Six days ago, I brewed the Deception Cream Stout recipe found here : Sweet Stout - Deception Cream Stout I did the all grain version BIAB. My mash temperatures were on average 152F give or take 2-3 deg. I started the mash a few degrees high and ended a few low. I added in some DME to get the...

Won't pitching the whole thing into a 5 gallon batch be overpitching it?

Today bottled all my beer and poured the rest of the trub and bottom layer into a jar as shown in the photo. After about an hour in the fridge, I took it out and I notice it doesn't really have a distinctive lighter yeast layer. Is the bottom layer all yeast possibly? This was from a ~3 gallon...

How long can you store these for usually?

I've got a batch of witbier fermenting in which I used white labs wit 2 yeast. I'd like to reuse the yeast but not make another wit. How ill advised is this? I'm guessing its fine for similar styles but as you go out to less similar ones it makes a big difference? What about using this yeast for...

Seems pretty unanimous. Metal one wins. Thanks guys!

My local store has both of these cappers for the same price. One looks to be all metal and more sturdy. Does anyone have experience with any of these? I'm not sure which is best. https://www.shopbarleys.com/product/1505/emily-bottle-capper or...

Oh really? For the sake of learning, why do you think I should be fine? Is it that you think the amount of grain I'm using in that recipe will not give me any problems? Does it help to mention I'm doing this BIAB style?

I'll be brewing tomorrow and don't have any DME. I've heard that if your OG is too low, adding DME is what you can do to raise it. Without DME though, I'm wondering, can I make my wort with slightly less water so that my OG errs on the side of too high so that I can add water in after to lower...

Ok thanks.

Ah ok. Yeah I see another recipe that called for flaked wheat but it also indicates to even get the flaked wheat ground. Is that a thing? Will that help?

I think I can just ask the brewing equipment store to crush the grains finer no?

Oh I was going for a Belgian Witbier but I think some ingredients got mixed up in my searches and I bunched them together. What would you substitute to get a Witbier?

I'm new to brewing and I'm planning on brewing some wheat beer using the BIAB method. I've done some research online and have come up with a recipe that seems to be the general consensus on how to make a basic wheat beer and before I go and buy the ingredients, I was wondering if I could get...
