So your yeast that collects in the bottom of the fermenter can be reused? Is this practice used a lot?

So I did this recipe, and I am ready to send it to the secondary. I got my lagering chamber done and am wanting to lager this, but I used US-05. Will that lager OK or am I just wasting my time?

Drink the ones that you can salvage, and better luck next time.

I am going to try to do a good lager. Have made a lager chamber because I live in Arizona and will need it for the temps. I have never lagered before and I need a pretty good 11 gallon batch to start out with. I like sweeter ales, West Coast IPAs, American Pale Ales, and other beers along that...

I am going to agree that it probably wasn't a infection problem and was probably a carbonation problem. Not that I think that I know anything. Try using corn sugar and use a priming calculator. You will have better luck next time. Did you use tablespoons instead of teaspoons? The amount of...

WTF is that?

I see. Thanks guys!! This recipe is next on my list. Just ordered my grains.

So do you use an airlock during aging?

This recipe calls for four months of aging. What is aging? How is it done in kegs vs bottles? Been brewing for a few months now, and have not yet come across anyone aging their beer.

So if I am after a more full bodied beer, then I would raise the temps?

Im still a little new to this. Isnt 150 a little cool to mash at? Why the lower temp??

My bad. Yep, it didn't come up in the search. I never looked under fermentis.

YES!!! On hops of all things!!!

Here is the problem I ran into in buying grains in bulk. I can buy them cheaper by the 10lb bag and have them milled at morebeer.com, and then get free shipping than I can buying a 50lb bag of un-milled with shipping added. Also, the list was compiled with a set number of items to make it the...

That's fine. But as a newbie shopping websites today with a set number of items, this is what I found.

I asked once or twice what where the best websites to order supplies from, and I got mostly answers based on personal preference, so I did a little research and I compiled a list of supplies to use and I priced several sites. These are the results. With the exception of Monsterbrew which didn't...

But do you just boil off your excess water, or do you have a calculated amount before you start?

So how does this sparge work? I am doing fly sparge but my numbers are not very good. Do you just keep running water through the grain until it is completely clear and then boil off the excess water? I used a set amount and I don't think I got much of the sugars out of the grain as I could have.

Yes it was a partial boil. 2-2.5 gallon and then added in water to make up for the rest at the end. Now doing all grain. From what I am learning here its like an putting an apple up to an orange. I have figured out that I didn't learn much extract brewing, and if anything it kind of set me back.
