Have you ever thought about making a yeast starter and using liquid yeast. That way you never have to worry about having enough yeast cells.

That should be fine, I do 10 gallon batches with a 55,000 btu burner and it works great.

Does anyone have the recipe for lost coast great white beer?

I brewed this yesterday: I mashed at 152 for an hour, and did a batch sparge. I changed the recipe a little bit. Instead of .5oz. of Kent golding @ 2min, I changed the time to 0 minutes. I also had to switch the golden naked oats for flaked oats because my LHBS discontinued the naked oats. The...

I am looking for a Belgian IPA recipe and I'm having a hard time finding one. Does any body have one, possibly a flying dog clone?

If you look at brewery's like Dog Fish Head, Sam the founder never went school for brewing. He opened his brew pub making his beer on a 10 gallon AG set up. There are many people who have very successful businesses who never go to college. I have a cousin who makes custom kitchens. He started...

I used Santium hops in my pumpkin, they are a spicy hop and it complemented the spices I added very nicely.

One thing I forgot to say, the first pumpkin I made I put 1TBS of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. The clove turned out to be way to strong. The second batch I cut the nutmeg and clove down to 1 tsp and it was just the right amount of spices.

Iv made 2 pumpkins this year, with both of them I put the spices in the boil the last 10 min.

I want to get into all grain, I'v been brewing extract for a little over a year. I was wondering if there are any good books or web sites to read.
