Does anyone know if I can divide a 500 gram pack of dry yeast into five 100 gram packs, vacuum seal them, and store them in my freezer? A 500 gram pack is the same price as ten 11,5 gram packs, and therefor way more economical...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has mixed two batches of the same type of beer? My problem is that I have a keg that's 25 gallon, and I've filled this with a pale ale that was finnished fermenting and coldcrashed a couple of days ago. Next weekend I need to brew the same beer again (don't ask...

OK, so could you explain to me step by step how to do a perfect light lager? From pitching to diacetyl rest to cold crash to lagering.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and also a rookie brewer. I am attempting a "speed-lager" and I am a little concerned about the temperature control during the ramping up and down. I'm brewing a batch of about 50 gallons. What is the recommended placement of the temperature probe? Tape it to the...
