    WLP565 Insane Fermentation

    Never have I had a beer release so much CO2 during fermentation as I have with this yeast. Must be the pumpkin, but this is just insane. Normally with a blow off tube it's a bubble every two to three seconds, this is just rapid fire. Enjoy. Mega Fermentation

    Mega stuck sparge

    Well it took 25+ brews to happen and when it happened it happened bad. Stuck to the point of not coming back.

    Calculations: Dual Boil Evaporation Rate

    Im currently running a dual boil after I collect my runnings, and I feel like I'm missing my post boil volumes. If my batch is being split to ~3/gals a pot(x2 5gal pots) should I change my evaporation rate to double? Right now in BeerSmith Im set at .5 gal/hr evaporation, but if I'm boiling...

    First crack at beer labels

    This label was rushed into use since I wanted to share my first born with some of my instructors at school before graduation. I got a great response from my instructors which wasnt expected since they are all graphic designers that work in the field. Also a great response as to how delicious the...
