So I've never made a sour so I could really use some help I bought some omega labs sour liquid yeast An have a bunch of light pilsen LME I wanna use up So from my understanding I would bring water to a boil and boil the LME for 30 mins then cool to 95f and pitch the sour yeast let that sit for 2...

Yea now i realize that :( The guy at the home brew store assured me it was enough and I'm still learning so I took his word for it. Kinda upset about it lol So I'm guessing it was pointless to add the flaked wheat?

Used brewers friend to construct my recipe it was a partial mash with 5.5 gallons going in the fermenter and around 70% efficiency Expected OG was 1.075 So the mini mash was 4lbs of flaked wheat and 8oz of 2 row and 8oz of carmel for the conversion That stepped in a BIAB for 30 mins at 155-160...

Looking at the ingredients it just says " yeast packet" I'm assuming I could buy in bulk and copy there recipe and do it cheaper than the kit but can't figure out what yesst strain they use. I was looking at these kits Belgain triple Peanut butter brown ale Orange gose Imperial stout

The local home brew store/ brewery is holding a competition but it's for a trappist beer style only, a blonde , duuble, triple ir quad. I missed the comp for American IPA which I've brewed a number of ipas but never a trappist. Its all for fun and I think the winner gets there beer on the tap...

I thought you only had to add grain if you were trying to extraxt the sugar? I thought they still contributed a creamy mouth feel without grains? Why would you not ferment the extract?

I'm trying to use up some left over ingredients. I have 9.9 lbs of wheat LME 1lb flaked oats And a bunch of cascade hops I was think of adding the flaked oats but not sure how, I don't care about conversion only want the mouth feel. Then I was gonna use all 9.9 lbs of the lme add some...

Be caeful with the flavoring I used there pineapple and it said to add all 4oz ans i added 2 oz and it was really strong. If I was you I'd add it to the wort and sample it theis also lets the flavor mellow out as the beer ferments because I added the pineapple right into the keg and it did...

Its srill technically not beer because it has no hops or grains in it

Then you xan quick carb it too and have it done in a fee hours!:)

They don't wanna seem to grow horizontal

What was wrong with it? I've heard good things maybe he has a defective unit

Yup cause they grew to 5 or 6 ft fast then stopped and now it looks like I wont be getting any hops:(

I'm telling you the robo brew for 300 is a great idea you won't have to buy a wort chiller or a pot to boil in. It'll be tempered control so you're beer will come out better right off the bat.

No you will waste your money. All those kits are is 2x 5 gallon buckets and a siphone and bottle capper. If I were to start over I'd buy a robobrew for 300. Because after you buy the kit and a kettle you might be close to that anyway. Plus this will allow you to do all grain and extract an you...

My hops where growing great but I only had about 5 or 6 ft of vertical space to grow. Now they seem to have stopped growing and I'm not sure what to do, these hops are in there 2nd year.

yes i used brewers friend to come up with everything, I guess I jut expected the local Homebrew store to crush the grains properly
