    Substitute for Pacman yeast for Dead Guy clone?

    I noticed several of you recommend US05 as a substitute for pacman yeast in Yooper's Dead Guy ale recipe. Wouldn't US04 bring out the malty flavors so much better in this style? What's the implications of choosing US04 in this case?

    S-04 or 05 for Porter?

    Wow, great info here! I've learned more about 04/05 in these few short posts than trying to decipher the manufacturers website. Thanks!

    S-04 or 05 for Porter?

    Do you prefer one over the other? I've heard S-05 referred to as a "workhorse" yeast. My brewing buddy has been using it for nearly everything here recently.

    S-04 or 05 for a Porter?

    Which one and why? The Fermentis site is so frustrating to use when trying to choose between their dry yeasts. Thanks!

    Fermentis Yeast Guidelines?

    I've searched and searched the Fermentis site and have yet to find any sort of specific "Home Brewing Style Guidelines" for their dry yeast strains like Wyeast or White Labs has. The only thing I can find is this: http://www.fermentis.com/brewing/homebrewing/product-range/ It's pretty...

    Palmers Port O' Porter

    Could all the IBU confusion be due to Palmer's late addition method impacting hop utilization?

    Paddle Thermometer?

    I noticed the White House Chef using a commercial "paddle thermometer" in his brew kettle when making up the Obama Honey Ale recipe. These type thermometers run about $10 bucks online. They look pretty sturdy, more than my old probe type thermometer. Anyone have experience using one? Like...

    White house beer

    Anyone else notice the Assistant White House Chef used a "paddle thermometer" in his brew kettle? Now I'm wondering why I waste time with a standard probe type? Paddle thermometers run around $10 online......Prolly work good inside a mash tun too.

    Is John Palmer Wacko?

    "Dude", that's funny........... Yuk, Yuk...... I love Palmer's recipe's. Been working my way through his recipe list and have never been let down.

    Is John Palmer Wacko?

    Yep, you're right! But why does it say "See the New Beta Site" in the banner (with a dead link) ? Just to aggravate the masses?

    Is John Palmer Wacko?

    Yes, 3rd edition book and comparing to his "How to Brew" webpage. Doubt it's a typo since his other recipe discrepancies abound. Funny, if I run the book recipe through BeerSmith it nails the style guideline where the online recipe is way off......... Yes, that's just wacko to me.

    Is John Palmer Wacko?

    Why is there such a big discrepancy in Palmer's all grain recipes between his book and webpage? For example, the porter recipe in his latest edition book mentions using 8.5 lbs of Pale Ale Malt but his online recipe says to use 7.5 lbs. (all other ingredient amounts are the same)? Just...

    First AG, Split Boil, Stove Top, Condo Brew Day!

    Hi, Well I finally did it- an all-grain, split boil, all stove top batch in my condo. It went surprisingly well. Whew!!! I ordered a Nut Brown Ale from Northern Brewers and mashed in my 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler hitting and maintaining the suggested 154 degrees. Then after collecting the...

    All Grain Split Boil Math?

    Well I just ran another test of my kettle boiling 3 gallons of water and ended up losing about 3/4 gallon after a 60 minute boil. Looks like I'll have to swag it to determine my initial volumes for the first split boil AG batch.......****sigh****
