For a stuck fermentation most just pitch a high alcohol tolerant and high attenuating yeast like champagne yeast. You might be able to restart your fermentation with the yeast you are using. The best way is to make a starter and pitch at a time when fermentation in the starter is highest. Also...

I would like to brew light beers. I will try this one again with a bigger starter and colder temps. The weird thing was that I tried this beer through each transfer and never got the off flavors I have now. Is there anyway it could have been caused by the priming sugar? Maybe the pressure got...

I didn't know that the corn would possibly increase diacetyl. So, if I try this again I should do the rest when the yeast are starting to calm down but still active and I should ferment colder? I'd like to master this. It was my first recipe to use maze and my second lager/pilsner. Thanks for...

Made a corona clone recipe from AHS. It had 6lbs base malt and 6lbs of flaked maze. I used the liquid yeast with a 1L starter. Fermented in my kegerator at 60 for a week then moved it to secondary and placed at 70 for two weeks. I then bottled and tried it last night. It wasn't terrible but not...

I will be there. Tim

I could do next week for the meet. Pick a time and place. I'm not sure if Kevin is reading this but I can text him to see what he can do. My hops are all first year. I have cascade, nugget, mount hood, fuggle, and Newport. My yield wasn't as much as I hoped for. I have about two ounces dried. I...

My schedule kinda blows when it comes to weekends. During the week I can usually do something. Thursday andfriday are my days off. If we do something then I will be there.

Metzger22, I'm not sure when my next brew will be. We recently lost two friends do my swmbo and I have been dealing with that lately. Kevin is probably the next one to make a batch. I'll see if he wouldn't mind having a big get together at his place. Where in charleston do you live? I posted...

The bear stood out to me. It's a nice label. You might find it frustrating cutting out that shape when making your labels. That's why most stick to the box shape.

OPM is right. I've used this glue for 3 batches already and I still have half the glue left over. It keeps in the fridge. When you want to reuse it just heat it up in water and its good to go. Just don't boil it. I would imagine boiling would result in ruining the gelatin.

Thanks for this post. It helped a lot. I found that for it to work on my newer macbook pro running photoshop CS5 I had to set photoshop to run in 32bit mode for the picture package to work.

I understand. If you change your mind let me know.

Edit: I wouldn't need the big kettle. Tim

dang, 7.25 hour drive for me. SWMBO even gave the go ahead but its too far for that price. Would you take $1000? If so, I'll come get it this thursday or friday. email me at [email protected] I would love to have this but I know I'm not offering much. Just someone who loves to brew and who...

Just the posts. My kegs are in great shape just not ball lock.

Would you be willing to trade ball lock for pin lock? I have a few kegs I have not converted yet. I believe they are all firestone.

Evan, We chatted in northern Brewer's forum. We will get together an brew sometime. I usually brew on thursday and Fridays since those are my days off right now. I've got 25 gallons fermenting and next week I plan to do my first ten gallon batch. Soon my hops will be ready for harvest and I...
