I want to do an EnergyPA, with 5 hour energy pomegranate. I think the bitter taste of caffeine will add nicely to an IPA, and the pomegranate I can hide with citra hops. How does this recipe look for 3 gallons? DISCLAIMER: I know all about caffeine and alcohol mixing, just looking for advice on...

I have recently taken to sour beers, and am interested in making one of my own! It seems that the best method for my set up is to do a sour mash (adding all the special malt and DME and then adding unmalted 2 row, keep temp around 120 to get the bacteria growing, then boil to kill the...

Read somewhere that yeast nutrient really is just dead yeast, since they feed on themselves. If I'm short on nutrient could I just boil a spoonful or two of dry yeast and add it to my carboy?

I am running low on yeast and wonder if I wash the Cali001 from my jalapeno cream ale if the yeast will make everything I ferment later spicy?
