    Clean, Fast Ale Yeast?

    Lutra Kveik. Very aggressive. In my Brewpub I am 5 days from brew day to kegging. Clean finish and had no problem with higher temps.

    Would it be Easier for me to 'Go Pro' than someone with a restaurant background?

    If you like brewing stay a home brewer. There is a plethora of things that become just as important if not more important then the product you manufacture.

    I've gone pro!

    I pretty much said good bye to all my home brewing when I opened up my Brewpub in Missouri. I still help my home brewing friends repair and troubleshoot. But all my brewing time and energy go into the business.

    Most places don't fill the tank, they swap it out for a full one.

    Why do people Quit brewing?

    It's been my experience people quit brewing for a few different reasons: - They don't do it long enough to get good at it and get discouraged by their results - They started doing it to save money on beer but we all know it really isn't that much cheaper then buying beer - They are the type of...

    Adding priming sugar to the boil

    I do it all the time. I think the math is 1lb of corn sugar will ferment out to 1% ABV. None of my customres at the Brewpub have noticed or said anything about the beers I've done it to being any dryer. I've never added more then a pound on a ten gallon batch.

    Commercial 5 gallon keg and foaming

    99.9% of the time foamy pours are a temperature issue. Blue Moon is a Coors product. Coors Products like to be kept at 34-36 degrees.

    Brewing with unfiltered tap water advice

    I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones who live in a place with great water (SW Missouri-in the Ozarks). It was a deciding factor in the location of my business and I am making a great product because of it.

    Brewing with unfiltered tap water advice

    I Don't do a thing. I checked the PH in my city water a few years back just because I had the test strips. It's 6.5

    Brewing with unfiltered tap water advice

    I don't do anything to the water at my Brewpub. It goes from tap to pot. If your water tastes good use it. I believe the water (more so then any other ingredient) is what makes my product totally local. In my 15 years of brewing I have never manipulated the water - not as a home brewer and not...

    Do professional breweries ever use extract?

    Yes. There are places that do all extract brewing and there are places that use DME as "additives"

    Beer line lengh advice

    No. "3/8 is too big for beer line. If your beer line fitting is 3/8 use an inch to attach onto the coupler then use a line splice to get it down to 3/16. Or get the fitting to hook 3/16 right up to coupler.'

    Beer line lengh advice

    3/8 is too big for beer line. If your beer line fitting is 3/8 use an inch to attach onto the coupler then use a line splice to get it down to 3/16. Or get the fitting to hook 3/16 right up to coupler. For length 3/16 line should be within 8 - 10 feet. That's the window for 10psi of pressure...

    Didn't sanitize kettle spigot before transferring to fermemter

    Brewing for almost 18 years. Never sanitized the brew pot valve before putting in fermenter. Ever. The heat from your boil keeps it all sterile. Don't do it at my Brewpub either.
