    Stabilizing beer for shandy

    I recently made 3 gallons of a strong wheat beer to use as a base for a shandy. I plan on racking this to a keg, then topping off with 2 gallons of a homemade lemonade. I used WB-06 yeast, and was kind of hoping to keep it cloudy since I prefer a cloudy wheat. My question is, if I rack...

    Metabisulfite question

    Hello, I'm hoping I didn't screw up here. I just recently bottled a 5 gal batch up. This batch was crashed at 1.010 to leave residual sweetness, and racked onto sorbate/kmeta to keep the fermentation from restarting. After settling and clearing for a little while, I ran through a 5 micron...

    Alternative Yeast Nutrients

    Hello All, Last night I threw together a new batch of my own variation of the No-Age Mead, and have a question about nutrients. I have the "Yeast Nutrient" from LD Carlson, which is basically DAP and Urea. I've been reading up that Urea is not highly suggested for mead, but that was after...
