Please excuse my typo. I did edit that. Back in December 2015 I harvested the yeast. Washed it. Couple days ago I made a w that saved yeast.

Oh thanks. Yea I must have written that it wrong. Half pound over half oz. thanks.

I harvested the yeast from the carboy after racking to the keg.

How should I feed my yeast? Keep adding more wort? This is the only flask I own. Will I be ok to use by Friday?

So I harvested the California ale yeast from my Equinox/mosaic pale back in Dec. I made my starter and noticed it's very heady after I shake it and while it's on the stir plate. Also my stir bar sounds like it spins faster then goes slower. I've adjusted this so many times. Just curious, It's my...

I have checked out Bertus Brewery's blog about Blind Pig v2. I've just seen others use warrior, Apollo, and chinook for bittering. Also the dry hop schedule seems to vary by home Brewer. If Bertus Brewery's Blind Pig clone is the true one, I'll be brewing it this weekend. I have the bulk grains...

Awesome! Happy brewing!

So I just brewed and have fermenting Blind Pig version 1 w oak. I'm just 3 days into fermentation. Now I want to brew Blind Pig version 2 so I can compare the two pigs... I have a recipe but I've seen so many variations of it. It's mainly the hop schedule that throws me off. Here's the...

I never knew you had to rehydrate the nutrient. I just put it right in the boil kettle dry.

The brown was a bit hop forward but that's just how I roll.

So the chinook brown turned out great! Finished at 1.012 6.3abv. Nice roasty chocolate flavor that was well balanced by the chinook. Very drinkable. Just finished drinking it this Sunday brewing a blind pig clone. Here's the beer

For sure thanks guys!

What's this mean? I don't have time to brew another batch. I'm winging it. Is my beer going to have some off flavors?

I used 100% chinook on my recent brown ale and it was great! Dry hopped it too w an oz.

Kinda drank a lot during brew day, I think that was the problem w my measurement..

So today I brewed a blind pig clone. Brew day went well as usual. I over measured on my yeast nutrient. Was supposed to add 1/2 tsp well I added 2 tsp. I'm not too worried about it I just want some insight. Thanks

My chinook brown finished at 1.012. I took the sample and put it in a glass so I could enjoy it and show off the color. The brown ale smelt very malty and like a brown ale should smell. Nothing overpowering. A good balance between the malts and hops. Very low on bitterness to me at least. It...
