Ok. Thanks again. So should I dilute the current project with water or decant and try over with a weaker wort?

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to harvest pacman from 2 different bombers. I used a 1/2c DME with 2c water for the starter. Boosted it once with the same mix. It been over 48 hours and I don't see any yeast. Just the grey-brown trub. There is some krausen-like material floating but it's not too...

Is it beneficial to have a lower OG for a yeast harvest when a small amount of viable yeast is suspected? Or, another way to ask... Is it possible to have an OG that is too high for the yeast to work and multiply?

I went to my LHBS and saw this kit on the shelf for $42. Couldn't resist bringing it home. I brewed on 11/23. Used a big starter.. S-04 >36 hours with two batches of 2c water and 1/2c DME. Added 1 tsp Diammonium Phosphate @ 10 min left. I also added 1/2 cup of Turbinado sugar. Put all the...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice! Finding the freshest ingredients will probably result in me ordering a kit, but that's ok. I want the best product I can make. And yes... Long primary. Will do.

Thanks for the updates! My LHBS carries BB kits and I want to make the tripel. Any suggestions for a complete fermentation? Make a big ol starter? Add the candi sugar after a week in the primary?

Update? What did ya do? How's the batch now?

Sounds like you're gonna have a mighty fine beer on your hands! Cheers

You can take a cinnamon stick (5" crushed), a vanilla bean chopped (or a Tbsp or so of vanilla extract), and some nutmeg and cinnamon (or that spice pack). Soak them in a cup of vodka. Put the mixture in a jar with a lid and let it sit. Add it to your beer the night before bottling day, or at...

Trust me, we were poking fun at dad before Jeff Foxworthy was on stage. Tennesseean, no. Self made Appalachian cowboy, yes.

Dad isms: "jeet chet?" Translation: "did you eat yet?" "Get'chee some." Translation: "have some." "Yunt to?" Translation: "do you want to?"

I ordered two kits from Boomchugalug. Talked to the owner on the phone and he was very helpful. I have read reviews where the customers say he will help create custom recipies for them. They have high abv for their beers and I got the impression that I could talk to him for a long time and learn...

Haha. No I wish it was spring. But for some reason that story popped in muh head and I thought it would be funny to share no matter what season it is!

I wanted to start a Thread reflecting on funny, humbling, outrageous, or bizzare stories I (we) all have from our family or life experiences. Please follow up this post with your own anecdotes!! Ok. So the coming of spring here in WV is marked with the arrival of the red-breasted robin. Longer...
