    Using krausen for both bottle condition and new pitch

    I always try and under pitch those types of beers for more yeast character. The yeast will have much more character if you under pitch. Also, ferment warm and create a warm room space for bottle conditioning 80° F Trust me its works. I usually just wait until the weather gets warm to make yeast...

    Overthinking Yeast Harvest

    As for dry hopping some say you loose all your aroma when co2 is active, it pushes it out mabey but if you're paranoid about Oxidation it's a good time to do both top crop and dry hop. I sometimes will throw a bag of dry hops in the keg after its carbatated for a BIG hop aroma bomb purge a...

    Ovaltine chocolate milk stout?

Pop the lid at rappid air lock activity scoop some of that foam up plop it in the jar and top it with some clean water. Stick it the fridge with the lid not all...
