    SS Brew Bucket and the Avanti fridge

    For those out there looking for the smallest fermentation fridge that will hold the new SS Brew Bucket, I think I've found it. The Brew Bucket fits (just barely) in the Avanti 2.5-square-foot fridge. You have to cut the shelves out and trim the door foam a bit, but it fits. You also have to use...

    Sour worting problem

    I was starting to wonder if that might be the problem. I had read that some brewers were using this yeast for primary and it seemed like an interesting flavor profile. So, I went for it. I likely will not be going for it again. I swirled the carboy until everything was back in suspension...

    Sour worting problem

    No idea about ph. I don't have a meter. It tasted acidic, but not bracingly so. And it is WLP653. I'm pretty perplexed, too.

    Alternative berliner weisse technique?

    I love a good berliner weisse but I have had a tough time brewing one. There seem to be two popular ways to brew one. The first is to simply brew it as normal but pitch lacto into the fermenter. But this takes months and I already have too many sour ales sitting in a closet and don't really...

    Mystery Hops

    Great. So it is not only not a beer hop, but an invasive species. I will be digging it up today. Thanks for the info. http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/huja1.htm

    Mystery Hops

    My wife, in a moment of thoughtfulness, got me something called "Hops in a Can". I didn't think it would grow, but I threw some water on it anyway. Well, it is now about six-inches-tall and has been transplanted out of the can. The trouble is that I have no idea what hop variety it is. The...
