Ok I have had a couple of Wyeast 2565 packs in the fridge for a couple of months. I decided to use them up. Busted the packs yesterday and not much expansion. Looked at them this afternoon and they where finally expanded fully. Made a starter and tossed them in on a stir plate. Question is...

Just got my new rig from Brewers equipment and am getting my new Keggle MT ready. I want to insulate it with the foil bubble wrap and us foil tape to adhear it to the keggle. As this MT will be temp adjusted with a burner, how far of a gap/bare space should I leave at the bottom of the keggle...

Cleaning out my main fridge and found 2 vials of WL kolsch dated 12/30/09. Do you think I might be able to make a starter and be able to use these or are they just to far gone? I want to make a 11gal batch of kolsch and have a large 3L E flask to make a starter.

Well I have had my dogfish pumpkin clone in the primary for about a week now and I just realized that I forgot to add my spices to the end of the boil. Here is my plan: Put the spices in a shot glass and let them sit in rum for a few hours and then pitch it into the primary for the remainder...

Went to 3 stores so far to find a couple cans of Libby's for my yearly dogfish pumpkin clone and cant find any pumpkin. What gives?

Where can you buy a NPT stone vs. the barbed ones that most HBS sell. I want to make a clean inline aeration unit to go with my chilling station.

Has anyone here made a CFC out of 60ft of coil vs. the standard 25'? If so how much more efficient is it? I am debating just bitting the bullet and buying a therminator or making a monster CFC chiller.

I only have a yeast bank tube or a small jar of washed Wyeast 1056 to start from. How would I make enough to do a 10gal batch with an OG 1.060. I have a stir plate and a 2L E.flask. Is this possible. Starters of this nature are new to me. Thanks. :confused:

anyone know the SG and SRM of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice. Making the Cranberry Wit for my wife out of this months BYO and want to put it through beersmith. Thanks

I am starting a yeast bank and just lack the pressure cooker. However, this is only thing that I would ever use it for. I was looking and ran across this: Do you think something like this would be an alternative?

I see some recipes that call for hops to be added at 0. I understand the 60min boil and so on, but what is the 0min. I go right from boil to the CFC to the fermenter. Thanks in advance and your welcome for a good laugh.

I made 2 batches of apfelwein that are right at 8% ABV per Edwort's recipe. However, my wife doesn't like it so dry and I would like to back sweeten with splenda. How much should I add and how should I prepare it? She likes a sweetness similar to Hornsby's if that is a help. I see the...

Just realized that I made a dogfish clone the other day and forgot to add the spices during the last 15min of the boil. Is it ok to add them to the primary while it is activley fermenting? Will it make much of a difference in flavor or should I just forget them all together?

Anyone know the MoreBeer! Kolsch grain bill? I would like to enter this into beersmith before I brew so I know what my targets should be. Thanks.

I just bought a second set of regulators off ebay that came off a commercial soda system. The problem I have is how do I mate these together. One says Primary with a max psi of 2000 and the other secondary with a max psi of 200. I would assume I would put the primary first coming off the...
