Sorry if this has been covered already, but I'm wondering if I can do 10 gallons of this beer with one vial of the Kolsch yeast? If so, how big of a starter? Do I need to do a step up?

I noticed many posters have been swapping out the recipe yeast with S-04. I have a much better access to S-04, will the taste be much different using this yeast as opposed to the liquid yeast included in the original recipe?

Can someone recommend a dry yeast substitute for this recipe? Would S-05/04 or notty be potentially good swaps for the 1335?

Anyone try brewing this with S-05? If no, any opinions on trying this? Also since this is such a low gravity beer, do you think you could get away with one pocket of Nottingham for a 10 gallon batch??

Also, has anyone tried this recipe subbing in Chocolate (350L) for Carafa Special II? Hoping this won't make my brew to roasty...

Just brewed a 5.5 gallon batch of this yesterday! I followed the recipe exactly so far but am looking for some input. I have about an oz of Williamette and oz of Mt. Hood left over from a batch of BM's Cof3C. What would the implications be of adding these to the 1 oz of cascade suggested for dry...

Cracked my first bottle of this last night after two weeks conditioning...Beer was already carbed up perfectly, and had a delicious malty-sweet flavor, with enough body to keep things interesting, but light enough to knock back a few of these in one session. Not sure if anyone has compared this...

I pushed it down all the way yes. I did notice that the bearings inside the QD were very stiff from lack of use. I actually had to lube them up to push the QD on the post without having to strain myself. Perhaps just an old QD that needs replacing?

Sorry if this question has been addressed somewhere in the previous 76 pages of dialogue, but would there be any adverse effects to skipping the secondary and leaving for extended aging in the primary? I have 10 gallons split over two carboys of this stuff currently brewing and am having a hard...

@BrooklynTom there was no beer or liquid of any sort in the kegs. I just hooked the picnic tap up to the "out" posts when I brought my new purchases home to satisfy my curiosity... I would assume that no beer OR gas should be coming out since the keg was empty...Is it possible there is a bad...

Thanks for the quick reply jwelch. I had just moved the tank into the house and had not placed it by my fridge yet. I will be sure to strap it down. As far as the other issue goes, essentially when I attach the ball lock beverage disconnect from my picnic tap onto the "beer out" ball lock post...

First post as a HBT member, from Grimsby Ontario in Canada! Been brewing for about 2 years now and have spent some serious time lurking the forums. I must say, the information on this website is fantastic and has really helped up my brewing game from cheap kits to delicious all-grain beer...
