    Shelf life of grains and extract

    I bought a pale ale kit from AHS back in October and I put off brewing it until now because I didn't have time. I know I'll need to get new yeast, but is my malt still good? The extract and the bag of grains have been in my closed brew pot in a cool place since then. Are they still good to brew...

    Beer 3 months in primary?

    I just bottled a Saison that I left in the primary for 10 weeks, and it came out great

    Cool temps stopped saison fermentation

    I had the same problem. I used White Labs WLP565 yeast and pitched over 3 weeks ago. It stopped at 1.021 last week but finally started to ferment again once I put another blanket around it and moved it to a warmer area. I also swirled the yeast a little, and I think that did the trick.

    Stuck Fermentation on Saison

    Yes, I did make a starter. I'll order some yeast nutrient and do what you said. Thanks for your help.

    Stuck Fermentation on Saison

    I've got a mini-mash Saison in my primary right now that's been there for 12 days. The OG was 1.071, and the SG for the past 4 days has been 1.021. The recipe I used says to ferment down to 1.013 FG, but it doesn't seem to be moving. The yeast I used is WLP565 Belgian Saison. It's been...

    White Labs WLP 565 Saison Starter

    I'm brewing my first Saison tomorrow, and I made a starter with this yeast about 72 hours ago. It's the first starter I've made, and it took almost 24 hours for it to show any activity. I used 1 qt of water and 1/2 cup of light DME. The OG of the wort will be around 1.065. Right now it's...

    Greetings from Waco

    Hey Goosta, I'm in Waco too. Just started brewing this summer as well. A friend and I are planning for our third batch to be a Summer Saison Ale, and we've got an IPA in our secondary fermenter right now. I know there's a homebrewing club that meets in Waco, have you gone to any of the meetings yet?

    Another Texan Hooked

    Hi Everyone, A friend and I just started brewing this summer, and I think we're pretty much hooked. We bought a home brew kit from Homebrew HQ in Richardson, and started off with Cooper's Lager. It turned out pretty high in alcohol and slightly astringent, but drinkable. We really had no idea...
