Is freezing a possibility?

So what kind of yeast count is in one of these jars??

It only takes one of these for your next batch?? Is this what is called slurry?? How many yeast cells are in one of these jars??

So are you guys spicing this up in the boil pot or are you making a tea before bottling/kegging??

How much Vanilla extract would you use in place of a vanilla bean??

I think that there is a lot of truth to this!! Yep.

OK, so I am getting hangovers really bad, and I am not really even drinking that much. No hard stuff, just beer. What is the best way to avoid this?

The bottom is done as well. Even better. It was actually where I started. I didn't really intend to use the stone stuff on the outside, but I cut a piece for the bottom and it looked pretty cool so I did the rest of it that way. Right now its holding about 40 gallons of beer, but at the end...

No, I have the A/C unit on a temp controller, so when the power is cut to the unit, it has no fans running. I wanted to have air moving around in the chamber and when I am running it at 40 or lower I wanted air to be moving through the cooler coils so that it wouldn't freeze over.

OK, so I live in Arizona and most of the time the temps here are not conducive to beer making. Even inside you cant keep the temps below 75 so I decided to build a lagering/fermentation chamber. I didn't want to spend money on this project so I started collecting scrap lumber to build it with...

What is conditioning? What does that mean?

Yeah, I agree, but I live in Arizona. The coolest place that I have is the house and it runs at best 75 in the summer. I am also storing lots of beer. Too much for a fridge. I cant brew in the summer because being around boiling pots in my 130 degree garage takes the fun out of it fast. But I...

Once I have bottled all this fine beer that I have made, what kind of shelf life does it have being stored at say 75-82 degrees??

Ive dry hopped one time and I got so much stuff floating in my beer that I kind of messed it up. I am going to try again but I am going to rack it on to a grain bag filled with hops. Anyone ever try this?

100 bottles?? That's one batch dude!!

I am going with dumb, but I am still somewhat new to the process. In fact this has to be one of the dumbest things I have seen out there so far...

Is over pitching yeast a bad thing?? What does it do?? What is the cell count of US-05?? Or other dry yeast??

So for the average five gallon batch of Ale you need about 150 billion cells?? Thanks for the help guys. Up until now all I have done is dry pitch. Just starting to branch out a little.

So how much of that "cake" should be pitched into the next batch?

@yukonhijack So what is "washing?" If I am going to use it for the same recipe of beer again cannot I simply pout and store??
