Air for the first 24 hours, maybe a little shorter, isn't bad for the beer. It's actually good. It helps the yeast. In the first 24 hours, your beer should start to produce some co2, giving the desired barrier. It's never hurt any of my beers any way.

The description may just sound weird or a little complex. But I assure you, it's not.

I did something like this with a smaller 2 gallon bucket on an experimental beer I made a few weeks ago. I put plastic wrap over the top and took a longer bit to use kind of like a rope around to hold the plastic on. (hope that doesn't sound like complete rambling). Remember to sanitize...

It's not a bad idea to try doing a no brett beer then pull off whatever and use that for a Flanders or brett style. It sounds like with having that in the beer it might give it a little less change of infection. I could be wrong though. But on your side, getting whatever one would use for...

@motobrewer - I hope we get to see that up here. It would be nice to try a beer like this before giving it a try. @Ramitt - If you do it, you should let us know. Hearing stuff like this might encourge more people to do it. Maybe get some people to trade or try more new things with brewing...

Sorry, this might not have been the right place to post this. :(

I was wondering if anyone has done/tried doing a solara for beer type thing before or if anyone had any thoughts on this that hasn't done it. Me and my roommate were talking last night about this and decided this is something that we would like to try. Rather then the usual year wait, we...

From what I've read about things like this happening, the yeast could be a little stressed or slowed down in converting sugars. If you are going to bottle condition you may want to add a little more of the same yeast before doing so, but I wouldn't think it would hurt to badly as it takes a...

The room temp was at about 60-65. Me and my roommate have no issues with the cold so no heat is on durning the winter. The wyeast pack was manufatured that month (brewed in late February). But I will continue to watch for older yeasts. Making starter is fun, means brew day is coming. haha...

Thank you ncbrewer.

The temp was kept at around 68. That's what was recommended for the recipe. I do boil it as well. I was thinking maybe from the way the sugar could be reprocessed, maybe?..... My uncle brews too and he said he's ended up with off flavors when using the sugar from this place too. I didn't use...

It had been about 6 months since my last home brew was made so I had taken a little extra care when cleaning and sanitizing everything. It was a little longer of a brew day as it had been a while since my last one. Everything seemed to go well though. Used liquid yeast to pitch, sanitized the...

Hi, started brewing about 2 years ago but didn't do to much of it and about 2 months ago started really getting into it. Started All-grain about a year ago and thinking about going back to extract for a while until I get my process down again.
