I've got a pack of Wyeast Activator liquid yeast with a date of 9/13/10 in the back of my fridge. It has puffed up a bit, but not as big as they usually do when you smack them. I was planning on using it for a brew day on Saturday, but the Mr. Malty calculator says that its only 10% viable...

Thought it would be a cool idea... A little tiresome writing all them out by hand, but I only bottled 15 of this batch. :mug:

Hello. I am putting together a basic, gravity fed, AG setup. I have some old gorilla shelf units and turkey fryer bases that I'm going to use. Vessels will be 2 keggles and one cooler MLT. I already have the cooler converted using a bulkhead kit and stainless braid. I just recently bought...

I recently made my first starter, and I documented and photographed the process I went through. Posted everything up at my blog: http://noisufnoc.com/2010/10/22/making-a-yeast-starter-for-homebrewing/ What do you guys think?

I bought Northern Brewer's Kinderweisse Limited Edition kit. Primary went okay, my OG was a little low. I racked it into my secondary and this morning I was going to rack it into a keg when I noticed this. I realize this is a sour beer, no boil, and it gets its sourness from bacteria...

Hey guys. I'm making the switch to AG on my next brew. I've got my cooler MLT and my keggles all ready. Now I'm looking for recipe suggestions. I've thought about ordering an AG kit from an online vendor, but I thought I might post up and see if anyone has any suggestions. I'm open to most...

So I want to make the jump from Extract to AG Brewing. I went out and bought a Coleman Xtreme 50qt and ordered a bulkhead fitting kit from NB. I just finished installing the fittings and leak testing when I had a thought. this basically puts the end of my braid in such a way that i'll...

So I decided to step up from extract and try AG brewing. For my first batch, I figured it would be easier to just buy a kit from Northern Brewer than try to follow a recipe. However, all that came with the NB kit was the ingredients, and the following information... Mash Schedule 153° F...

I've got a few bucks left over from the holidays so I'm going to dive into an AG setup. I already have one 1/2 barrel keggle that i've been using for extract batches, and I have sourced 2 more kegs locally. Is there a significiant benefit to having 3 Keggles for a AG brewing rig over 2 Keggles...

So I'm getting ready for a small brew day today of two 5 gal extract kits, and I can't find the lid to my brew pot. I'm fearing that it may have been thrown away accidentally on my last larger brew day. Can I brew without the lid? I assume I should be okay...right? Anyone know of an online...

I've done some extract brewing, and I want to start looking into what it would take to move up to AG brewing. My equipment list is as follows. 1 1/2 Barrel Keggle 1 8 Gallon Stock Pot 2 Propane turkey fryer bases w/ tanks 2 6 gallon glass carboys 3 5 gallon glass carboys 1 Bottling...

Just for grins I was thinking of coming up with a home brewery name. Maybe some day in life I could make a real brewery out of it, but right now its just something fun to put on labels for bottles and whatever. At first I thought of using something that goes along with my username on here...

So a buddy of mine's Wife sampled one of the extract brews I made and loved it. She is starting her own catering company, out of her house, and keeps asking me to brew beer to pair with the meals she is going to offer. I like the idea of making a little money for something I enjoy doing, but...

OK. I'm sick of cutting my gas and beer line every time I want to switch from my Corny keg fittings to my Sanke tap. So I stopped by my local HBS and purchased a couple fittings. I bought one of these... http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/tail-piece-1-4-mfl.html ...to replace the...

This is a continuation of my original information gathering thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/fermentation-chamber-size-133701/ For those just joining us, i'm using a Haier HSW02 (1.8 cu. ft.) Compact Refrigerator Details and Product Specifications - Epinions.com and going off of...

I bought an extract kit in the spring and it got too hot here before I had a chance to brew it. How long do you guys think the shelf life of extract and honey that came with it is? It's been in the box it shipped in sitting in one of my kitchen cabinets since it arrived.

Hello. I've been unable to brew in Las Vegas for months now because of the temperature here and have decided to build a fermentation chamber. I have a 1.8 cu. ft. Haier HSW02 Haier HSW02 (1.8 cu. ft.) Compact Refrigerator Details and Product Specifications - Epinions.com that a friend...

So I planted late this season just to grow as a hobby. I wasn't expecting to get a really large output of cones. I planted one in each half barrel pot, with potting soil from the local nursery. I've posted a few times in this section, so some of you may have an idea of what I've done...

I feel silly asking this, but this little guy popped up first in my cascade barrel and I'm not sure if i should pull it or not thoughts?
