I had two vials of yeast to split between three carboys. Of course, I screwed up by pitching them in the two big carboys. The small 2 gallon batch got only the tiniest amount from the left over vials. I have a vial of Saison II yeasat here at work, and by the time I get home it'll have been...

When brewing our stronger beers, my brew buddy and I make a small batch of a weaker beer with our not quite spent grains. Our last batch was a 12 gallon imperial stout, where we made a 1.5 gallon batch of a weaker stout on the stove top. The imperial stout ages for six weeks, while the...

I recently got great flavor adding pasteurized honey to a wheat beer. I added it to the primary after about 2-3 days. To pasteurize your honey (kills any micro dudes and wild yeast), put it in an oven safe sauce pan @ 180F for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Then put it in...

I guessed 4 x 3 1/2 because I measured the Victory Hop Wallop that I was drinking. Yours actually looks more like 2" x 3"? Is that correct? I hope so because you get 12 on a sheet.

This thread is perfect. I'm actually doing the same thing for my brewing buddy's wedding. We have 4 different batches going and I just came here to Label and Display discussion to look for water resistant labels. We always "paste" our labels on with milk... I'm pretty sure I got that idea...

My only experience with French oak chips is when I used some in a Russian Imperial Stout. Like KPR, I soaked 2 oz oak chips in 6 oz of Jameson. After 7 day in the primary, I added the chips and whiskey into the 5.5 gallon batch of RIS. I let it age 17 days before bottling. When I tasted it...

No, definitely not 3 weeks. One batch was carbed after 7 days. The other after 10. They'll be chilled for the next month, but then it looks like I'm going to have to find more fridge space. Thanks for the quick response.

My brewing buddy and I are brewing the party favors for his wedding in June. We bottle condition all of our beer. I currently have four cases in my work refrigerator, and two cases in my home refrigerator - and we have yet to make an addition six cases needed for the wedding. My question...

I concur. That's amazing. I think I'm going to have to take a welding class.

Bruwsomtin had a friend pick up his grain this morning. On his sheet is a full bag of Thomas Fawcett Crystal Malt II - which according to their website is 65L. Since 25% of that bag was gone (what Shuggy has), I replaced it with the 25% of C-15 (that Shuggy should have). Does that make...

That makes sense. There is a half sack of C-15 down here with only one person left to pick up 25% of it. It's here. But that means that someone was severely shorted with their C-60. I sincerely apologize. It was rather chaotic on Saturday. In the future, it might be easier to spread...

Everyone pretty much hit the nail on the head. Especially when you're in on a five-way split, there is a thin margin of error for all involved. For the record, I didn't spill any DME. I just had it all over my sleeves from using that little scoop. No matter how hard you try, that sh*t is...

Alright... no Private Messages, no voicemails or missed calls. I hope everyone who planned on coming out today (Saturday) made it. Its ten after twelve and I'm about to head home. Nice meeting everyone. Everything ran fairly smoothly... even the splits. I'm still waiting on few people...

Hey everyone, adamreef was kind enough to donate a pack of large heafty ziplocks for those who are in on the DME split. 5 lbs fits comfortably into each bag. You'll still have to bring containers for everything else.

Yep, 7 works.

I appreciate the offer, but I pretty much have it handled. Two of the pallets are stocked on the shelves. The third is sitting out of the way for the time being. I think I found another shelf that I can consolidate. So I should be able to break the third pallet down to make everything...

Just show up between store hours, which is 7am - 11:59am. Seriously, if you get there at noon, you'll see me pulling away. I'll be checking my PMs as well as this thread periodically. Also, my cell# is located on the invoice next to the pick up address. Don't hesitate to call if you get...

The hanging scale weighs accurately to the half pound. Anyone who wishes to bring their own is welcome to do so. It might be helpful to have an extra one... especially on Saturday. I have an empty coffee can and a larger plastic pitcher that I use as a scoop for grain. Again, feel free...

Cool, the earlier the better. I'm here as early as 6:45am. I run this location with one other person. Sometimes, especially when the weather is nice, we get a little busy. So if there's nobody in the office, please give me a few minutes and I'll be in to help you. Just a reminder to...

No problem. Thanks for keeping us updated.
