Yes "1056 American Ale Yeast" is what i used in my Strawberry Blond and i believe it was "1028" i used for the WiezenBock High Gravity. I could be wrong on the second...i really cont remeber with 10 or so summer ales down. :cross: tHE "1028" wAS THE ONE USED TO MAKE THE STARTER THOUGH

copy. i got to make this MF "ten characters"

yeah they are the screw cap ones, thats what i was thinking? someone on here has definately done it though

what do you all pay for your amber growlers? individual? 6? 12? just curious, they seem expensive...However in my mind theres nothing more satisfying than polishing off a growler and a boat load of spicy wings in an hour and a half with four of my best buddies so i was thinking of bottling my...

that would be unfortunate. Thanks for all the responses, and yes they were two differant "strains" and i did end up going to the website and checking and i did use the two in their correct style brews. Once again thanks for the help fellas.:rockin:

i put honey in my wort, thought it may cause problems b/c of the sugar but i wasnt sure, it was in my brew kit though. what do you all think.:confused: my reasoning for this before i get flamed was higher Alcohol content

yeah the directions show this... how long do these typically take to start fermentation (see some action in my airlock) i was reading up to 72 hours is not unheard of... note: i did not make a starter for the one i used which was the one made to be directly pitched, maybe this is what RC...

extremely informative, thanks. Looks like i did it right then. As far as labels on the bags, perhaps, i read them and didnt see anything. The recipes did not have anything on them.

so i was down at my local homebrew supplies store today and got two kits of beer. One was a strawberry blond and the other was a High Gravity WeizenBock wheat ale. I got Wyeast with both of them; however two differant styles of yeast. one was a blue package that claimed to have 25 billion...

:D haha that was a good ab-workout.

I was also curious about this..what water are people using? I read that as long as your household water doesn't taste like chlorine your O.K.

yeah its what i had in my cabinet...i think ill be suing star-san for all my other cleaning purposes in the future, its not rinse right?

yeah i did rinse thouroughlly but i was reading somewhere and it said only use bleach nothing else, this was like cleaner and bleach...thats where this is stemming from

i thought you would want to aerate it more by dumping it in? No?

Yesterday, i went to sanitize my things so I used 5 gallons of water with 2 tablespoons of Clorox "Clean-Up" which states it is cleaner with bleach and that it "disinfects"... so my question is, is this bad? Is it going to ruin my beer or make me sick? I thouroughlly rinsed everything out...

When i was done boiling all my hops were stuck up on the side of the pot from the bubbling...is this bad because they werent at the bottom?

good stuff man thanks.
