So I forgot to take into account the volume in the liquid yeast packet and now my starter is literally full to the top of the Erlenmeyer flask. I put two packets of Wyeast 1098 into 2L of starter. What should my next course of action be, if any? Should I take some volume out or just let it...

edit: double post (stupid HBT app)

I'm planning on brewing this on Black Friday with slight modifications (I'll probably just do magnum for all hopping). I'll post an update post brew day Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I feel like it shouldn't be a problem for BIAB. If it works with normal lautering it seems like it should work with a bag. If you don't already, you may want to sparge your BIAB just to make sure you get the sugars out. And use a finer crush. I forgot to ask my LHBS to double crush on my last...

I have the same question as the OP for a session IPA I'm planning on brewing. At what point would the dark grain be added? After the mash? Does it need to be crushed?

So I went ahead and emailed their customer service saying how I love the beer and would be interested in trying to brew it. Well two days later, I...

Just started home brewing in July but have already brewed 8 batches. Went down to grab some Citra IPA bottles from the basement when I noticed something floating on top in the neck of the bottles. Saw that it was in the majority of IPA bottles in some form then saw it was also on some other...

+4 Russian Imperial Stout +5 Edmund Fitzgerald Porter clone = 48,268

Hey everyone I got a quick question about secondary fermentation. So I've got 4 gallons of an RIS sitting in primary for the past 2 weeks (1.093 -> 1.027 in 7 days with S-04). I want to oak and possibly bourbon it. I was thinking I could use my two old 2 gallon plastic bucket fermenters, split...

I'm bottling this weekend and it'll be 3 weeks in primary. Tastes pretty good so far!

45,565 + 5 Gal Pumpkin Ale + 5 Gal Centennial Blonde = 45,575

Brewed this one week ago and followed everything except I used S-04 for the first time. Looks like it's clearing up decently. Went from 1.055 to 1.013 so far. I'm not the biggest fan of pumpkin beers (I'm brewing this for a Thanksgiving party) but I do really like the spices and the amounts of...
