I am already doing a 2 step starter for my lagers. For 10 gallons i do two 2 quart starters at room temp and then second step is at ferm temp. So maybe i will need to add a 3rd step after the prolonged rest period in addition to feeding them a little wort at 2 months. Sooo.. what do you think?

Right. But could i ramp up a starter after 4 months at 33° or do i need to feed them a little wort every month or 2 to keep them alive?

I went to get some younger but the sixtel they had was cashed in about 1 hour and i was late. But i tried a green cheek wires all crossed triple IPA and some other rr offerings instead.

I see. With your process it makes sense to brew to stock up that way. So what would be the issue with storing yeast under a little beer for say 4 months? I'm new to yeast harvesting and was recently able to harvest some san diego super yeast from my blowoff tube. But because I'm rotating through...

Sounds like you are where i hope to be in about a year with my beer except i probably dont have the space to do 13. I will porbably stay topped out at 8. So what kind of kegs are you fermenting in? Also what is your yeast process. Are harvesting from the bottom or splitting your starters?

Sounds like your ferm is going well since you are turning them around in 2 weeks. How long do you lager them post ferm? Im close to tapping my first real lager. A czech pils.

My big 3 are midwest, austin, and morebeer. Some folks dont like northern but it is an option.

Truely, an inspirational image for an i can't wait for spring friday.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will provide for the next genration. Teach a man to brew and he will blast the internet forums until his last breath. Thinking about the economies of scale... it is so very apparent in homebrewing. Literally every micro...

Why is it that I have literally never heard of these hop varietals before? Thank you for the detailed info[emoji482]

Interesting. Have you figured out what brewery the 940 is from? So this lime hop, is it a nobel hop varietal or are you using like citra hops?

I like to keep some dry yeast on hand anyways. It's cheap, stores very well, and is good in a pinch or for bottling older beers. My very first beer was just that. My first beer. There's a big learning curve to overcome initially. Thats why our mantra is don't worry relax have a home brew...

What tips do you have on brewing mexi lagers? I started doing lagers this year and have 2 planned in the coming months. A basic lager that i hope is somewhere near cerveza imperial and a dark vienna style that i hope is near ***** modelo. Both recipes im using omega yeast and including flaked...

Most begining brew kits involve dissolving the liquid malt extract and a mini-mash of "specialty grains" then a boil with hop additions followed by cooling and topping off with sanitize (boiled) water. So no harm in trying it that way.

You can try using a brewing software like BeerSmith to develop and store your recipes. Having a beer in mind will help you with setting up your parameters like gravity, color, and hop ibus. The general theory is that the early hop additions (60minutes) add bitterness and the later hops...

Gotta spend money to save money

My row 2 hill 56 pale is rockin dafuq out on some San Diego super yeast right now. Its got a krausen that consists of all co2 bubbles escaping . It literally is bubbling like a soda with yeast chunks just flying around in there. I had a blowoff that I harvested over a small starter on day 2...

Maybe see if you can get the grain crusher for homebrew and if that will meet her needs.

I forgot to mention buying 5 cornys, adding 2 taps, 2 thermowells, and new 30 lb propane tank.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
