Ok, thanks. I am making 10 gallons and fermenting 5 with the WLP002 and 5 with the San Diego super WLP090. The San Diego is super fluid and mixed well. As I said first time with the white labs. Thanks for the quick reply! Dean Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hi, I'm about 20 min into my boils and I am worried about my yeast. I have White labs WLP002 English Ale. The yeast has been out of the fridge for 5hrs and is very sludgy! See pic. I shake it hard and it doesn't seem to want to re-suspend. The date on it is July 2014 so should be good. Any...

Hi all, I am planning on brewing a Mac and Jack African amber clone next weekend. I have some bitter orange peel, to add to give it some flavor. Would you recommend adding to the flame out or in the secondary or both. I recently made a vanilla rye IPA and added the vanilla pod to the...

Thanks for all the comments, I find this very interesting that you all have different Brewing styles for Lagers! Of course there is no exact way but I thought I would collect the data to share with everyone. I have created a Google Spreadsheet (Anyone can access and add data) you can find it at...

When I say the faucet won't open. The faucet I have only works if there is liquid pressure on the line

I disconnected the gray disconnect from the gas line and connected the black disconnect to the gas, that's how I got the gas in the liquid out line. When I put gas in the liquid out you hear bubbling as the has is now going down the tube and through the beer. I have checked the in and out are...

Hi, I hope there is someone out there who can help. I have 2 Cory Kegs and I am trying to get beer out. I was able to no problem last week, now it seems no beer is coming out. There is 12 PSI in the Keg and I can vent and repressurise. I connected the Gas line to the Liquid out and gas flows...
