thanks for the info

I recently brewed an American stout with a starting gravity of 1.085. I fermented with Sake yeast from maniacal yeast mixed with a pack of S-04. During the first three days of fermentation i added 12 oz. of maple syrup a day for three days. In total i added 36 oz. of organic maple syrup to the...

Update. I harvested yeast from three different commercial kettle sour beers. I made a 500ml starter, cold crashed, then decanted. Then i stepped it up to a 1 liter starter, cold crashed, decanted. last night i stepped it up to a 2 liter starter. It's now on the stir plate and its looking...

Yeah the main goal here is to find a low pH tolerant sacc strain. I sour with Lacto so if it has some in there no big deal.

I have a local brewery whose kettle sour beer i enjoy. I noticed that every time i drink one there is a little yeast in the bottom of the can. Could harvesting this yeast and growing it into a pitch-able starter give me a yeast more suited for low Ph beers? I've had low attenuation issues in my...

Thanks for the help. This is what I made

I wanted to thank everyone that contributed to this thread. I tried some of your suggestions and I’m happy to report a beer with a F.G. Of 1.010. I brewed a NEIPA using 8lbs of 2-row 1lbs of flaked oats 1lbs of flaked wheat Mashed at 149 for 60 minuets Had a starting gravity of 1.045 Pitched...

James Spencer on Basic Brewing podcast interviewed the guy that created Star San. That guy said if you use more than the directions call for then "no rinse" becomes "must rinse".

if that's what it takes then i'll try that but im gonna try this eaiser stuff first. :D

the next batch I make I'm taking honey malt out all together.

I use beersmith as well. 70ish IBU's from the boil. I just got some salts my next batch will be my first playing with water. I order all my hops from Yakima Valley Hops and store them in my freezer till I use them

I use BeerSmith 2

with any other beer styles I will try that, however I'm brewing IPA's and NEIPA's and the fresher they are the better. I'm trying to get around 1.010 in 10 days.

Imperial claims that they have 2 billion cells per pack and that no starter is needed. I've been bumping the temp up once the airlock activity stops. is that too late?

thanks i'll try that this weekend

mash temp is something I have overlooked. I will try this on Friday. Thanks.

you may be right. The last beer I brewed had 10lb 2-row 1lb honey malt 10oz. special b 1lb golden naked oats mashed @153 for 60mins O.G. 1.070 F.G. 1.015 I pitched Imperial Barbarian for 7 days till airlock activity stopped checked my gravity 1.025 then I pitched a pack of mangrove jack liberty...

so far I've used S-04, US-05, Imperial Barbarian, wyeast 1318, mangrove jacks liberty bell ale and west coast ale, and WLP007. the last IIPA I brewed was 95 IBU. s.g. 1.070 f.g. 1.015. that was the highest attenuation I've had to date

I'm using BIAB

Any advice that could be given would be greatly appreciated. I started brewing back in 2011 while I was in college. I brewed casually for 3 years (extract only) till I started a career and life happened. I’ve started back brewing heavy in the last year. I’ve brewed two 5 gallon batches a...
