I have revived yeast about 13 months old. Just give it time and oxygen.

Looking forward to the next group buy! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Home Brew mobile app

I would also like to add that Brewmasters Warehouse, last time I checked a few months ago, will not sell hops in bulk or grain in bulk at a discounted price from their standard price per pound. There are, however, other shops that do sell grain in bulk that is significantly cheaper than buying...

I primary for about 3 or 4 weeks then I cold crash for about 3 to 7 days. After that I bottle and let it condition for a month and then I let my bottles chill in the fridge for at least 2 days. This gives me crystal clear kolsch. But I really only care about clarity if I'm pouring for a friend...

I know this might sound crazy but are you turning the crank in the right direction? I'm a lefty and when I first turned the crank I did it the wrong way and none of the grains crushed. Then I realized I was turning it the opposite direction and switched directions then it crushed like a dream...

That's not true at all if a person drinks moderately or heavily. (2-6 beers a day) Yes there are equipment fees and yes you will have to end up spending at least $150 to really get started. But it is entirely possible to never spend more than say $250 and still make (good) beer.

I wonder if the taste you are getting is peat rather than smoke? I've never had good results with peat malt (I've actually only tasted the malt and it was enough for me not to put it in my Scottish ales or any beer for that matter). On topic though I might blend it with some bud light or buy...

Anyone have any more reviews on this burner? Also, NB is doing a promotion where if you buy $150 bucks or more you get this for free. http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2014/01/northern-brewer-spend-150-get-free-dark.html I just bought a grain mill from them and this came with it. So now I have a...

Hopefully the next order will go smoothly. I bet the kinks were due to it being the holiday season. You can bet that if the second order does get placed I will be getting a growler or two.

wow, nice. Thanks for the info!

I moved myself to the waiting list as well. Come on atlanta people, you can't beat this deal (and if you can share the info!)

The one with the blue and red letters is superior. Great job.

I'm brewing this tomorrow. I had to make a few changes to the hop varieties due to LHBS not having Golding. I went with Bramling Cross and scaled back the bittering hop to .3oz @ 60min to compensate for the 7.4AA of the Bramling Cross. The terrapin website says their IBU's is 35 and with the...

I just added myself to the waiting list. Hopefully the first order will process and we can get that second order soon! I'm very excited to start shopping at Hop City for other specialty grains! Also, I'm not expert on google's spread sheet, but for the waiting list isn't there a way that we can...

So how does that work? Just put them in and run it?

Has anyone else made a 2% or less beer recently? I'm interested in the Belgian style since I prefer that yeast and flavor profile. Has anyone continued to brew their recipe and modified it to make it better?

I bottle so it obviously takes longer than kegging by like you 2 weeks in primary is about the shortest I trust most of my beers.

Nice job using a meme to make a point. It's really effective. It almost contributes to the point of the thread but doesn't since you only came to tell me how I'm being disparaging to the people in the thread. It's too bad it doesn't actually give reasons as to why plastic sucks or doesn't suck.

Hate hate hate. I wonder how many people in the cooking world, home brewing aside, have actually burned their wooden equipment to the point of being unusable vs those who have melted cheap plastic from being next to a flame.

So much hate in this thread. User error or not plastic is just cheap and ugly. Aluminum is a good alternative as is wood and ss. I personally made a mash paddle out of wood and since it's much more dear to me than a cheap o plastic spoon I make sure to take care of it. I mean use what you have...
