Hello; I am currently fermenting with WLP 530, but I'm confused about the correct temperature to ferment at. Looking at White Labs the ideal temp is 66-72f Looking at Wyeast the ideal temp is 64-78f I was under the impression that these yeasts are the same. The reason I ask is that...

Hello; So I'm just starting my conversion of a Danby413 fridge, with built in freezer. So far I have managed to remove the door panel, and bend the freezer component down. I have two questions though; 1) Does anyone know if there are any refrigerant lines in the top of the fridge? 2)...

So today I was brewing a very large Belgian style beer, BIAB style. I had ~17lb of grain. This is my 5th batch using BIAB. The first two I got 70% efficiency, and the second two I got 60% efficiency. This time I got a grain mill and ground the grain finer than the previous two times. I...

Hello; I have really been wanting to use WLP023 in a porter, but they keep selling out before I can get any at my local stores, they do however have 1275. I have heard that these are very similar/identical yeasts, but have heard different reviews on them. I have heard nothing but positive...

Hello; So sadly I may have to buy some commercial beer, as my supply line is running very low, so naturally I would like to get some beer in pop top bottles. So my question is; Does anyone know of an affordable beer that comes in a pop top in Ontario? By affordable I mean something around...

Hello; So while brewing yesterday I forgot to account for the volume of the extract. My previous 2 batches I remembered, but this time I forgot. I realized my mistake while adding my wort to the fermenter, as the fermenter become quite a bit more full than usual. I am brewing a Christmas...

So this might be a stupid question. But last Saturday I pre-boiled my water because I was planning on brewing the next day, and put it in my fermenter. Well things did not work out, and I won't be able to brew until tomorrow. Should I re-sanitize the bucket and re-boil water, or should...
