    I'm here in North Beach. I could have helped you out. Brewing Saison next week.

    Jim Koch eats dry yeast

    This is not the first time I've heard of this yeasty benefit. Unless Jimbo is trolling the article's author I'm sure there is be something to it. But he strikes me as a more conservative drinker than I.

    Immersion cooler; wow, I had no idea!

    If you don't know about it already Google "Jamil Chiller" or something similar. It is a combo whirlpool/chiller technique. I whirlpool and cool 12 gallons of wort down to lager temps in about a half hour. Ale temps in 20 min or so. Love it.

    Good books on the history of brewing?

    Michael Jackson's books are must haves.

    NIght Brews?

    I've got two young'ns and can typically get one or two brew days a month. My wife is a night nurse and that makes scheduling a brew day hard. Night brewing is sweet though. Save yourself some time. Take smaller moments leading up to brew day to get your game plan, cleaning, **** together...

    Bottling with Brett

    Thanks Aschecte. I'll definitely be checking out more of these threads. I appreciate your experience. I plan on bottling heavy 750ml bottles but I do not plan, or have the means to, on corking them. I'm just amazed that 1.002 beer can over carb.

    Bottling with Brett

    Well. I was a bit mistaken, and suspect, of my gravity reading. I took another sample, shook the hell out of it and let it sit overnight. It is 1.002. If I grow up a pitch for bottling at 1.002 is this enough sugar left to carb the beer?

    Bottling with Brett

    Hi. I'm a very green noob with Brett. I want to batch condition then bottle a Saison I have with the dregs from Saison Rue. My Saison is down to 1.006. Am I safe? How low does a brew need to go before you need to add priming sugar? Does batch conditioning and bottling from a keg negate the...

    Struggling with Pentainedione

    I wasn't thinking oxidation either. I blanket all my transfers with CO2. I'm sure there is some tiny amount of oxidation happening, but my other beers don't suffer from the same flavor. I brew 10gal batches and almost always split it in to two pitches of different yeast. I do everything the...

    Struggling with Pentainedione

    Also, I've used S-05 straight from the packet and it is great. Clean and crisp no off flavors. All these beers used the washed yeast, which is still clean and crisp but with a touch of honey.
