    culturing yeast question

    I used Wyeast 1318 London Ale III on my last small batch and the temp got up to 74/75 at one point. Probably about 2 days into fermentation on a 2g small batch. I know this is higher temp for this yeast. My question is, If a yeast strain ferments at a higher then "normal" range for the yeast...

    Years for co2

    I have a co2 tank with 05A15 on it. Does that mean I will need to have it re certified next year May 2020? Or is it expired and won’t fill?

    Heating element on for 15sec.

    I accidentally turned my heating element on for about 15sec. Without water/liquid in the kettle. Is it ruined? Has a slight “burnt” Oder mildly but still functions (with water of course). Can I use it with no off flavors? Can I use something like vinegar to clean it to see if the burning smell...

    Can I re-chill keg

    I did a 5g batch, carbed it at 40 degrees for 7 days. Came out decent then I took the keg out of the fridge to clean the fridge and what not and thought I put it back in and didn’t. It’s sat in my garage for 5 days at room temp. Can I still use it and re chill it back in the fridge or will it be...

    Altering flavor after fermentation

    Is there any ways to alter flavors after fermentation has completed? I made a yellow rose clone and fermented at 67 with us-05 and it turned out sort of a sweetness/sort of buttery taste. I did two packets of yeast. It’s not horrible but not something I want to drink 5g worth. Anyway to add...

    Trying to make a “dryer” less sweet brew

    I’ve made a bunch of brews and all have come out with a sweetness to them. Not a bad flavor like corn or anything like that but just a sweet type finish. This weekend I’ll be brewing a smash ipa which I’ll list the recipe below. My question is, I know I can add more buttering hops to possibly...

    Mixing yeast

    Going to be brewing a surley furious IPA which I ordered white labs wlp-0700. I have had issues with pitching and am trying to make sure I get a good fermentation. Can I use the white labs and also safale S04 together?? Or will that alter the beer?

    Looking at new immersion SS chiller. Worth it?

    Currently I have a copper immersion chiller and seems to be ok but am looking at the silver serpent stainless one since the bends over the top of the kettle and the fittings rather than just tuning onto the current copper chiller with clamps which the tubing starts to kink due to heat. Is it...

    Disaster brew day

    I went to brew this weekend and try out my BIAB system. All was going well until it came time to chill the wort and BAM, wort chiller was not where I left it and couldn’t find it. Also had no way to fit the kettle into the sink (too big) with ice. So, the only thing I could come up with was to...
