I pitched this yeast at 75F, but the wort dropped down to 43, it's now at a steady 50. Should I make a starter and pitch? again raise the temp of the wort or am I just boned?

I picked up a fermawrap thinking I could ferment lager's outside in my shed. Temps are so cold here right now I can't get the carboy up past 42F. I wrapped the carboy in a towel for now, has anyone tried this and if so what did you cover the carboy with to keep/get that temp higher? I recently...

Brewed a batch of AHS sam summer clone. My Refractometer was saying 1.022-25 after two weeks, waited another week and still the same. I thought damn it stalled before it was finished, I checked it with my Hydrometer today and it was right where it was supposed to be 1.012-15. WTF? I went back...

Anyone know the artist who made the back ground on this label? I think it's an engraving and I can't find it anywhere.

Last fall I picked up a few gallon of fresh pressed cider. I left the jugs out too long and they started to ferment. A few people here said I should throw an air lock on each jug and see what I get. What I did was throw all five gallons into a better bottle. I forgot about it until today when...

I was looking at this disclaimer on the AHS website today when looking at honey: I don't think I have received anything from AHS from anything other then UPS. Just thought this disclaimer was interesting, maybe a by product of 911? Did they use USPS back in the day? And was it cheaper...
