    Harvesting yeast from commercial Weihenstephan Hefeweizen bottle?

    You can get the yeast in dry form from mangrove Jack for fairly cheap. I just made a hefe with it. Lots of clove and banana. I'm so happy with. Very good yeast!

    Pressure lagering

    I just finished a keg of a beer I made with w34/70 in my closet with 20psi of pressure. Took around 5 days to hit fg. Then i cold crashed at 34* and added gelatin and waited a few days. The beer was great. No pronounced yeast character, no sulfur, no esters or off flavors. I would definitely...

    Any mesh basket users ever try lining the sides with stainless sheet to get a malt pipe?

    What's the malt pipe effect? I threw mine away on my robobrew bc it was constantly letting grain through and then clogging up when I raised it up to drain. I use a bag now with a pully. No problems anymore. IMHO I'd never block off the side mesh if I had a system like clawhammer for great that...

    Northern Brewer Support (or lack of)

    I've always had good luck with NB over the years but I can't say I've used them recently. My experienceduring this Covid crisis is as follows. I placed an order with Morebeer!, waited almost a week and still wasn't even picked from the warehouse so I gave up and cancelled. I've ordered 3...

    Chunky Beer, Why???

    Honestly this beer just looks like it's sat too long and got oxidized. I've bought several beers that unfortunately say on shelves too long that werent NEIPA's and they developed these chunky floaters

    Chunky Beer, Why???

    There is a brewery here in Texas called Lone Pint that I feel has achieved something like this. They use one malt and one hop but it has low to no bitterness and a ton of malt and hop flavor. Mouth feel is dead on too. They just call it a smash beer but it tastes like what I think a NEIPA should...

    William's Brew Hop Spider for Keggle & Grainfather

    I was just searching for a hop spider I could use either in my grainfather or in my traditional keggle setup and stumbled upon this thread. This sounds perfect more me and it's cheaper than the other options I was looking at. Awesome!

    SMaSH ale advice needed

    Hi, for my birthday I received that Northern Brewer box of South African hops and I'd like to make a SMaSH ale to test out one of the varieties. I only have three ounces of this N1/69 hop to use and it's listed as 13.4% alpha acid. For malt I have ten pounds of Crisp Marris Otter. Could someone...

    SS Brewbucket Review

    I got a reconditioned pin lock keg for $35. I can ferment under pressure and easily transfer to a serving keg. I use fermcap and make a little under 5 gallons so it doesn't come out the spunding valve or blow off valve depending which is hooked up. I'm okay with only making 4.5-4.75 gallons...

    Bounty on Piton!

    Anyone ever come close cloning this beer? I was recently in St. Lucia and thought this beer was pretty good. It definitely has more flavor than BMC. I'm sad that it is owned by Heinekin and not locally though. It actually did taste fairly similar to Heinekin so that may be where I start my quest...

    Correctly Rehydrating Dry Yeast

    The author commented on another reply that he doesn't use goferm. That part was added in by the editor. I assume for advertisement

    Mosaic S.M.A.S.H. (yellow rose clone)

    Anyone figure out the yeast yet? I'm wondering if it could be bry-97

    Pressurized Closed Loop Corny Keg Fermenting

    I love this idea and am thinking about ordering a few kegs to try it out. I have a few questions I was hoping you could help me with. 1. I saw Brew Hardware has https://www.brewhardware.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TW18-L-14-R&CartID=1 and...

    Noo! I messed up

    Thanks. I'll check it out. Man I just took a sample of the beer to see if I could notice anything​and wow it tastes amazing! Hopefully it stays that way

    Noo! I messed up

    Someone told me once that eventually star-san and iodine solutions will go bad in an airlock but vodka won't, plus if you get a little suck back, it wouldn't hurt the beer. I've been using it ever since but never used a blow off tube while cold crashing before. I wonder is an air lock even...

    Noo! I messed up

    Yeah that's a good idea too to swap to an airlock. I had about 1/3 of a mason jar full. The stuff swirling around in it was milky white. Not exactly sure if it was mold though

    Noo! I messed up

    Well I just brewed my first all-grain 5 gallon batch two weeks ago. Everything went great, even managed to nail my starting gravity. Yesterday I began to cold crash the beer down from 68*. Right now it's around 60*. I came out and opened my freezer to take a look and found the jar full of vodka...

    What? They make Beers sour now?

    I bought this Love Child beer a few weeks ago. Man I can't do it. I kept taking sips because I didn't wanna waste the bottle but man it was sour. I just couldn't get into it. Is there a different sour you guys might recommend to me that would be available in my area? I don't wanna write off all...
