I've made a mistake! I brewed a Kolsch today and accidentally used half as many bittering hops as I was supposed to during the boil. Once I moved the wort to the fermenter, I reviewed my brewing notes and discovered the hop issue. I'm pitching my yeast tomorrow so i'm wondering if there is...

Sometimes you may need to pitch the next day due to the starter not being ready on time or if you are brewing a lager and need to chill to pitching temps. If you aerate using a oxygenation stone on way to your fermenter, do you need to aerate again before pitching if you wait a day or two? This...

So I decided to get into some serious kegging with my latest purchase of six Sankey 1/4 BBL tall kegs. Since I don't want to deal with pulling out the spears every time I want to clean them, I'm building a cleaning station to make my life a lot easier. I wanted to get some feedback on my...
