I made a starter, ran on the plate, and cold crashed about 3 weeks ago for a brew day. That brew day was cancelled and the crashed starter remains in the fridge today. Can I just decant that starter in the fridge. Make a new starter with my second flask, and pitch the yeast into the new...

So I bought a pack of the new 001 Cal Ale in the new FlexCell Packaging. For those of you who have handled one pack. It is basically two packs. The first layer is the plastic pouch with the artwork and information on it. Then there is a second internal thicker plastic pouch which carries the...

So, noticing a lot of my IPA's are a little light in the loafers on aroma. This after DH in a bag. I actually just use a paint strainer bag (the small 1 gallon ones) Sanitize, knot, then drop in. I like to layer the bags in and do a couple charges of hops but just don't feel the hop love like...

I used 1.7% of Carafa III for coloring in an IPA brewed over the weekend. Will this contribute any weird roasting flavor? Think it may not have been a good idea. What you all think?

OK, so in my brewing infancy I brewed a beer with German Malt (100% Vienna) and English and German Hops with English yeast. There is a story behind it but it came out really good. I am now going to do version 2.0 but changed it a bit. Want to know what you all think. 1.067 SG 69 IBU 13.7...

So, conventional wisdom would be "Fresh beer is better beer" maybe it isn't conventional wisdom and just my impression. But it seems most of my bottled beers (I am still bottling) tends to go from good to GREAT in months of sitting in my beer closet vs once I feel it is carbed enough. I am...

Hey All, I like bouncing around recipe ideas on here. So let me know what you think. Still working through IPA's. My overall impression is to have a bit of malt character with these hops. I have some of these hops in storage so figured might put them together for this brew day. 1.068 SG...

I am sure there is a book I can read to find out all about water. In fact it is probably called Water. Probably written by John Palmer. Anyway, I am trying to just duplicate Tasty's water profile or close to it. I have 12 gallons of distilled water. I have Epson Salt, Canning salt, Baking...

Ok, Long story here but scale was at KILO not OZ. I was talking to the owner and wasn't paying attention. So my 9% IPA became a 11.7%IPA since my 4 pounds of specialty malts became 8.8 pounds just like that. So 22 pounds of grain for a 5.5 gallon batch. As of right now I have decided to just go...

Hey all, 2015 I plan on focusing on all types of IPA's. Really trying to get my system down since we just moved and feel like I need to configure everything again. Plan to brew this all grain batch tomorrow. Tell me what you think, or what you think I should change. Grain: 14...

OK, long story. But my harvested 3rd generation 1056 was ****ed up on accident and I didn't trust it not to be contaminated. So with a brew day tomorrow evening I ended up just buying 2 packs of American Ale 1056 for an IIPA and throwing it in a 2L starter. I did the calculations on how much DME...
