We used that yeast about a month ago for our super beer. We let it ferment in a primary for three weeks. O.g. Was 1.116 and we just put it in a glass carboy this week with a s.g. Of 1.028. It seems rousing the yeast up triggered a bit more fermentation in the secondary. We will let it sit for...

I've been using Home Depot white #2 buckets and lids for about a year now. Very easy to drill a hole for an airlock. We have 50 or so batches between 5 buckets. I've never had any infections or issues. Even put 150 degree wort in several times to cool overnight before pitching yeast. Sure it...

Itchygomey I think your onto something there... I think I'll start measuring out everything before hand in clean, sanitized containers. With a good recipe and timers... Even if I am hammered... What can go wrong! Thanks!

Hello, I'm new to home brewing but have about 10 batches under my belt. I've been re-searching for sometime now with no luck. Does anyone have a recipe similar to Great Northern Brewing's Black Star? I've always loved the hopy flavor and was sad to see it go. Any ideas or info that points me in...
