    starter seems like it wants to flocc after step-up??

    This is my first time working with wy1318, and 2nd time doing liquid yeast, so maybe it's normal? The first phase of the starter seemingly went well, was a tad over 1L @ 1.035. Chilled, decanted. I finished my step-up a couple hours ago with about 1.46 L @ 1.030 (i didn't boil off enough buffer...

    Soaking Bourbon Barrel Char chips in a growler?

    If you guys know of a thread talking about this, please direct me, I wasn't able to dig one up, probably because this will be a bit unconventional. I was visiting Willett Distillery and bought a jar of bourbon barrel char chips on a whim for s**ts and giggles. Meanwhile I currently have a...

    Added gypsum to a partial mash porter recipe, and now wondering why. Mistake or no?

    So before you slap me on the wrist, i've already scolded myself for this. I wasn't able to check pH levels in the mash because i either ran out of or misplaced my test strips, so yes, i was flying blind and ran the risk of doing more harm than good. so anyway, the mash: 1.4 quarts water per...

    Any beer-related career ideas for a Mechanical Designer who homebrews?

    Long story short, i've become a bit disenchanted with the company i currently work for, for various reasons i do not wish to get into talking about. I started shopping around for job openings in the mechanical engineering and design discipline (which is what I currently do). Although as a fellow...

    Hop stand in priming sugar water. Thoughts?

    Bear with me fellas...had a crazy idea to use a pseudo-hop tea in lieu of dry hopping (or move some of the dry hop to this step). So prior to bottling the beer, when you get your sugar water boiled up, howzabout tossing in an ounce or so of hop pellets when the temp reaches 160F, and letting...

    Do oils from late hop bursts/whirlpool stands also cling to yeast cells?

    I was pondering on the whole issue with dry hopping in primary, and how the positive effects of dry hopping can be nullified by some of the oils being absorbed into the (suspended) yeast cell walls (i.e. reduced flavor and aroma, compared to what i'll call "perceived potential") I haven't done...

One instance where i kinda/sorta found an answer is here, 2nd question down, maybe you guys will have commentary on it...

    kellerbier - how much yeast to use to ferment?

    Hey guys, recently got the notion to try a kellerbier. Here's where i'm going with the main question...i've 2x 11.5 gram packs of w34/70, almost a year old, refrigerated throughout the duration so i estimate the viability to be around 95ish %. Ive been of the school of thought that considers...

    Fermenting Dampfbier with W-34/70?

    Hey there HBT! after a couple years of simply reading this forum rather than going as far as posting a question, because literally any question I could concoct was somehow magically discussed already, I think I may have finally found a gap (but please do prove me wrong). I've had a couple 11g...
