I'm doing my first lagger but I feel like I did the d-rest too early. I pitched primary on 3/14 at 52 degrees. I did the rest on 3/19 at 62 degrees and planned to keep it for 2-3 days. However, I've just been reading at HBT that the primary should be around 1.5-2 weeks before d-rest. The...

This is my second time doing a yeast starter. I started this starter last night and stirring it up as often as I can. However, I noticed that the yeast cake is not as thick when I did my first yeast starter weeks ago. I followed the yeast starter guide from an online calculator...

I primed and bottled an IPA on Monday. One bottle I used was a one liter bullet (hard plastic growler) that I got at a brewery. By Thursday, I noticed how hard the bullet was and was worried that it would pop due to the pressure. I decided to put all my beer into the fridge since there was so...
