So I forgot to take into account the volume in the liquid yeast packet and now my starter is literally full to the top of the Erlenmeyer flask. I put two packets of Wyeast 1098 into 2L of starter. What should my next course of action be, if any? Should I take some volume out or just let it...

edit: double post (stupid HBT app)

I'm planning on brewing this on Black Friday with slight modifications (I'll probably just do magnum for all hopping). I'll post an update post brew day Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I feel like it shouldn't be a problem for BIAB. If it works with normal lautering it seems like it should work with a bag. If you don't already, you may want to sparge your BIAB just to make sure you get the sugars out. And use a finer crush. I forgot to ask my LHBS to double crush on my last...

I have the same question as the OP for a session IPA I'm planning on brewing. At what point would the dark grain be added? After the mash? Does it need to be crushed?

Hey everyone. I was looking around the internet and never really found a decent clone recipe for Lost Abbey's Serpent's Stout, my favorite of theirs. So I went ahead and emailed their customer service saying how I love the beer and would be interested in trying to brew it. Well two days later, I...

Just started home brewing in July but have already brewed 8 batches. Went down to grab some Citra IPA bottles from the basement when I noticed something floating on top in the neck of the bottles. Saw that it was in the majority of IPA bottles in some form then saw it was also on some other...

+4 Russian Imperial Stout +5 Edmund Fitzgerald Porter clone = 48,268

Hey everyone I got a quick question about secondary fermentation. So I've got 4 gallons of an RIS sitting in primary for the past 2 weeks (1.093 -> 1.027 in 7 days with S-04). I want to oak and possibly bourbon it. I was thinking I could use my two old 2 gallon plastic bucket fermenters, split...

I'm bottling this weekend and it'll be 3 weeks in primary. Tastes pretty good so far!

45,565 + 5 Gal Pumpkin Ale + 5 Gal Centennial Blonde = 45,575

Brewed this one week ago and followed everything except I used S-04 for the first time. Looks like it's clearing up decently. Went from 1.055 to 1.013 so far. I'm not the biggest fan of pumpkin beers (I'm brewing this for a Thanksgiving party) but I do really like the spices and the amounts of...

PM sent about one each better bottle and 5 gal glass

Where in PA? I'm in 19001

Thanks! I've only brewed 5 batches including this but I definitely notice something different about this one. Definitely seems fresher but then again that could be due to being more experienced. I can't imagine waiting for 10 years to do AG brewing. I was waaaay to antsy and impatient to wait...

Here's the recipe since I never posted it: Beginner's Luck IPA (5.5 Gallons) Estimated Efficiency: 70% SRM: 6.9 IBU: 81.5 Est OG: 1.061 Est FG: 1.012 12# 2 Row 0.5# Carapils 0.5# Carastan (30L) 60': 1oz Columbus (16.3%) 15': 0.5oz Columbus (16.3%) 15': 0.5oz Citra (12.5%) 15': 1 whirlfloc...

I had this about a month ago at Monk's in Philly along with a pint of Pliny. I LOVED this beer and wish Green Flash would bring it back as a seasonal if not a regular. I'm a novice home brewer with no experience brewing with rye or making red/amber ales so I would have no idea how to go about...

My first 5 batches ever: +2 Cascade IPA +2 Centennial IPA +2 15 Minute APA +5 Lemon Pepper Saison +5 First all grain IPA = 42912

I'm a novice in home brewing and have never done a SMaSH beer before but a guy at my home brew club brought in a Maris Otter/Nelson Sauvin SMaSH that was fantastic combination!
