Aite so i have a 6 gal gal glass carboy full of *bread yeast* and 7 pounds of Muntons Cedarex A and I soaked some uncracked caramel barley. This brew is brownish black and thick! i tossed about half a can of bread yeast because I'm real poor, but it's only throwin a few bubbles. I've brewed hard juice with this type of yeast before from this can and it was quite tasty and neutral... i put some fuggle pellets in and i put some yellowed branning cross in its got a kinda high note aromatic in it, but i want advice on what dry-hop to use this next week.


i just joined. this is my first batch, but i've gotten a couple kegs at auction - want to take my 15.5 us sankey keg / cut top off, and use as boiler for my 13 gal keg and brew full batches.

Any Sanitary Stainless welders in the DC metro area who work for cheap?

makingitgood, is this you?

Dude..... please take no offense at this whatsoever--

your brewing techniques are circa 1250 BC, at best.

If you want to make a good batch of beer, I highly recommend Papazian's book, the Complete Joy of Homebrewing, or read Palmer's online book.

You've got some work to do. . .
 
Bread yeast is not nearly as high-quality as brewer's yeast, so you're going to get a lot of really weird flavors (sour, acid, general bad) and probably weird scum layers on top of your beer. I'm not exactly sure what kind of beer style you were gunning for, but I guess that doesn't matter too much. My advice--check out a how to brew book, and if money is a problem, just use dry brewer's yeast. It only costs 50 cents a package, and it'll give you a much, much higher-quality beer. If you're careful, you can get good quality beer for not a lot of money.

Hell, Munton's dry yeast costs $1.25 at the LHBS.

Yeah, sure, I could get all the aspergillus, histoplasmosis, and candida to ferment my beers for free here along the Illinois River Valley but I'm sure it wouldn't have a desired "unique" flavor to it.
 
I'm calling shenanigans!!

This is way to big a mix of complete disregard for the process and pushing all the hot buttons. Top that off with some technical terms that the average "Makingitgood" wouldn't know and misusing our jargon and we have someone having a laugh at our expense!

Kinda what I was thinking. Dry yeast is dirt cheap. Unless your too young to buy the stuff. My Apfelwein, Montrachet, yeast was something like 1.50 a pack.
 
Now it's just Elitist FAc as in Fack (aka F**k).... If you put two apostrophe's does that mean it takes the place of Two letters rather than 1 in a conjunction?

I got plenty of bread yeast too, just like I have 4 sister's, doesn't mean i want to use that yeast for brewing... I don't want my bread to taste like fish...

What i don't get is that he's too poor to get good yeast yet he's going to buy Keg's online and use a whole can of yeast, and yet too poor to spend $1 on some cheap safale yeast??? ooook... can we say, in it for the :drunk: factor

Well, he was able to afford some fuggles.... yet he didn't pick up some proper yeast when he was there.

something's not adding up here. . .

I agree he's having a laugh at our expense.
