SWMBO and I were shopping and she spotted some in the grocery store. She said "Bud Lite Platinum? What's that?" I said "Oh, it's probably just some hip new bottle or someth... oh wait... triple filtered? We better get some of that. Whatever the hell that means, it sounds good." She just laughed...

Thanks a lot, guys. I will be bottling next week. I think it's going to turn out pretty well.

I have a Russian Imperial stout that has been on secondary for about 5 months. I've read a couple of different threads on the subject of adding yeast to the bottling bucket to help carbonate high gravity beers that have been setting in secondary for a while and have found some conflicting...

Wow, Clem. Thank you. We'll hope that it finishes... If not, I shall brew again!

Well, it was one week ago. So, should I wait or go ahead and do it now? If I pitch more sooner rather than later, will that decrease the chance of having off flavors?

I may just be paranoid... But, I've done some reading that I probably should have done before I actually brewed this high gravity beer. I've not really ever made one this big. Anyway, I'm making a Russian Imperial Stout with an OG of 1.086. I pitched a single Wyeast smack pack for my 5 gallon...

Thank you guys. That's very helpful.

I need some help... I activated some yeast in a Wyeast activator pouch and I didn't use it. Is there anyway I can use it 24 or more hours later?
