    lager attenuation

    it was extract. my starter was about 1 liter. could have gone bigger I suppose. it's just part of the learning curve I guess. scinerd i'll answer your other questions that I remember. Fermented for 2 weeks. Didn't measure gravity before lagering. I did pitch the starter cold, dumping the...

    basic mead

    I bottled this several months ago after it cleared, put it in the cupboard and basically forgot about it. I just cracked open a bottle and man it is good stuff! It carbed somewhat in the bottle, so next time I'll wait longer to bottle it. A few ounces at a go is plenty for me. I could...

    lager attenuation

    I have attempted a lager batch using san fran lager yeast, a high-temp and tolerant yeast. I used the wet t-shirt method to keep it cool (55 deg or so) during fermenting, and then put it in a 2ndary in the kegerator for a month at 45 deg or so. Final gravity is higher, like 1.018, than any...

    Brewing as a Career

    Actually, the way to make money at this is to set up a 'brewing school' for burnt-out misguided professionals who dream of having their own business, etc. etc. Separate these suckers from some cash in exchange for 'training' that they will need to 'start their own business' or 'enter a new...

    Yeast Washing Illustrated

    mustangj looks like your yeast and trub is not separated out. add some pre-boiled, cooled water. swirl it around and wait. the extra water will help it separate out. it will form three nice layers. crap (trub) on the bottom, white yeast, and beer on the top. discard beer, pour yeast to...

    Mathematical Proof of using a Starter Culture (Heavy Math Stuff)

    I randomly found this thread searching on google for "logistic growth homebrew" I have just recently started a batch with propagated yeast. About the only thing I remember from differential equations in college is the phrase "logistic growth model", which is how organisms will grow...

    first brew w propagated yeast

    I brewed a batch of 'mystery beer' - meaning I used the random hops left over in the freezer from the last several brew sessions. the main ingredients were light liquid and dry malt extract, with some steeping grains beforehand. I used propagated yeast, white labs san fran lager yeast. I...

    funny: home brew shop in SLC with 'missionary discount'

    ah, so it is 'missionary of beer brewing' not 'mormon missionary' that they are referring to. I lived in Utah for a couple years. I assumed SLC plus the word 'missionary' == mormon. Silly me. I had this mental image of mormon missionaries hiding carboys in their apartments...
