Hello all, I am making an Arrogant Bastard CLone that I got from Austins. It came with 2 viles of White Labs because the starting gravity is high. My question is should I just through both viles into my 1 litre starter or what? I have never used two packages before. Thanks!!!

Hello all I am looking for 2 recipes. First I am looking for a good Helles Bock to brew as I have some of the season Wyeast and thought is might be nice to try. Second I am looking a recipe that I can oak in my new Oak barrel. I like mostly IPA or IIPAs but I am willing to step out of my...

I will take your advice and let you know! Thanks for all the help!

please help brewing in the morning. Thank you all!

ok is it possible to split an Activator pack into 2 starters for 2 batches?

Hello all. I am making a couple of Stone clones tomorrow, 1 is the Russian Imperial Stout and the other is Ruination, however they call for WL002 Yeast and all I have is Wyeast 1056, 1098 and 2112 they are all the large Activator packs. If one is acceptable can I split it into 2 starters because...

I brewed my Oktoberfest in April and just cracked the keg this week and it was perfect. As far as the yeast goes make your starter and pitch the whole thing. I have never decanted. Pitch it. Good Luck!

I thought I would give everyone an update on this lesson. First all 3 were frozen SOLID. 2 where Wyeast IIPA special strains from spring and were Activator packs. The last was a Wyeast 1058 propegator pack. I made a 600ml starter for the 2 Activator packs. Within 24 hours I had a great starter...

I have used mainly Wyeast and I love them. One thing I like is the season special strains they produce. BTW I have it on good authority that the fall collection will have lager strains (non last year). Tom

Ok I have 3 packs of Wyeast that have been frozen. I think it has been like this for a few months. Am I screwed? Or can I thaw them out and will they live? As always hank you! Tom

Quick Update: Where can I get this Campden? I have never heard of it? I removed the beer from primary today and noticed no off smell but I am going to leave it in secondary for a week or so untill I keg it. I'll let everyone know the taste!

I went to 2 Brothers Brewing outside of chicago a couple of months ago and had Hop Juice (IPA) from a cask and it was awesome. I ordered a regular one on tap and they suggested I try a cask pull instead. 4 hours and 90 bucks later I left saying I need one of these!

Your right I called the local hardware store and got silence when I told them what I was looking for. I am placing my order here now! thank you!

Awesome the instructions here are great. Should I be able to find the valve at a local hardware store? I was hoping to b rew today. :-)

Hello all. I have a 4 gallon brew pot that works fine but I want to add a ball valve to it so I can use it to hold sparge water when I do AG. I had one but I thought it was leeching crap so I tossed it. My question is how do I add this valve to the pot? Obviously I need to drill a hole in the...

I had just barely pitched the yeast when this happened so I'll let it go and see what happens. I'll keg it instead of bottling it if it tastes ok after fermentation. But a mojar lesson learned here.

I made a very simple Sammy Summer clone today. All was well until I went to add the yeast. I already had my blow off top on and the other end was immeresed in the bleach water solution. I noticed some od the bleach water solution was about half way up the tube and I wanted it back in blow off...

Ok I need 8lbs of Light Malt Extract. One of my jugs was cracked and all moldy so I tossed it. Now I only have 6lbs of LME, but I do have 6lbs on Amber Malt Extract and 1.5lbs of Extra Light Malt extract. So my question is can I make LME out of this. My partial mash will be ready in about 30...

Ok I just found 13lbs of grain that was for an all grain version of Stone IPA, the problem is that they have been in my garage in a paper bag and sealed in a plastic tote since late Sept or early Oct. They have been milled. Are they still good to use? Thanks. BTW I want to brew with them on...
