I was wondering if anyone had any experience or could lend some insight into using dry wine or dry brewer's yeast for oxygen scavenging my brewing water. I've been using this method with baker's yeast with awesome results. Unfortunately toilet paper isn't the only thing that people are hoarding...

Hey all. I made three different 5-gallon batches of the same imperial stout recipe in order to fill a 10-gallon used bourbon barrel. Transferred to barrel yesterday. This morning when I was cleaning out one of the kegs I used to age one of the batches I found a film like substance on the bottom...

Hey everyone. Im brewing up EdWort's Bavarian hefeweizen tomorrow and need some advice with adjusting my water for it (Grain Bill = 7 lbs Wheat & 4lbs Pilsner).

So I brewed a Baltic Porter (from a kit) about a week ago and has been sitting in my primary for about 10 days. The instructions from the kit suggest that I cold condition the brew for 2-4 weeks at 45F-55F after fermentation is complete. Im thinking that I'll follow thru with this suggestion...

Hey guys. New to the forum and I've absolutely learn so much from everybody. So for that I thank you. Last night I brewed my second batch of beer (Brewers Best Baltic Porter) and everything seemed to go well. When I got up this morning though there was no apparent fermentation activity (no...
