im going to be buying some Pilsner and raw wheat for lambics, and want to buy the Best I can since it’s just those two ingredients. What do you all think are the best? I can get locally Avangard Pilsner and Cargill wheat, but definitely don’t want cargill. And Avangard I don’t know much...

What do you all think about repitching washed yeast from the trub of the same beer that was racked to secondary? My thinking on it is I’m getting rid of all the junk and then saving the yeast and bacteria to help Sour the beer faster, and leaving for food for brett once the yeast dies. Instead...

So I brewed my first batch of All Grain BIAB and reused the London ale WYeast from a spiced winter ale, the trub was collected only 2 days before brewing. It’s been 4 days, and there’s a bunch of trub in the bottom of the fermenter but it never developed a Krausen. Is this normal when reusing...

So it hit me earlier today, why not save Every bit of dregs from all the sour beers I’m drinking lately. So I made a simple starter wort but only did a 500ml batch, and was going to just constantly pitch dregs. Kind of like a sourdough starter, and then after a week or so of it building put...

So bought two more 12oz bottles dregs of Bam Biere from Jolly Pumpkin, and was planning on using them for a clone. The bottle date is 10/2014. Is this too old? I was still planning on using them, but I was going to Only use dregs, and wonder if I should have a back up Bug pack on stand by? Also...

So when I collect wild yeast & bacteria am I able to collect any Brett and/or Pedio? Or is there some plants or grains or what have you that have these two more prevalent than others? Or is it just LAB that’s most common?

So I brewed this on Saturday, and yesterday Kräusen was high (especially compared to my first brew an APA with SafAle US-05 No starter, took a few days to get high), today there’s already a bunch of trub and Kräusen has fallen. Not much airlock activity, but it still tastes pretty good (granted...

Any good articles or threads discussing this, I’m not talking about a calculator, I do Not have analytics of the water I’m using not have money to send it off for testing. I’m using water that is sourced from local supply but buying it from a vending machine to fill my own bottles and it used...

So if I am fermenting and activity stops, can I bottle or should I wait the entire 4 weeks? Morebeers pale ale recipe that comes with their kit, only says 2 weeks. New kits from Northern say to wait 4 weeks. Is it better to age it? I’m only talking about clean beers

So as mentioned on an episode of sour hour I believe with crooked stave, he mentions how in a lot of sour breweries especially European ones they ferment and age in the same barrel, so the beer is sitting on the trub it’s whole life until bottling. What do you all think? Rack to a secondary...

Ordered 3 fermonsters 6 gallons from morebeer on thanksgiving and received them today, I opened them up and to my surprise 3 - 30L/7.9 Gallon Speidel’s were inside! The spigot, airlock, and stopper were for the fermonster so they won’t fit, but Called them about it and they are letting me keep...

so I finally decided this what I’m going to try to do for my all grain brew... Yes I know, I need to buy a big kettle, etc... but I don’t have the money right now after buying everything else to start brewing. So I guess I just need some help on my recipe and run, please! How many pounds of...

so going to buy some kits this week, and one of them calls for the same type of yeast. Can I make a starter and use half of the starter for each 5 gallon batch from the 1 pack of liquid WYeast French Saison yeast? This would save me a lot of money. Also can I save and keep feeding a starter...

I was going to use some vending machine water that runs it through a carbon filter at first and at end, reverse osmosis, and ultra violet light, since this is the cheapest cleanest water I can get. My farm house has pipes from the 40-50s and definitely has iron in it, not visible though. But I...

is this possible? Just bought the deluxe kit from more beer and it’s a 5 gallon kettle, will I be able to brew 5 gallon batches with Grain or am I limited to DME 5 gallon batches or small Grain batches like 3 gallon?

ive decided to finally go the home brew route considering the beers I truly love are so expensive. I want to brew authentic style Belgium & Netherlands sour beer. I have access to tons of food grade 5 gallon pickle buckets, can I use these to ferment 5 gallon batches or will I need to do only...
