Harvested this 008 last week. About .5" all around this pint-sized mason jar. Brewing a 1.065 Heady clone tomorrow. Does this look sufficient or should I throw it on the stir plate?? Thanks![/URL][/IMG]

Made a 2L starter of WLP090 on stir plate yesterday morning. Yeast had best by date of Aug. 14. Didn't really see any activity throughout, but ok, that's common. This morning, still nothing. No foam on too. No yeast settled at bottom. Just cloudy. I took a reading: 1.030-1.035; started at...

1st time using fruit... Brewed a choc coffee coconut raspberry stout as valentines gift for swmbo... Racked to secondary onto 3 lbs of rasp purée yesterday... Now there's this on top... Normal fermentation or infection? Thanks!

Any ideas on why this beer tastes so bad? Waaaay too hoppy ( didn't think there was any such thing!?) and had no roast... Just a cascade mess... First time using midnite wheat and blackprintz malts... Maybe lack of carafa made for lack of roast flavor? I've brewed good IPAs and hoppy beers, this...

I brewed a Dead Guy clone recently, using Pacman Yeast w/ a starter... fermented, as per pacman, at 60 degrees. My OG was 1.060; my FG was 1.008....Pacman has an attenuation range of 77%; I did the math and looks like I got 87% attenuation?? How did this happen? All grain, 1 hr mash @ 152

Hi...gettin ready to brew...converting an AG Cascadian Dark to extract. Which DME best in place of Crisp? Thanks

So, yesterday I made a 1 l starter...followed process and sanitizing rules...100 grams DME to 1000 ml water. I cooled to 70 degrees, then gave a shake 1-2 times every hour. Didn't see any activity, no krausen, but I foolishly used a dark brown growler! At 11 pm, still no signs of life. Went to...

Ok, so I've lost a few CO2 tanks in the past couple weeks in my kegerator set up....each time a different cause...usually leaking clamps (gonna switch to those oizikers -spelling?); so until I get my new regulator and clamps, I am keeping tank shut until I want to pull a draft. So here's a...

Hi, all....So I brewed a Hop Sun clone 2 1/2 weeks ago...I used half a 3.3 can of Muntons Wheat LME. I left the remainder opened, in the can, in the fridge. I was thinking of brewing with it this weekend....it will be boiled for 60 min, which should kill botchulism........so...is it still good...

Hi, So I've been searching the forums for recipes for Ithaca's Cascazilla. I'm brewing on Sunday-extract, full boil, 5 gal batch. After comparing all the recipes, know I want to use Chinook and Crystal along with the Cascades. (Ithaca site specifies all three.) How's this look for the hop...

Hi, all... So I've got this 10' x 8' kitchen downstairs that I am converting to a brew storage room. The real brewing takes place right out the door on the patio, so this room is mostly for storage of equipment, bottling/kegging, fermenting, etc. Also, there's a stove for minor boiling/warming...

Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible/advisable to chill 5 gal of wort (2 gal boil; 3 gal cold water) in a chest freezer instead of using an ice bath or immersion chiller.... Thanks!!
