Not yet. First episode is planned for the week of Sept 2nd. BrewCraft Nation is the name I'm planning on using. Will post a link when all is up and running.

I'm starting a new podcast on brewing. I've already lined up some Skype interviews with some out of my area pro brewers and in person interviews with more local breweries. I also have some event coverage planned and a science episode covering the inter workings of the olfactory system as...

Agree

I've never used enzymes and mine ferments great. DWRHAHB Just remember to use the enzymes next time to see if you can tell the difference.

How long has it been in primary and what's the abv? I would think the alcohol should be killing the infection if it fermented correctly. If you have visible cultures of bacteria, my guess would be you yeast didn't ferment and there is no alcohol in the beer. Just a guess though.

Should be fine. I wouldn't make it a habit as that extra window of time gives a chance for all the little bugs in your wort to get a jump start on your yeast. But if you sanitized well their cell counts should have been so low even this amount of time is not that big of a deal.

+1 = 876 Left within reach of my 3 year old. I was in the garden and he came to me with tears in his eyes and said, "Daddy, I broke your beer." Think he thought I would be mad. To be honest I was proud he came to me about it. At his age I would have hid it from my father.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the replies.

Fermenter for a mead I just start has a tiny hole near the air lock seal. Sense CO2 is heavier than O2 anyway, shouldn't I be able to leave it as is? Really don't have the money for a new fermenter this week and all my others are full.

Yeah, it's ruff. First time I ever dreaded the second half of a 22 oz bottle. But I still finished it. Should have gotten a metal.

Sorry, just got my first IPhone. Hate those tiny buttons and Auto correct text. Meant to say career.

I agree, but that fear of conflict will just cause even more conflict. If they would have spoken and resolved their differences it would be over with little stress. All they passive mess caused is pointless drama.

Yeah I love the idea of brewing with locally cultured yeast. A guy I meet like 3 months ago said he was going to do that this year, but haven't heard back from him.

Aroma reminded me of something sour. Like unripened apples or juniper berries. Lovely yellow white head and clear amber-orange body. Taste is well...bad. Very bad. It gave me flashbacks to both licking hard plastic toys as a small child and getting grass shoved into my mouth by the town bully as...

Yeast will most like not just be on top of the jar. Can't just scrap off. That being said honey in a fruit ale sounds nice. Black cherry ale mightget changed next time around. =)

I like going in person and taking to the other brewers for advices. Informed and learned owners are the most important thing to me.

Yeah, but if you had an issue wouldn't you at least try and talk to the neighbors about it? I hate that passive aggressive bull sh*t. I would buy him a beginners home brew kit and a big bag of weed and leave a doctors note telling him to take as needed to chill the **** out. You did the right...

If you try and boil honey in the jar it will explode. Your turn the little water in the honey in the jar to water vapor, it will expand and have nowhere to go. Best to pasteurize it as you use it. If you making mead then bring you must up to 145 to 160 F and hold it for the appropriate time. If...

Don't have a recipe, but you could try and make a Braggot. It's like have wine half honey. Also it you pasteurize a couple quarts you could play around with priming with honey? Just ideas to get your juices flowing. Good luck and I hope you have enough free fermenters.

Been reading the forums seance I found them in January, but just recently started post and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Devin, I'm 25, live in Cookeville, TN and while I brewed my first beer over 8 year I just now in the last start brewing year start really picking up the hobby...
