    One Gallon Starter?

    I'm a little short on time for my planned brew day this Sunday. I'm planning on making a Bo Pils. I need to make a 4L stater. Using WLP802. I have a stir plate and a gallon carboy with a flat bottom. My question.. Instead of stepping up the starter over the next couple of days (running out of...

    Airlock off after primary?

    Went down to transfer my Kolsch this morning and the darn airlock was off. I checked gravity two days ago and it was at 1.006. So I'm assuming it was done fermenting. Should I still be concerned? It was in a closed fermentation fridge.

    Misread water addition

    Amber Ale

    Working on a beer for my wife. She is not a huge fan of hoppy beers, so I thought an amber would serve her well. Thoughts on recipe?

    First go with new induction setup

    Brew day went fairly smooth. New cooler mash tun sprung a leak, not too bad though. Volumes in beersmith weren't correctly set for to "build", so I came up a little short. All in all took about 5 hours start to finish. Pretty much the same as before I moved to the basement. The benefit was that...

    Chapman Thermobarrel

    To frame this discussion I would like to start by saying that I switched to AG about a year ago. Currently I am using a 10 gal gatorade cooler to mash in. Working in a college town I actually found the cooler amongst the trash when the kids disembarked for summer vacation. You'd be amazed by the...
