Hello everyone! I had a dunkelweizen that didn't finish all the way. FG Was 1.020. I was stupid and just went ahead and kegged it, carbed it up at 16 psi, and started drinking, hoping it wouldn't be a sugar bomb. It is. I'd like to fix this. My plan is to take the beer off tap, bleed...

Two nights ago I made a yeast starter with California Ale WLP001 using the same process I always do except...I forgot to sanitize the growler I make all my yeast starters in. I checked on the yeast starter today and was curious as to why it never bubbled vigorously like it usually does. I saw...
