Never made a starter for Brett before. I'm planning on doing a 100% Brett IPA with the WLP Brett Trois. I was surprised to see how little comes in the package. I have read of folks making a starter up to a week ahead of time for this. What experience/advice can one share for creating a...

Alright...so I'm doing a bit of venting in good nature about a terrible brew day to just make myself feel a bit better. I was brewing a belgian blonde for my buddies bachelor party. I'm a part time pastor so I don't make a ton of money and I keep my house pretty cold this time of...

I'm brewing a Belgian dark strong and am going to be adding some sugar. Originally I was going to add Dememera sugar. Haven't been able to find any at the LHS. Any ideas on substitutions? Also, I've heard of folks adding the sugar to the primary or secondary instead of the boil. What are...

Alright...so the title is a little misleading. I have my five gallons of skeeter pee ready and love drinking it. I wanna mix it with some other things as well. I know this is a pretty popular summer beverage and wanted to see what everyone mixes with their pee? I've been thinking about some...

I was making a yeast starter today...wasn't paying attention and I poured half my vial of white labs into the steaming hot wort. I'm not brewing till thurs so I have time. I was wondering if I could add what's left of the WL to the current starter (the one with the already dead half vial in...

I have a plethora of lemon balm in my garden this year and don't want it to go to waste. I have been thinking of doing a Belgian wit or an APA and include some of this. Ideas?

http://skeeterpee.com/?page_id=17 This is that famous skeeter pee recipe and I want to make sure that the fermentation goes...swimmingly. It calls for a yeast slurry from a wine batch. All I had at the time was a merlot going and didn't want the skeeter pee to turn red/purpleish. I was...

The title says it all...I moved from Atl to Philly and I miss one of my main hometown breweries. Does anyone know where to find a clone of the Festive Ale by Sweetwater Brewery? Much Appreciated, Mac 21

So I have everything I need to build my mash tun except the tubing to connect my false bottom to the valve...do I need to find some high temp tubing for this? The homebrew stores around me don't have any. Thoughts? Thanks, Mac21
