    So I Drank a Few Homebrews and I...

    forgot to add the honey during the boil! whoops. i added it in before pitching the yeast, i know that honey has micro-organisms in it, whatever, i ain't scurred. anyway, i'm more trying to figure out my OG for the rye saison i brewed. without the honey it was 1.080. i've read that honey...

    There's Some Bad Info Going Around

    about not needing to aerate dry yeast. This is completely false info and I can just picture noobs taking this in and having a ton of stuck ferments. Let's nip this in the bud! Aerate, people!

    Stupid Brett Question

    so i'm drinking a jolly pumping weizenbam and i get the smart idea to harvest the brett from the bottle, use my handy stir plate to grow it up and then wash it for use later. stupid question is: while i know that i have to basically reserve a set of equipment (fermenter, tubing, bottle wand)...

    What's With All the Infection Worries?

    seems like 99% of the time a person is freaked out about infection, it's not the case. why are people so paranoid about it? sanitation is pretty basic and nothing you're doing is particularly complicated. i just don't get why every day we get 10 new "is this infected?" threads. maybe it's...

    Size of Mini Fridge For Fermentation Vessel?

    i've searched a bit for this but want to check on what other people are using. i live in a NYC apartment so i have VERY limited space. i've seen 4.4 cubic ft fridges that look like they would work if i cut away some of the plastic from the inside, but i'm a bit scared to hit something...
