My LHBS just opened recently and only has dry yeasts on the shelves for the moment. I also only have a 5 gallon mash tun, so I was thinking of brewing a smaller batch of imperial stout that I can tuck away in the back of the closet and forget about for a few months. The dry yeast selection is...

Hi all, I've been ready to bottle my first batch for a few days now and have been trying to get my bottles ready. I have a ton of bottles that have soaked in Oxyclean and the labels removed but many of them still have visible yeast residue inside. I've been to every grocery store, hardware...

:D Well, after being interested in the craft beer scene for several years I have finally decided to take the plunge in homebrewing. I have wanted to do it for a long time but I have a tendency to get really interested in a hobby, spend a bunch of money, and then lose interest after a few...
