I have been bottling for a few years now between kegs, glass bottles, and soda bottles with the pete1. Eventually i noticed i would randomly get very red in the face and have slight difficulty breathing after drinking. I initially thought i had developed a beer or yeast allergy but it was very...

Ok, i read a lot of previous threads on this and see most people agree with proper sanitation beers can last several years. Especially darker and stronger beers. For me i have found brown glass bottles keep the longest grolsch and plastic bottles do not last more than 1.5 years. The brown glass...

Not really a question but an observation. I had done 37 batches without an infection using an iodine solution. Then that went empty i got star san because everyone raves about it. That's when i got my first infection. Seems to be lacto large white bubble pellicle. Not sure what i did wrong batch...

I'm sure this has been brought up a million times but i don't get it. When i first started i used a tsp a bottle and my beers carbed up good even a year later. Then i started using priming sugar 1 oz to a gallon most were good some were overcarbed so i cut back. The last couple batches i did...

Alright i have successfully harvested yeast several times. This time i do it i get beer on top, maybe a very thin layer of yeast then i believe trub. I pour off the beer and shake it up. This pic shows what I'm left with. I've never seen beer on the bottom. I don't know if this is foamy yeast...

Ok. I broke two hydrometers in two weeks. I know I should be more careful or just get a stand for them or something so they don't fall. I've looked around a bit and haven't found much. I see the plastic coopers one has bad reviews for accuracy. Then some shatterproof polycarbonate ones that are...

I got a noob question i've done about 14 batches now. But not quite sure on some types of yeast. I usually use Danstar nottingham yeast, or the belle saison. I just tried the safale s-33 did not like it. But i wonder what is the difference between the big 1 lb bags of brewers yeast? I could...
