Happy brewing chums I was curious if it is advisable to harvest yeast twice over - meaning I already harvested it from the first brew I made and will be using it for my second brew - I am not sure if I should attempt to harvest it again; I believe the yeast will have mutated by this point...

Nice find Koed, and thanks all who replied! Ill make the blow-off tube and rest easy. Thanks for the help! Now with all the carboys I'm hoping to find a beer to brew that needs a long fermentation (never done a lager, sour ale, lambic, or other such) so I can have that going while keeping...

This looks too delicious to pass up; and as my neighbor's tree is full of oranges, I am going to give this a shot! All-grain as well They are temple oranges: big, juicy, and sweet, but no matter, going to do it! I was wondering if I should put any oranges in the mash as well as the boil? I...

Hey thanks! I'll work on getting the temperature down and try to forget about it for awhile - it smelled great coming out of the secondary so it should be solid! Thanks for the recipe! -Kurtamous

Just brewed this beer and bottled it two nights ago - now its just the waiting game! Not sure if you will be on here in time Pelikan, but I was curious what temperature did you condition the bottles at? I'm always having to brew at 76-78 Degrees (though I just set up a room with a portable...
