I use brewpal on my iphone and it calculates the calories per pint but I haven't exactly tested those numbers.

I posted in the general forum but on second thought this may be the better location. I know this is somewhat of a bizarre question but has anyone ever tried to extract some yeast from an active fermentation to use on another brew? If so, how did you go about it? I have considered using the...

Honey Malt is the way to go for honey flavor in the finished product, but tread lightly as it can get to be too much in a hurry.

I know this is somewhat of a bizarre question but has anyone ever tried to extract some yeast from an active fermentation to use on another brew? If so, how did you go about it? I have considered using the racking cane without the bottom cap on to suck up some of the slurry?!? I have a cider...

No shipping info on mine, I ordered them the day the OP put this up.

Yea, I tried this when Rahr opened up near me in Fort Worth, TX. My offer was not really received well. It may have been bad timing because now they use all sorts of free help and back then they were just getting set up. It could also just have been that I'm a young guy and maybe they didn't...

Its Wyeast Kolsch 2565, the first batch without temp control or starter used White Labs WLP029. Other than that the only difference was an additional 4 oz of honey. The first batch used about 8 oz whereas this new one has 12 oz.

So this last batch is the first time we used a yeast starter and also the first time we have controlled the fermentation temperature. The recipe is a Kolsch repeat so it is interesting to see how the two batches are different so far. The first batch tasted great and was a crowd favorite but...

Not in VT but not far away in New London, NH is a little brewpub we tsumbled upon last Fall named The Flying Goose. Great beers and great food. Surprising quantity of in house brews for the size of the place.

Don't know anything about your recipe but our Ruination clone finished at 1.011 with US-05.

If you are looking for fast brew a Wheat.

I pitched a combo of one tube WLP013 and one smack pack of Wyeast 1968 into a Holiday Ale at OG 1.087 and it was done in 2.5-3 days. No starters. I think some of these British ale strains are bigger beasts than most expect.

I just brewed this with a timeframe similiar to yours. I plan to keg in late November, then carb and serve in December. Batch size 5.2 gallons Boil size 6.5 gallons Boil time 90 minutes Grain weight 16 pounds Efficiency 78% Original gravity 1.087 Final gravity 1.023 (expected) Alcohol...

Slim-Thanks for the advice. That's what my recent research was pointing to...aging at fermentation temps. I'm going to let it sit on the yeast til next week then transfer to better bottle for condtioning. Will cold crash in November and tap shortly after that since carbing to 2.1 or so won't...

This is a pretty big beer beer at 8.5% and with the spices I plan on letting it mellow out from now until then. I tasted it yeasteday when I pulled a sample for the SG reading, while it was tasty it wasn't a very cohesive beer yet. Much like some food dishes (ever tried a stew that didn't stew...
