No tracker, and no vials. I was on the second shipment, and paid him over 1 month ago. Initially I worried since he didn't ever have them in hand before soliciting offers, but I didn't sweat it much since he'd apparently organized group buys. I've been unfortunate enough to get burned by a bad...

Looking for a (preferrably) empty Jeroboam bottle. If anyone has one laying around, and they'd like to get rid of it let me know. I'd pay or trade for one. Cheers, Ryan

What temps are you fermenting the bugfarm at? Planning to brew with some soon.

I've moved to dry hopping in the keg with great results. I use a sanitized mesh bag weighted down, and tie dental floss to the bag. I leave the floss extending out of the keg, and pull the hops out when I feel it's time.

I've also been using fine steel wool and hot water for stubborn labels. Works like a charm if you let them soak for 5-10 minutes.

I basically followed Morkin's schedule on my Berliner with a few small variations. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f72/alferman-imperial-berliner-weisse-255777/ The starter was held at 85 for 2 weeks. The pelicle that formed after pitching it was pretty scary looking and the S-05 yeast went...

Hot water and Five Star PBW does the trick for me. Maybe it's just me but it seems to work faster than Oxyclean. A little goes a long way too.

I searched but didn't find anything on creating a label strip to cover the bottle cap. A la Pretty Things (great beers btw). Does anyone do this or have recommendations on a useful template/program/setting to make these? Cheers! http://brooklyngrowler.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/100_1128.jpg

Just kegged an american brown with this yeast. Went from 1.059 to 1.011 in a week at roughly 65 degrees. Let it sit for 2 weeks and the Krausen finally flocc'd out. Spent the last week at about 62 degrees before kegging. Very happy thus far.

If you decide on Charleston, definitely seek out a stop at Coast Brewing. World Class brews coming from them. Along the way I'd recommend Terrapin in Athens, Sweetwater (Atlanta) Jailhouse (Hampton). Terminal Brewhouse in Chattanooga is good. Good People Brewing in Birmingham. Lazy Magnolia in...

Yup. I stopped it so I'd have a bit of sweetness left. The fermentation wasn't vigorous, just slowly worked it's way down.

I just finished fermentation on a cider using Nottingham. OG was 1.065. Pitched a packet and fermented at 63 ambient and it took about 2.5 weeks to get to 1.008. YMMV.
