Woah. Thats awesome. I want one of those.

Anyone know of a good free yeast starter calculator that I can access from my iphone? Mr Malty's now links to itunes store to purchase one in app form when I get to it through my phone. I may just bite the bullet and buy it, but wanted to check if anyone knew of any others first. Thanks.

Im working on a fermentation right now that I under-pitched as well due to no starter. Mine never really took off but I kept monitoring and checked after a week. Lo and behold, the gravity was down from 1.090 to 1.030. Last night I roused the yeast by gently rocking the fermenter back and forth...

Im fixing to do the same thing. Read up lots on it and consensus is split many ways. Im gonna just toss them in the secondary after I rack it over. The alcohol present will kill off any undesirables. Ive heard of folks using bourbon or vodka as well.

Yeah. Thanks. Ive noticed that too. Im going to have to do a starter for my next batch.

Thanks for your quick reply. Im hoping you are correct and it turns out well.

Hey guys. Brewed new beer Saturday. A holiday ale with ginger, molasses, pumpkin pie spice. It all smelled delicious but with an almost 20 lb grain bill, its bg. SG was 1.090 and I messed up by not making a starter. I pitched wyeast 1272 and then on sunday realized I underpitched and pitched...

I got a laugh from hearing Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio call Natty Light a craft brew yesterday. Lol.

Just picked up everything and gonna do a chocolate stout tomorrow. My 2nd all grain brew.

Not sure on the medal. Im fairly new myself. Congratulations are in order. Good job.

Durn. Ur right. I stand corrected. Have no idea where that one came from. Yeah. I did cap it and it turned out good. Gonna go pitch that one out now. Thanks for noticing and letting me know. Gonna work on a new batch this weekend. Thinking about a Chocolate Stout.

Thanks. But they were all pop tops. I dont drink beer that comes in screw top bottles if I can help it. Lol.

Thanks guys. Best of luck on your current or future batches. Starting my next one this Friday.

Just trying my first all grain brew. An ESB I borrowed from Brewsmith. Turned out spectacular. Way better than I thought I'd do for my first crack at it. I'd like to take a moment and thank all here for the comments and help I rec'd directly and indirectly from all the posts. Thanks a million.

Thanks for your input. Its a chocolate stout.

Hey guys. Fixing to start my 2nd AG brew and the recipe calls for Northwestern Pale Ale Malt, Great Western (4.1 srm). Thing is, none of my lhbs carry it. Wondering what would be a good substitute? US Pale or UK, or something else entirely. Thanks.

Just bottled my first 5 G Community House ESB 39305

Brewed my first all grain yesterday. Started with an ESB that looked good. All went well except that I ended up with 3.5 G of wort instead of 5. My OG was way high due to this. After researching, I added 1.5 G of water to it when going in the fermenter, hoping I was ok. I was super relieved to...

Im making my first all grain brew going after an ESB this weekend. That and plan on firing the smoker for some stuff as well.
