So I was keeping in my fridge some london ale III from a past starter. Yesterday, I made a new starter with it but I have no sign of activity after more than 12 hours. I think the yeast was dead. (was in the fridge for 6 months...) I'm brewing this afternoon. I have a couple of pack of dried...

To make a short story, After I start brewing (beer), my mother told me my grand father was making some kind of fruit wine a long time ago (50-60 years ago). The last time they tasted it was when my parent got married. A couple of weeks later, my mother called and told me she had found the...

Hey everyone, So a couple of weeks ago, I did a very simple stout: 70% 2 rows 20% flaked barley 10% roasted barley EKG at 60 minutes and a small amount at 15 minutes for 30 IBU S-04 Final ABV: 4.5% My goal is to start from there and work my way to a recipe I like. The result was not bad at...

Hi everyone! I'm currently fermenting my batch in a plastic bucket. It's cheap and I know food grade plastic is technically fine but for me using stainless sound like a far better idea. My local brew shop sells SS brewtech which look fine but, damn, these are not cheap! Browsing their web...

Hello everyone, New brewer here using BIAB and doing 1 gallon batch. My first recipe was from a book by Brooklyn BrewShop. The recipe asked to mash the grain with 2.37L of water at 65C (151F) then sparge with 3.79L of water at 77C (170F) after 60 minutes. I don't understand why 2.37L / mash...

Hello :) After boiling my wort, cooling it and putting it into my fermenter, I realized I was missing a bit of liquid (probably boiled a bit more than usual, it's only my third beer so I'm still adjusting...) My recipe said it was OK to top with a bit of water, so I did. Before adding water...

Hi everyone, New brewer here with only 2 small batch and still patiently waiting to taste both :) Anyway, I made a couple of researches for my next batch but I found so many post and information I kind of feel the need to kindly ask 2-3 questions... So a bit of context/info in case it is...
