Hey everyone, I am heading to San Antonio this September. Does anyone have any advice for some good brew pubs to visit? What other beer related tourist attractions should I check out while I am in the area?

Hey everyone. I noticed a funny issue with Wyeast 1332 that I have never seen before. I typically use dry yeasts (S04 and US05 are my go-to yeasts for ales and Belle Saison for saisons). I brewed up an APA and used a wyeast 1332 smack pack (no starter). I wanted to do a bit of an experiment...

soooooo, I botched up an all grain Smash Ale today and ended up with a really low OG (1.032). I decided to do a brew with Pale Ale malt (in addition to a pound of toasted pale ale malt). Here is what happened: I got a great deal on the grain but it wasn't crushed. I don't have a grain mill and...

So, like many other newbs on this forum I was a little nervous about using my washed yeast for the first time. About a month ago I washed the yeast out of an American style Ale (thanks Yooper for setting me straight on my style misdirection!). It was originally S-04. Last weekend I decided to...
