I frequent your blog Warthaug. Believe it or not you taught me how to plate yeast. Let me see if I have something to put in your bank so say thank you.

Peering into my garage refrigerator I see lots of yeast. Mason jars, vials, and petri-dishes. Some of I have only used once and will likely never use again. Others are my goto yeasts. I like not having to buy yeast with each batch. I like mixing yeasts to try to coax out characteristics...

hanuswalrus, I was just thinking about a pine-nut brown ale recipe. Can you share your thoughts on this brew?

I recently heard of a butt king wand. You might want to try one of those. Just make sure you get the right size. On a serious note. What about a bottoms up system for home brewers? It could be called bottles up.. https://youtu.be/wnZ08QvOFMc

I would trust both of them. Can you prove that you got these results from the same recipe? Take screen prints and post them that show the difference?

I have used (and reused old) wlp400 before. The yeast never got a substantial krausen. The yeast also seems to start and stop thru the fermentation. Check the gravity on the starter to make sure you aren`t actually fermenting.

If you pitch before you leave then you will have your beer one hour earlier than if you wait. Beside, it could work into the name of you beer. On the road again pale ale or Bum-pity bump bump brown ale

I just drank one of these a few weeks ago. It is a great beer for fall weather. The label says there is Victory malt is used. I also imagine pilsner malt in the base malt. Let us know how it turns out...

Could the taste be from a garden hose that has been sitting outside in the sun prior to filling your kettle? Could you have used bleach of any other detergent in your cleaning process? Let us know what worked for you. Good luck.

Harvesting yeast is fun. It is also practical and empowering. I have harvested successfully with yeast from a Rouge Dead Guy Ale XS, Hoegaarden, and recently with Fin du Monde. The Fin du Monde bottle dregs were stepped up a few times until I had my starters worth plus a little more that...

Same grain bill here. All late hop additions also. I like Summit followed by Cascade. If fact I like it so much I will be brewing it again it two weeks. I ferment with a mix of Thames Valley and WLP011.

Mine was a gift from a LHBS. http://bridgeviewbeerandwine.com/ The gift that keeps on giving.

Hey Brew_G. It looks like a mighty fine beer. The only way to tell if you F'd up is to know the terminal gravity of your wort before bottling ....or to send me a six pack :D. You mention the difficulties in maintaining mash temp, did you perform an iodine test to ensure starch conversion...

HAHAHAHAHAAA! Those poor yeast.

What part is the "sh"? I know what the "art" part is.

You might be on to something b-boy. You could have found the what the "A" means in asexually.

Yes, I am asking the question with the utmost respect to the almighty beer givers!

Lol. I like the way you think...So is it a simple as top fermenting yeast are burpers and bottom fermenting yeast are farters?

What do you think? Is yeast burping or farting during fermentation? Do they even have a hole where they excrete CO2 or does it just pass silently thru the cell wall? If you have a different idea, what is it? For some reason I visualize fat yeast sitting around couch eating sugar make...

Ok, well here is my humble haul. This store is way out in the middle of nowhere. There are plenty of places to get good beer in the area without having to drive out to "the good beer store". That said. The staff was friendly although didn`t really know anything about beer. She helped pack...
