I was talking to a local brewer last night and we were talking about different yeasts. At one point it sounded like they just pitch multiple packs of yeast vs making a starter. For a different beer he mentioned a starter so perhaps only the initial pitch is all fresh packs but i didn't ask about...

Picked up a couple bags of locally malted grains that are individual cultivars. One that i bought was a very light munich that he said was about 5-6L in color. Since this is lighter than most seem to be, should it be a little less intense? I'm trying to plan future brews and figuring out how to...

Any experience with this product? I believe i saw short circuit brewers on YouTube mention them in a video. They have quite a broad flavor spectrum and i think in that video they only needed a few drops for a batch.

If converting a side by side or 2 door fridge freezer combo, can each section be set at different temperatures (assuming you are using an aftermarket temp controller) and if so, any idea on the temperature difference that would be possible? Could the freezer stay as a freezer and then the...

I have a 10gal kettle, when i do a 5 gallon batch i do a full volume mash and it's no problem. A few times I've tried to do a condensed 10 gallon batch by starting with 9 gallons preboil. In order to do that i can't do a full volume mash. A couple questions i have: 1. If i know I'm not going to...

How different does your beer taste when warm if you try it after taking a post fermentation gravity reading compared to once it's bottled and carbed up and chilled? My most recent wheat beer tasted pretty similar at sampling time and after it carbed. I tried my most recent batch was a blonde ale...

If someone is wanting to enter the brewing business do you think there is a minimum number of beers you should have ready to go? I'd think a brewery should have at least 6 main beers they have perfected. Are there certain styles that should be thought of as necessary? One that comes to mind is...

Just got a mill and put a small handful through to test the setting, i think it looks pretty good. The hulls seem to be pretty much intact or split in half and the kernels look to be broken down into decent size bits. If anything i may decrease the gap a hit since I'll be doing biab.

I have a pasta machine on its way that i got for $11. I have these diamond impregnated bits that i can use, would they work for getting enough bite on the rollers? I've read multiple other people using drill bits but I'm not sure what style or type they are using.
