I made an IIPA with a SG of 1070. I used CA V yeast that I washed from a previous brew. When I washed the yeast, I ended up with 6oz mason jars with about half an inch of the stuff on the bottom. I warmed up the mason jars of yeast to room temp, decanted the beer, and pitched into the IIPA...

Ok, I had a thought: I buy a lot of california V ale yeast. I'm making an IPA and a blonde ale -- both call for California V. When one makes a yeast starter, one is feeding the yeast and the yeast are multiplying. Can I use this principle to make my own yeast and never have to buy...

So we all know Irish Stouts are best on nitro, but what else? I was recently in Utah and had an Irish Red on nitro at Squatters brew pub. Wow! I'm curious to see what other beers would be delicious with the super creamed up effect of nitro/beergas. Cheers, -T

I have an English bitter that got stuck. SG: 1035. Currently: 1017 and holding there for 12 days. Used White Labs California Ale yeast. It's in a room that varies between 60-72 degrees. Yesterday, I tried to give it a little shaky whirl. Nothing changed. So, what should I do? Can...

Hey all, exactly 21 days ago I brewed an Amber ale from 6lbs of Alexander's Munich Malt extract, and chocolate malt, british brystal, and crystal grains. It fermented at a changing T from 50-65 degrees (house is cold and draft unfortunately.) 10 days ago the thing had a rank sulfur...
