What’s a beer like this taste like? I’m intrigued by your list of fermentables.

This is all ridiculously helpful. You folks are awesome! I have a few questions though. Storage? Many of you are mentioning gamma lids. What’s that about? Thanks again!

Hey folks, My LHBS just closed. So, I’m looking for some other options as far as malt. What I’d like to do is order/acquire a sort of inventory of a limited number of malts. Like one base malt and 5-10 specialty/adjunct malts. What I’m invisioning is having an inventory from which I could build...

Hello, So I brewed a vanilla porter before Christmas. It was tasting fantastic when I took readings etc. Then, right before bottling, it got a bad sour taste. I then educated myself on the properties of Star San and learned that mine was probably no longer effective. So I'm guessing my beer got...

Thanks for the help folks. The yeast calculator is a big help.

Thanks a lot for the help. This is good stuff. So my yeast is 2 months old. Quite a bit older than all of the things y'all were mentioning. I would guess then that I want to assume that a lot of the cells have given up the ghost. If 3-5% per week is the die off rate, I've lost a lot...

Hey folks, I've got a quick question about making yeast starters. I've got some yeast that I have harvested and washed from a previous batch. It's all settled to the bottom and there's quite a bit, probably 6-7 ounces of solid yeast at the bottom. My question is, how much of this should I...

Wow. I've done 8 batches of beer so far, all grain except for one. Then, I bought an RT600C thermometer. Shortly after buying it, I discovered that my old thermometer was off by 7 degrees, low. I feel like I'm starting over. But now maybe, I'll get results that I'm looking for.

Hey folks, Anyone ever brewed with WLP0039 at lower temps? Mid to low 60s. Whit Labs says optimal range I should 66-70. I want to use this strain simply because I have it on hand, but I want to minimize the ester and fused character. Thanks, Joe
