I just started Brew Brothers today and while I can't say it's a GOOD comedy, it's about beer and there are a few laughs. I'd say if you like beer AT ALL you'll probably be interested.

I pitch at 95°F or so and let it naturally fall to whatever it wants to while wrapped in reflectix insulation and a blanket.

WY2565 has a somewhat "vinous" wine-like complexity to its ester profile which I find more pronounced in the higher 60s. That's probably what you're not liking. Personally I love it and I use that yeast a LOT.

The delicious ultra-light AmeriPils-Kolsch I made with precious and sometimes hard to get rice: TIME HAS LOST ALL MEANING!

I used my Google-Fu and found the recipe the OP used. There is an error in that recipe, for sure. There's no way it will finish at the listed 1.007, more like 1.0020-23. If it does end up fermenting out and it's drinkable, congrats on your first beer! If it's too sweet and you want to toss it...

It snowed all day here in Minneapolis, so happy friggin' spring festival!

I recently fermented a 2-bottle batch in an orange juice bottle. Mash and boil were done BIAB-style in an InstantPot. Turned out good enough that I'm going to be scaling it up to 1.25 gallons soon.

Good luck! I think all of those will be totally fine, if a little bit slow to take off. The Hornindal for sure will be fine. I'm most interested in that French Saison.

Even a 1 gallon batch of beer will grow enough yeast for three typical strength batches. Storage of slurry is simple and takes no special equipment. Same with making a starter (using the shaken-not-stirred method.) Aside from the initial cost and a few grams of DME if you need it for a starter...

Hells yes, another +1 for Brewfather.

Brewing very small batches can be fun! It's all about what your time is worth and having fun. You can take any hobby to the extreme from spending 1000s of dollars on automated systems to spending the time to brew exactly two bottles of all-grain experimental beer in your InstantPot.

I went to Target early this morning wearing my face mask (which I ordered on AliExpress as soon as I learned we started getting Covid-19 cases here) and some woman and her guy were looking at me and she said "Maybe we should get face masks too!". I'm like duuuuuuuh, go make one. I know in...

Greetings from Minneapolis! Having both Midwest and NB stores closed has me bummed out too. I need a case of bottles and don't want to pay for shipping :(

Since we have an abundance of rice, I'm running low on base grain and the wife said beer is more important than eating (I love her priorities) I brewed a sort of ultra-light kolsch/pilsner hybrid with the rice and a mix of pilsner and 2-row. Pitched some slurry from the kolsch I bottled last...

I will stop turning on the burner while the reflectix is still on the kettle. I will stop turning on the burner while the reflectix is still on the kettle.

You have nothing to worry about. In fact, many of us are airlock sniffers.

Bottled 25 bottles of kolsch. Wife wakes up from a nap and says "Where's yours?" Sitting here tweaking a recipe for another batch tomorrow. Also, spilled the yeast slurry from the above batch on the kitchen floor. :(

I've been using paint strainer bags for over a year and thought they did well, but it's a night and day difference between a nut milk bag and a paint strainer for only a few dollars more.

For any small batch brewers still struggling with minimizing trub and hops material in their small fermenters, I've recently found large-size reusable fine-mesh (100 micron or so) nut milk bags to be the perfect small-batch wort filter. Just hang it in the opening to your LBMB or Fermonster and...
