Ok, I made a 2L starter of 1056. Now if I take the sediment from that 2L starter and add it to a fresh 2L starter, will I get the same amount of yeast as if I had made 1 4L starter? And if train A leaves LA at 11 traveling 55 mph and train b leaves Washington DC at midnight at 75 miles an...

Anyone have any experience in adding bananas to secondary? I mashed with bananas but not much flavor came through. I was also wondering about how to prevent contaminating the beer by adding in fresh fruit. I could buy a bunch of the baby food bananas in the jars and add them as they are...

When I went AG it would take me like 6 hours as I was like a chicken with my head cut off, but after a few brews under my belt, its easy. Today I went to start and set up everything at 12:30, mashed in by 1:15 and by 5 pm, everything was washed, rinsed and put away. The wort was in the fermenter...

Hello all. I brewed my version of banana bread beer today. I mashed 7 lb of bananas and put that into my mash. I was worried as it seemed to get jelly like at the end and I didnt have any rice hulls in it, but I sparged just fine. 5 gallons 6 lb pale malt 3 lb wheat malt 1 lb Biscuit...

Anyone have any experience with polyclar or gelatin?

Ok, I am over a month into my first mead and I already transferred to secondary. I have never used a clarifying agent even in in my beers, but when I tasted this batch, I was amazed at how well it came out. I am thinking of entering it in competition. So my question is what clarifying...

Well, she has given up on the home brewery request after I told her she can take anything she wants in physical property. She asked me why I was smiling more and I told her I was at peace with my decision and I have new found happiness by being able to be myself and not try to please her...

Nothing missing. She was jealous of anything I did that she wasnt a part of. I offered to include her, but she had no desire to brew with me. She is just a very petty woman who wants to hurt me any way she can, and that is by trying to get stuff I enjoy.

No, the dog was her idea and all he does is crap and pee in the house and shed. And about upgrading, well I wont be able to afford to after this mess with child support and everything. She only wants it as she knows it my source of happiness (besides my kids) and it is her duty to suck the...

Ok, after you read this, you'll know why I am leaving her. She is evil. She wants my homebrewery in the divorce. She doesnt brew, hates beer, and claimed my homebrewing hobby as an obsession which drove us to divorce. But she says since the household money paid for it, she is entitled to at...

Remind me not to piss you guys off if you ever become my neighbors! LOL

Ok, what is a toilet reservoir? Is that the toilet tank? Really freak them out, one morning get dressed in a white shirt and black tie then knock on their door and ask if they would like a copy of the "watchtower" and if they have a relationship with Jesus Christ?

Ingredient?

Ok, can you steep crystal 80 and cara-pils? If you can, what is standard steeping, such as temp and time for steeping? Thanks

Yes we are imaginative, but our imaginations are fueled by home brew, not meth induced hallucinations and paranoia As far as imagination, we should create a half hour sit com based on a homebrewer and the crazy, whacky things that happen to him. First episode would be nosy neighbors think he...

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner BTW I have been using more and more of the NZ hops in my beers, they have such awesome flavors, but can be a pain to find at times
