I made a picture-heavy tutorial on how I sour mash with wild lacto from the grain husks: http://www.hazardhomebrewing.org/2013/03/25/how-to-sour-mash/

Yeah, I've got some yeast waiting for these hops and it's pretty frustrating. I contacted LD Carlson to ask them about it and they said it had something to do with a lawsuit?

One bottle of this stuff added to 5 gallons of cider is a delicious cherry cider: http://www.gnc.com/Dynamic-Health-Tart-Cherry-Juice-Concentrate/product.jsp?productId=3993793 It's a little pricey though but the end result is absolutely delicious

I have never done this, so my logic may be flawed here, but if you had a large full tank of CO2 hooked to a smaller empty tank and both valves opened, the pressure would stabilize between the tanks, thus pushing the gas CO2 into the small tank. You wouldnt need to push the liquid CO2, right?

I often times use the (linked above) We Dont Need No Stinking Beer Gun method and have had bottles sit for upwards of 6 months with no issue. These bottles have won medals at homebrew competitions, so there is validation to my claim other than "It tasted fine to me, a complete stranger and...

Thank you to the fine folks at SS Brewtech! Good luck to everyone (and hopefully great luck to me!) :)

1 - If they can hold CO2, they will be fine to push beer around 2 - You can get a high pressure rated line to hook the tanks together to fill the 5 lb tank. Those lines are kinda expensive though. I think you can get one at Kegconnection for $45ish

I rubberband a sanitized paint strainer bag to the end of the tube I am siphoning into the keg with. It will catch a lot of the hop material and prevent clogging.

Yeah, it looks like you have your pre-boil(?) volume in there by mistake.

Ah crap. Sorry, I didnt realize this was on the Komucha forum. lol

Russian Imperial Stout - All-Grain Recipe Kit And thank you to the fine folks at HomebrewSupply :)

Thoughts on using cane (table) sugar in this recipe rather than corn sugar?

A friend of mine did this and the stainless is definitely thick enough without the top to support it.

Everyone should have 5 sample glasses with a labeling system to know which glass is which year. Side by side tastings are awesome
