    First lager - process clarification

    Well I remember, you said your OG Plato was 16, so if you're going by this "rule" of lagering 12 days per 2 degrees Plato would mean 12 x 8 = 96 days so say 3 months. Which is quite a long time to lager now a days. Not saying its not worth it, but that's plenty long, my minimum length for...

    Help! Costly mistake; can I salvage?

    Whoa whoa whoa. Alright. So by looking at your fermentation schedule this was a lager? Correct? I hope so. I see a few mistakes that lead up to this happening, first why so much sanitizer? A few gallons? I work at a 15bbl brewery and even we only use 4 gallons of sanitizer in our blow off...

    How long will warm kegged beer keep ?

    That's weird. The guy who sold it to you doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. Naturally carbonating a beer is done at room temperature, looks at Sierra Nevada, one of the largest most respectable craft brewers out there, they bottle condition their pale ale, and you don't see all...

    Yeast Starter Da funk?

    I would say yeah. What kind of yeast is it (number- wyeast or Wlabs)? When did u harvest and what temp has it been at? Doing a starter would be a good idea. And cleaning the yeast... Dumping that top layer of beer out and putting preboiled water in (like 2 times) and then add a little bit of...

    Yeast Starter Da funk?

    Hey man. So basically a yeast starter is like what was already said- a way to build yeast n culture it- with that said - it's not the only reason to make a starter.. The idea is to make a starter with a little bit of wort- either taken off a previous batch of beer or made in about 20 minutes on...

    URGENT: Need a Porter for Pastor Peter, Post-haste

    I made a really good robust porter a month ago and it turned out really nice.. But a good porter I'd say look into using marris otter as your base- otherwise pale 2 row will work. Throw some Munich, chocolate and pale chocolate malt and I actually think a small small addition of roasted barley...
