    iPhone brewing apps - what you got?

    I used iBrewMaster (1 and 2) and loved it, but it hasn't been supported in years. I also stopped making homebrew about two years ago. I'm thinking about cooking some batches, but since I can't really use the old iBrewMaster app, I was wondering two things 1) What's the go-to iphone brewing tool...

    Double Dry Hopped Re-Used Yeast

    I made a double IPA with a huge starter of 001, and I wanted to keep the yeast. The beer was dry hopped twice. Lots of hop debris. I stored five large mason jars of yeast after racking. They separated into Beer/Yeast/Trub as expected. I'm making my first starter with the first batch of reused...

    Filtering dry hop material in racking

    Just following up, I cold crashed around 40 degrees for two days, used the inverter cap with a hop sock with a plastic washer to hold it "open." The setup worked well. Sock had hop material and protein break on it when I was done. Thanks for the tip.

    Using peppers

    I've been conscripted to making a "mexican themed" beer for a party at the end of January. I'm thinking about doing a smoked pepper porter. I've got the "smoked" part down, and the "porter" part down, but I've never added peppers to a beer before. I generally hate the idea. But I think...

    Basic question re: equipment

    Do you segregate equipment used for bacterial beers and non-bacterial beers? I would like to use WL670 farmhouse in a Saison I'm making, but I don't want my next IPA to taste like a sourapple. Will standard sanitation take care of this issue?

    WL820 problems

    I added three vials of new yeast three days ago. I'm fermenting now. The yeast used in my starter must have been heat damaged or something.

    WL820 problems

    Update. I pitched three vials of fresh 820 from LHBS Friday. Took a hydrometer reading Friday -- 1.066. Same at when wort transfer Tonight -- a layer of krausen exists! It beings.. Unleash the kraken.
