Does anyone know what is going on with the Pacman yeast? Every shop I look at states currently unavailable. When I follow-up with 1 vendor they indicated that they would not be able to get it again. Thanks

I am trying to get a little wiser on this subject as I have done one partial mash. I have read several posts as well as specific sections in brew books so I understand the function of a mash versus steeping but I dont recall if its better to do them separately or not. For the mash I performed I...

So I was planning on brewing tomorrow but the f*en weather people hosed the forecast and it looks like today is going to be the better day outside. I made my starter Thurs. night and was going to stash it in the fridge tonight to decant tomorrow before pitching. If I brew today I will need to...

Hi all A couple of questions regarding extract brewing: 1) What is the impact if you steep your grains in a full boil volume (5gal) versus using a ratio. In Palmer's book he recommends steeping in a volume that is slightly lower than the grain bill weight so typically its 1.5 - 2gall of...

I brewed an imperial stout on 5/1 and it has been in the primary for 3wks. now. I checked the FG to see if it was ready to bottle and I was surprised to see that the FG was 1.044 - 1.046. The SG was 1.094 which was just about right on for this batch. i used SafBrew S-33 yeast for this batch...

I just brewed my second batch, but first time using the White Labs WLP004. My question is - you just have to shake and add directly to your fermentor? I am coming up on 48hrs this afternoon with no activity and I am trying to figure out if I needed to something for prep or my yeast was...

I dont have/use a secondary fermenter and want to know if it is OK to add flavors (i.e. chocolate, vanilla extract, fruit etc. to the primary after 14 days?? Thanks

I brewed my first batch on Friday - all extract - and these are the following observations I made and was hoping some of you experts out there can tell me if the batch is hosed or not. 1) I had a problem with heat retention. My temp was between 206 - 210. The max. temp I achieved was 210...

According to Palmer's book you can calculate the AAU's by multiplying the % and weight. So my Galena hops are 10.1% and the recipe calls for 6 AAU's. I plan to add .6 oz. When I plugged these values into beer smith it came out at 1.2 AAU. Can someone explain to me the discrepancy?

Just wanted to say Hi as I am new to the board and to home brewing. I have just finished reading some literature and am in the process of creating my batch record for my first adventure. Hopefully in two weeks I will have my ingredients and will be celebrating Independence Day with my first home...
