(This post has been around almost longer than I've been home brewing) I've made yeast starters from dry yeast several times, I've even save a portion of the starter for a future brew day. I can't say how healthy the yeast were but the fermentation were active and the beers were solid (no...

So, in the interest of science, I know this guy that, who also added 1/2 tsp of baking powder to his mash. I will stay in touch with him and report back on how my, I mean his, schwarzbier turns out. He did mention that the post boil sample tasted fine.

I'm in. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

Russian Imperial Stout - All-Grain Recipe Kit

Agreed... So this is an old post, but so am I, so what the hell.... I'm also cheap so when I need a big batch of yeast or will be brewing with in a week or two I make a starter with rehydrated yeast. I'm not a micro biologist but I could not see the issues with making more healthy yeast...

Three tiered oast made from an old box fan, cedar fencing, and 1/4" mesh. Holds over 8 gallons of fresh hos. Third year in use, low Colorado humidity and elevated garage temperatures (South facing) negate a need for adding heat.

Simple oast using old box fan, cedar fencing, and .25 inch mesh. Three layers hold aprox 8 gallons of fresh hops.

Just renewed before the discount was announced - figures. Maybe I'll win....

In to win, or not.

I recently built a "easy clean double pipe" counterflow heat exchanger (ref recent BYO article). One nice thing about the straight copper piping is it's ~1/2 the cost of the copper coil tubing. Recirculating back into the boil kettle, it was able to cool 10 gallons of 205 F wort to 75 F in...

I brewed the Pumpkin Ale recipe from the Scott Jackson's recipe (July/August Zymurgy). Thinking I could throw and extra pound of oats into the grist could hurt, along with a 10 gallon mash tun (~ 1.33 not his "suggested" 1.75 ratio), pump driven direct heat system - I was headed for a train...

I'm getting ready to brew an APA using Summit. Base on what I've been able to glean, Summit is a little bit of a mystery in what you end up with: citrus/tangerine vs garlic/onion. Seems to be a little bit of a pattern on the amount and when: less than an ounce and late. I also read on a post...

I said four, but I have a fifth that isn't installed on my keezer.

I do both. In the primary toward the end of fermentation and transfer to the secondary if I'm double dry hopping.
