It was a year ago so I don't know.

I think it was 04. When I started using this yeast I noticed it didn'd get after it as other yeasts I've used in the past, but this one was the worst. And you are right, the krausen doesn't last very long. Should I use another yeast because I noticed my last couple of batches using this yeast...

I checked it yesterday ant it picked up alot. I believe the yeast was safale. It is a sierra nevada clone.

I finally brewed yesterday for the first time in about a year and I might have a problem but not sure. I used some grain and dry yeast that is about a year old but the experation date on the yeasy is 2013. This morning it had started but it wa not bubbleing very much and there was only about...

I used to have this problem on every batch I made after it first appeared. After I started brewing and racking in the garage the problem went away. I believe it is some kind of mold that is in the air where you are racking. I didn't think it made a difference in taste but after it went away the...

Will cane sugar work the same as corn sugar?

Sounds like way more work than ales but I have to try it. Thanks a bunch guys.

I have been doing all grain ales for almost a year now and would like to try a lager. I would appreciate it if some of you homebrew heads could drop some knowledge on me about some of my concerns. 1: How big of a starter should I make for 10 gallons? 2: What temp should the starter be at and...

I'm afraid to ask what you kiss.

Don't worry about it. Almost all of my beer has a white film over it but it still tastes fine. Being in South Texas where the humidity is always high I believe mine is some sort of mold.

Thanks guys. I did buy 3# and I'm sure I will use them.

Because of the hop shortage last year I bought about 4 pounds of the three variaties of hops I use most. I haven't paid any attention to the hop situation this year until my took inventory of my stock and went to purchase more at Hopsdirect.com. What the hell happened? They only have 4 different...

I was talking with my uncle this weekend who worked with Coca Cola for years. He said they used caustic soda (lye) to clean the kegs. Has anyone had any experience with this?

The residue is from fermenting. A while back I had a bunch of bad batches in a row and was trying everything including oxyclean. I found out that the residue was what was causing the problem and nothing takes it off accept scrubbing. If you don't scrub and get an infection the only fix is scrubbing.

It wouldn't last six weeks at my house.

I think this is much more plausible.

I did find this one but will it work for all three burners or is it too much for the MLT? http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/bg14_cast_iron_burner.htm

Ah the younger generation. It's always someone elses fault. Looks like a real stainless steal!

I am going to go AG as soon as I can get all of the equipment. I will be building a single tier system and the sites with burners are real vague as to the exact specs. ie. High pressure and how many BTU's. I am looking at this one...
