    Let's Talk Efficiency

    Nothing that can kill you can grow in your beer...

    Pathogens are infectious agents that cause disease in the host. Spoilage organisms, on the other hand, cause off-flavors in your beer. Acetobacter is a spoilage organism that will cause your beer to taste like vinegar. If you have acetobacter bacteria on your carboy, and you sanitize...

    No Secondary Fermentation

    I have dry hopped in primary, but have moved to keg hopping. I would probably rack to another carboy to dry nib, just because I think they would sink and get lodged in the trub and not have the desired effect on the beer.

    Forgot to add Chocolate Malt - can I add tomorrow?

    First batch is now labeled... and man, they look GREAT!

    They look great. Love the dragon. How are the labels attached (milk, glue, adhesive)?
