Had to stop by my LHBS on Friday to pick up some yeast for this weekends brew day. I thought I would be in and out within a matter of minutes, not the case. I was amazed at how many women were in the there buying brew kits for Fathers Day. I watched one wife buy the deluxe starter kit with 3...

I love giving my old equipment away to brewers. Today I am giving away my old keg fridge. It is ugly but gets the job done. I have seperated the top freezer from the main compartment to maximize size. Also, there is a hole drilled in it for the old 525 tap. This is free you must pick up...

I made a starter using wlp037 two weeks ago I wasn't able to brew as palnned so I sanitized a mason jar and have been holding it in my beer fridge. Today I looked inside and found these white formations on the top of the cake. It has a slight sour smell to it. Would hate to dump infected yeast...
