Yes. That's just how I was processing them but stretch marks would appear on the first, second or third cycle through the freezer and that is the tell-tale sign that a thinning of the wall has occurred. Subsequent leaking was always the result. I do use a bottle that originally contained...

Yeast has lots of B-Complex vitamins. These vitamins boost the immune system and makes it more difficult for me to catch a cold or develop a URI if I'm exposed to a allergen. HomeBrew! A miracle drug if ever there was one! Lee in Tucson

Are you sure it's dead and not just dormant? There are several factors that will cause dormancy; temperature being one of them. High enough andit will kill them. High alcohol content will too but that doesn't sound like your problem. What kind of yeast did you use? Did you make a starter...

Hey y'all :mug: , I brewed PG Saison back on11/19 and despite it happily gurgling along I racked it over to the secondary on the 24th. There may be a lesson here because since then there has been no visible signs of fermentation. OG was 1.076 and was fermenting in the primary at 70-72 deg...

I built a fermentation chiller for one carboy. Probably pilfered the same plans you did. Works great! I used a muffin fan that I had left over from an old PC power supply. I've fermented in the 68 - 72 * range and one gal of ice lasts about 12 hours on average. The beer requires more...

Jeff was the one that nursed me back from a bad experience with Mr. Beer. I probably did something wrong since I have difficulty following directions. I hear good things about Mr. Beer from others. Nonetheless, Jeff talked me through the process and my first beer was his White Water Wit PG...

Thanks. Yeah, you betcha, http://www.tucsonhomebrewclub.com/ Busy? Yeah, know what you mean. Especially this time of year. They are a real good bunch tho' and guests are always welcome. Since I commute across town it makes it a little easier to drop in. Cheers!

Hey! Glad to have found this forum. Lively, intelligent and many levels of interest. I've got about 3 EX, 4 PG and 1 AG behind me now. No truer words were spoken than when Jeff Haines (Brewer's Connection, Tempe) told me, "The best beer you'll ever drink is the one you made yourself."...

Hey, I was just looking for a Fin du Monde clone and thinking to myself, "Why the heck didn't he include the hops?" And then I found this thread, joined the group and will now attempt to pass myself off as knowlegable. Well, I know what I like, just not much else. I suppose I could get an...
