Ok so I may have committed a rookie move in adding an oak spiral to my beer. Instead of it going in the carboy I decided after I kegged I wanted to add a spiral. So it's in my keg, but how do I get it out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just used sandiego super yeast and it stalled out on me at 1.02 on an American Amber. Was going to rebrew and was flirting with just using the same yeast, though there is now a lot more. Anyone tried this before.

Getting ready to knock out an alt and typically use wyeast 1007. But thinking about using wlp 833 for a change. Anyone try this? Apparently it's great in a Cali common also so wondering if it would play.

For reasons of availability and convenience I am looking at wlp 036 as a sub for wyeast 1007 as me malty site states them as from the same brewery. However the specs on the associates sites are vastly different. Attenuation for the 1007 shows an average attn of 7-9 points higher and the...

Lovibond around 1.5 to 1.9. Anyone had any experiences or feedback with it. Wondering if it's comparable to American 2 row.

Having a hard time finding any good info on this yeast outside of basic stats. Anyone use it before. Looking for optimal temps and what brewery this might be from.

Making some American style lagers which use rice or corn as adjuncts. Do these contribute any dms potential that would require me to push boil to 90 minutes?

Stat wise what is the difference between an alt and stick alt. Bjcp 2015 has max og at 1.052 and Ibu 50. It mentions sticke alts but doesn't tell you at what point you are crossing over.

I have had some weird issues with beersmith specifically with gravity estimates. Weird in that my preboil gravity is often either 10 points greater than estimated or 6 points under what is estimated with no rhyme or reason. Also on a 60 minute boil it is calculating a 10 point increase in...

I have two top modules. The one I was using for the mash started to do this thing where it would turn on the igniter and light the gas but the igniter would not shut off and the system would then shut off the gas. I hooked the same cables up to the the other mod and no such issues. However...

In researching the me malty sight it shows which breweries yeasts are from many of which are the same. However something is t right there as if you look at temp thresholds of the yeasts many are different. Case in point wlb 028 and wyeast 1728. Both come from mcewans however one wlb does not...

Never seen this before and could use some input. Making a festbier with Mash schedule set for 131 146 158 What's odd is I am getting an expected final og of 1.017. But if I move the beta rest to 147 it drops to 1.010. That seems extreme. Thoughts, input or advice on this would be much...

First time trying a lager and have a question. After I am done the primary I was going to transfer to keg put it on gas and just let it sit for a few months. My question is do I screw it up if I put it on gas right away?

Recent feedback I got on a few beers I sent in to competitions were that they were "grainy". Not sure what that means, what's causing it and how to fix. Any one have any feedback they can provide would be helpful.

Any body ever given this a go? Going to use it for next brew day provided no one has had any disastrous results.

Anybody have experience submitting one of these to a competition? If so what category sub category did you submit it under. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
