    how many times can yeast be re-built into another starter

    So, lets say I have a yeast that's hard to find, and I want to continue to use it for many batches down the line, but know I won't be able to get it at the homebrew store again any time soon, if ever. Say I also want to build it up to pull X amount out to share with friends to use. Starting...

    Help! heavy banana and clove bready AF hefeweizen

    Thanks for the link, that was a good read that gave some distinction between the two flavors that might lead me in the right direction. I'll have to try doing it both ways to see what exactly it is that i'm after. Interesting that one calls for under-pitching. That's the first i've heard of...

    Help! heavy banana and clove bready AF hefeweizen

    Sitting out on my deck smokin a fat ass cigar with a nice glass of whiskey to join it, I've decided to reach out to the interwebs for help with a recipe that has frustrated me beyond belief. For years, I've been trying to recreate something similar to Paulaner Hefeweizen or something along...

    preparing to make a coconut curry hefeweizein

    So I’ve got it kegged up and carbonated, and pulled a few beers. After that... I’ve been letting it sit hoping that any sediment will sink and push out when I pull a couple more to dump. The flavor of the fenugreek is overpowering. If anyone finds this thread and is thinking of making it, I’d...

    preparing to make a coconut curry hefeweizein

    Brewed it up tonight and is currently being chilled. Gotta say, when I dumped the curry leaves and fenugreek in at :30, the smell scared me. But after cooking down and adding in the rest, it smells amazing. I’m excited to get it fermented and kegged! Weihenstephan wheat (wyeast 3068) should...

    preparing to make a coconut curry hefeweizein

    I've tried just about every hefeweizen yeast variant on the market and nothing seemed to get me where I wanted to go until I tried the wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan wheat to be honest, I have no idea what curry tastes like, or what it even is. I'll definitely be tasting it before blindly...

    preparing to make a coconut curry hefeweizein

    Some years ago I had a beer from New Belgium brewing called coconut curry hefeweizen in a bomber bottle. Absolutely loved it. Discovered one of my local bars had it on tap for a tap take over night, but never finished it. I asked them to re-tap it, and I sat there belly up at the bar and...

    (unrelated) Ha, I just realized your username Yooper. I spent a couple weekends this last summer visiting the UP. Mostly in Ironwood, but explored copper harbor (and their cool little brewery) and the porcupine mts. Great area in the summer, but it sounds like your winters are worse than...

    How-to's, tips, hints. give me your knowledge

    I've been brewing beer for a few years now, and have gotten that down fairly well. Last year I made a wine kit for my mother, a petite sirah, and after aging in the bottle for about 6 months, we've cracked a couple bottles to give it a shot. Disclaimer: I don't know **** about wine, my...

    Finally, no more bottling!!! I've been saving up for a while to buy all the necessary equipment to do kegging to save myself the madness of bottling. I ordered a 7cf chest freezer from menards that should be here sometime this week. I bought a dual ball lock keg set with a dual pressure...

    making a petite sirah for my mother

    I'm not. I've only gone local with midwest supplies and northern brewer, both being fairly close to where I live in Minnesota. I had done a quick google search on petite sirah kits and the williams happens to be the only one that i clicked on to look closer at. the bogle site mentions...
