    Temperature Reading

    Where does everyone take their temperature readings from when cooling to pitch? I've noticed with my thermometer I can easily find a 10-15 degree difference as I get to pitch temps. So I might get 65 if putting it all the way to the bottom of the kettle, but 80 if leaving it near the top...

    Yeast Bay Amalgamation

    Just ordered this yeast and I've never done a beer with brett. Any recommendations on techniques? Ferment with something neutral first and finish with the brett? Just use the Brett? And if so should I make a starter? Also is there a recipe you'd recommend trying with it? Sent from my iPad...

    Time after starter to brew day?

    Belgian Candy Sugar / Dry Hop

    I'm brewing a gluten free beer with Belgian Candy Sugar. Reading on here I found that it can be better to add these after the rest of the recipe has fermented a bit, letting the yeast do the easy to ferment sugars after the hard sugars. Question is I also plan to dry hop this beer. Is it...

    When to remove hops?

    Just did my first non-kit beer and I thought I had a process figured out by reading in here a bunch, but of course once it starts happening realized I still had questions. Some I figured out, but the one I haven't found an answer to is when do the hops come out? I understand the 60/15/5/0...
