Ha! I definitely am going to miss brewing.

Yes. I'll send you a message.

My girlfriend and I are buying a small townhouse and there will not be enough room for my brewing equipment. I was limited to 10 pics in this post, but I can send pics of individual items if you are interested. Cash only. Buyer must pick up in Queensbury, NY. Items individually priced as...

Didn't see any info on the site or facebook, but I just signed up for the newsletter.

I am in Queensbury and would be interested in an Albany group buy.

I found out that I am getting some gift certificates to midwest for Christmas....so I would like to purchase a Blichmann conical. I have been investigating/researching for a while, but would like some more recent feedback/advice. Would you recommend buying the 7 gallon conical or the 14.5...

Is anyone else having a problem with the mason jar lids rusting after just one use? I boiled mine with the lid on the pot, left the lid on the pot and let them cool over night on the stove. I washed the yeast and stored it in the fridge. I had 2 jars and lids left in the pot for about 24 more...

I think I will take your approach. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Yeah, I stored them in the fridge this am before I left for work. I was surprised to see the amount of trub that had settled out when I returned home. There is obviously still a fair amount of yeast in suspension, so I'm not worried about the quantity of yeast....I'm more concerned about the...

Yeah, I get that....but since it looks like there is a fair amount of trub settled at the bottom, should I wash this yeast again before storing it?

I washed yeast for the first time this morning. I stored it in the fridge all day and now I can see 2 distinct layers. Should I wash it again and maybe turn the four jars into 2 jars of yeast? Or do you think it is fine as is?

My starter ended up just fine. I just panicked a little too quickly. I have always seen a krausen on my starters prior to yesterday, so it freaked me out when I came home to no krausen. I pitched my starter last night and my fermenter was bubbling away this morning.

I was planning to brew an India Brown Ale this evening, so I made a 1.2L starter this morning before I went to work. I used Wyeast 1056. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the pack out of the fridge last night, so I smacked it this morning and added it to my starter before I could see if the pack...

I understand that we boil the water to sanitize as well as remove oxygen to assist in putting the yeast to sleep. However, when you add the cooled water to the carboy and swirl to re-suspend the yeast....doesn't that also aerate the wort/yeast?

What style of beer is it? What was the source of the "raw water?"
