Hello, I've got a beer that I used The Yeast Bay melange blend on. I'm thinking it's time to bottle this one and start a new sour brew. I want to use the melange blend again but am sure the yeast (sacc) is probably in no shape to ferment a new beer. My question to the minds of hbt is, what...

Hello hbt community. My wife and I are taking a trip to TN in the next few days and I'm looking to get some good local beer. Anyone have any suggestions? Alternatively if anyone knows of a semi regional brewery that distributes to the area so I could pick some up. Thanks in advance!

Not much of a post, just wanted to vent a little. I have three kegs that I use, how is it that the two I'm trying to use are both messed up? I've diagnosed both problems but not before going through an entire tank of co2 overnight trying to carb in one keg, then I take a different keg to a...

Hello, I recently found a very old slury of mélange in my fridge. It's really old, like left over from last year. I made a 3/4 or so gallon starter and it's happily fermenting after about a 20 hour lag, much shorter than I expected for such an old slury. I was wondering if the cultures are going...

Hello all, I found a vial of Yeast Bay melange blend in the meat and cheese drawer in the fridge (aka yeast cold storage). The best by date is Nov 20 2015. I was thinking of making a small 3 gallon batch of a simple sour. Thinking all 2 row malt and about 4 ibu of saaz hops. Does anyone think I...

Hello all, I have kind of an interesting question. I recently started plating yeast and the other day I thought I'd try plating some brett from a bottle of Goose island sofie. I have stuff growing on the plate and it doesn't really look like yeast but it also doesn't look like other things I've...

Well after brewing for about 3 years I finally have a batch I will have to dump. Mold has begun growing on the top of my beer. I figure only 1 batch so far is not too bad, still a bummer. I hope this is the last of the mold beer.

Hey all, I am planning on making a trippel and fermenting with wlp 550. I have a vial of yeast bay lochristi blend, and was thinking it might be nice to add this as well. Any thoughts? Good or bad, ideas on when to pitch or anything like that. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, Does anybody know what kind of yeast Surly uses for their Furious beer?

Hello fellow brewers, I just ordered a happy holiday ale kit from Midwest (they had a sweet deal may still, check it out) I was wondering if anyone has ever brewed this kit and if so how long before it was ready? Like if I brew it this weekend will it be done by x-mas time? That's only about six...

I've been growing a starter of bottle dregs from a Duvel. After some reading I'm getting conflicting answers. Does Duvel use a different yeast for bottling?

Hello all I wanted to post for a couple reasons. First, my yeast from a bottle of duvel is growing. Not terribly exciting but its my first attempt so I'm pretty stoked its working. Second, I also have some yeast I'm growing from a bottle of Sierra Nevada snow wit (second attempt) and I was...

I was just thinking about primary fermentation times, seems lots of people are trying for the shortest fermentation time. I was wondering what are the longest times anybody has left a beer in the fermenter, and its still been good? Ya know like oops I forgot about this beer, or some thing along...
