Interesting! So, combining some advice on here, I think I'll use one full packet. I've never made a yeast starter/rehydrated the yeast. Could anyone help me with a quick tutorial? Thanks in advance for all the help!

I am brewing a one-gallon, all-grain batch of a Russian Imperial Stout recipe I created with an expected OG of around 1.10. What's my best option for fermentation? Most beers I've brewed so far I've simply pitched half a packet of dry yeast and called it a day. Help, brew-brethren!

Ah of course. Vodka would be much cleaner I suppose. Thanks again!

One more question! Do you think I could soak the nibs in whiskey or is vodka preferable for some reason?

Awesome! I love the idea of a rich, chocolate flavored beer to crack open this fall/winter. Thanks for easing my mind!

Ah I see! Thank you so much for your valuable input. I'll try another batch soon with your technique and see how it turns out!

So you're saying I should add the syrup at flameout AND high krausen or JUST high krausen? And if I'm adding it at high krausen do I simply pour into my fermenter and reattach the cap and airlock? Thanks for your advice!

I shook it, just not before I took the sample for the hydrometer because I wanted to take the reading pre-pitch. Have I erred? :)

1 Gallon batch, used Safale US 05 dry ale yeast simply pitched into the Carboy. It was not oxygenated.

Hey all, just a quick question. I know the maple syrup problem has been fairly well covered here but I have a specific question: I just brewed a porter (one gallon all grain batch) with an estimated OG of 1.061 but which came out at a whopping 1.110. I assume this is simply because of the...
