Off topic but .... Had some Fuzzy Baby Ducks last night from NEBCO. Reminded me a lot of Julius. Seek this on out!

Do you guys think these Bugfarm oak cubes would work well? http://www.ebay.com/itm/East-Coast-Yeast-Bugfarm-Inoculated-Oak-cubes-Lambic-Beer-Cantillon-Sour-/151564051299?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2349ebe363

Is the Caramalt on page 1 referring to dextrin malt (like carapils) or something like Carastan, which is a light crystal malt ?

Won't freezing kill the yeast?

Regarding removing wheat from his recipes... at 35:40 http://wiki.seacoastbeveragelab.com/index.php?title=Episode_54

John recently said there is no wheat used in Heady Topper. His wife has an allergy. He also said there are no hops in the boil. Just extract at bittering, and the rest go in the whirlpool and dry hops.

Just drank my first bottle. Really good stuff. Fantastic nose. Low bitterness, bright orange color, somewhat sweet, and super hoppy. My guess would be something like this... 12# 2 row 1#C60 .5# carapils 1 oz Citra @ 20 1 oz Citra @ 10 2 oz Citra @ 5 2 oz Citra @ 0 3 oz Citra dry hops Mash @...

Lactobacillus brevis will produce both ethanol as well as lactic acid. Since L. brevis is heterofermentative , could it be used for primary fermentation to produce a Berliner Weisse style beer?

I have a beer that finished too sweet. It's carbonated and cold, can I just let it warm up, release c02, then pitch some brett ?

If my beer didn't place in the top 3... does it still have a chance of moving on to the finals? I haven't gotten my score sheet for San Diego yet. Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't because you risk contamination. The alcohol in the beer creates a protective layer. Once you remove that, your risk of infection goes up. I use half gallon ball jars. Fill half way, boil in microwave put the lid on and let it cool. That's your sterile jar for harvest.

DOH ! I was measuring with my refractometer. FG is at 95 with a hydrometer. All is well.

I'm at day 14 and the gravity is at 1.032. I wonder if the one pack of Lalvin yeast wasn't enough?

The Eclipse kit said it should be done in 7 days, but to check the gravity every day.

I have a Cab that started at 1.090. At day 9 and 10 it's at 1.036. I've kept temps at 74 degrees. Should I be concerned? This is my first wine, thanks for any help!

I've been making beer for years, but it's time to show my wife some love. Cabs are her favorite so I was thinking of buying a kit to make her some wine. I'm looking for some advice. I'd like to ferment 5-6 gallons. Can anyone recommend a source or specific kit? Thanks for the help

So are most of you guys doing a FWH with Citra? I'm concerned about using this hop early in the boil.

Sure did. No problems. Good deal on combined shipping too.

Just purchased a few of these, very well made, food safe, and easy to clean. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200722953279?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Wyeast. I also add more lacto at bottling.
