So I forgot to take into account the volume in the liquid yeast packet and now my starter is literally full to the top of the Erlenmeyer flask. I put two packets of Wyeast 1098 into 2L of starter. What should my next course of action be, if any? Should I take some volume out or just let it...

Hey everyone. I was looking around the internet and never really found a decent clone recipe for Lost Abbey's Serpent's Stout, my favorite of theirs. So I went ahead and emailed their customer service saying how I love the beer and would be interested in trying to brew it. Well two days later, I...

Hey everyone I got a quick question about secondary fermentation. So I've got 4 gallons of an RIS sitting in primary for the past 2 weeks (1.093 -> 1.027 in 7 days with S-04). I want to oak and possibly bourbon it. I was thinking I could use my two old 2 gallon plastic bucket fermenters, split...

Sorry to make an entire thread about this but so far it's going great! 20 mins into the mash and the weather is absolutely perfect (60 and sunny) and I'm enjoying my previous batch of extract IPA. I was 1 degree short of my mash temp of 152 but I'm not worrying. RDWHAHB

Hey everyone. So I made up a 1.6L starter of WLP001 in an erlenmeyer flask last night, no stir plate just swirling intermittently, covered with aluminum foil.

Hey everyone. I just started brewing about a month ago and have already done 3 two gallon small batch beers (2 IPAs and 1 APA). I'm thinking about doing a simple easy drinking summer type saison for my next one and I wanted to get some advice on a recipe. This will be my first 5 gallon brew...

So I was at my LHBS yesterday and saw an already milled grain bag marked "Stout Clearance Grains" for $3.99. It was a ~3.5lbs bag of crushed grains that had been messed up by whoever milled it for the customer. Apparently they didn't have the right mix or a wrong grain. Anyway, I bought it just...

Hey everyone I'm Dennis. I'm from Abington, PA which is right outside Philly. I've been drinking real beer for about 6 years now, ever since my junior year of college. Home brewing has always fascinated me. I got a Mr. Beer kit for my birthday and brewed it about two weeks ago. I guess I assumed...
