maybe I'm lucky, weird, or doing something wrong (It's likely all three). But batch sparging was just...

    Booo Oxidation

    I bought two sixers from Anderson Valley tonight - Boont Amber and Hop Ottin IPA. I Went with the cans specifically to prevent against oxidation, but it was to no avail. Both these beers are ruined and it makes me sad because I've never had them before and I've heard nothing but good things...

    Wyeast 1084 and Banana Esters

    I brewed my first traditional AG batch last week, an Irish Red Recipe from BCS. I took a hydrometer sample yesterday, and fermentation is fine (It actually fermented out pretty dry because I had issues with low mash temps). But, when I went to taste the sample I was just punched in the face with...
