    Corn Sugar for starter

    Can I use corn sugar in a pinch to make a starter or should I just pitch the Wyeast Activator pack without a starter. I am making an IPA with a gravity of 1.080ish. I do not have access to DME without driving for 3 hours or ordering. I will now make sure I have plenty of DME around so this...

    I need to Kill

    I am new to the idea of killing yeasties and such(kegging and force carbing). What are the best things for me to start searching/researching?? I've been out of the game for awhile and I have forgot some things. Help!!

    Bad experiences with my kegs - Trying again

    To OP, was it not ready because it was 'green' beer, or not ready because it wasn't carbonated?

    new to kegging; no need for aging after carbing?

    If bottling high SG beers I will let them sit awhile longer in a single carboy to clear as much there instead of my bottles. Yes you will have some settling in a bottle, but the larger the gravity, the longer in carboys. Catch my drift??

    When to Bottle a pLambic

    OK, so now it has been two years, it will be kegged shortly. I want to transfer this, kill the little beasties and back sweeten it. Any suggestions for the racking and killing??? I have Cherry syrup from local company here, since I am close to the Cherry capitol!

    if hosting a party, what beer do usually serve?

    Bell's Best brown ale. It has been a hit every time. :mug: Even the BMC crowd liked it after a couple, they are typically after the buzz anyways, not the flavor.:drunk:
