I wasn't serious, but thanks. I hadn't heard about that brand. What I love about HBT is that I learn something new every day. Prost!

I use a Mr. Beer SBK for small/test batches of brew and ciders. Any chance it would have the same aversion to Star San? Hope I didn't just ruin that thing :off:

Size doesn't matter. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

1989. I miss my Taco Bell call cap.

Best thread ever.

+1 That would be my recommendation. Recipe here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/fizzy-yellow-beer-120939/

Thanks Yooper!

+ 2.5 g methaweizen + 2.5 g Scottish heather ale _____________________________ 1745

5 gals of Kiltlifter clone and 2.5 gallons of Methaweizen (because of what it looks like, not what's in it)

It only does stouts?

Please let us know how it turns out.

Going forward, Brew a six gallon batch. Keg the first 5 as is and bottle the last gallon with a bit of cold press coffee in the mix. For the keg you have, brew a coffee "tea"/extract with vodka in a mason jar and put a few drops in her glass before filling.

I think you are 2-3 days away, at least. If you have to bottle at 1.040, try to add some yeast nutrient (or make your own: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f32/sulfur-smell-379044/) and it should clear up in 3-4 days. I'd rather drop a few fg points than risk bottling rhino farts. I bottle my...

If making a GoT brew, why not necromancy? The dead rise all the time on that show. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Wights Also, why not a Gruit? For all we know, they don't have hops in Westeros. Greyjoy's Gruit would be just the ticket. Of course, it's expensive: you must pay the...

Let it ride. It isn't close to done yet. While you're waiting (and hopefully RDWHAHB) read this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f32/my-cider-smells-like-rotten-eggs-312099/

I pick up the off-brand oxyclean free substitute from the dollar store. I forget how much it costs, but it's cheaper than the big box stores. Plus the Dollar Store is closer to my house than Walmart or Target.

I think you will be OK. There are threads upon threads regarding stirring or not stirring yeast. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/stir-yeast-59522/ I've gone both ways (hey now!) and gotten good beer either way. There are also threads upon threads regarding rehydrating or dry pitching...
