After sitting on the stir plate for 36 hrs I capped the flask for my yeast starter (Wyeast 1056) and put it in the fridge. It's been sitting there now for about 1.5 weeks now. If I decant and warm the yeast to room temp for a few hours, will it still be good to brew with? If so, how long do you...

Yellow my friends. :tank: So I have this German pilsner in my keg that is lagering right now. I plan on serving this at my wedding later this summer, but I am unsure as to the best way to transport it. In the past I transported a keg of pilsner that had been pouring clear at first, but it...

Hello brew folks! The last few IPAs I have brewed have all had the same problem. They seem to taste fine, but there is a strange "off" aroma. This aroma is hard to describe. It is sort of a sweet aroma, that is also somewhat grassy and metallic, maybe a bit fruity (ester). Again, the beer...

So yesterday I was brewing up an IPA. After my conversion was done, I raised the temp of the mash to 168 F by heating it on propane while stirring. Once I was to mash out temp, I did my vorlauf, which reduced the temp a little bit.. Then I started to fly sparge with water that was ~ 180 F...

So I have 2 burners: a BG 10 and a BG 12 (not a 14). I am wondering if there is a way that I can use this dual hose regulator (picture) to hook both of the burners to 1 propane tank. Is there anyone with propane experience that knows if/how I can do this type of setup? Thanks for any advice...

Hello brew folks! So I recently upgraded my mash tun to a 10 gallon stainless pot with a false bottom and bazooka screen (Bayou Classic). I previously was working with a 10 gallon Rubbermaid mash tun, and decided to upgrade because I don't like the idea of plastic. When I did my first...
