    Yeastman

    It looks like you can order as an individual homebrewer. I signed up out of curiosity and selected those categories. How can I obtain White Labs yeast if my local homebrew shop doesn’t carry it? If your local homebrew shop does not carry our yeast, you can simply order the yeast you need off...

    Sam Smith Yorkshire Stingo Bottle Harvest?

    I wonder if Stingo is bottled with the primary yeast. I had planned to harvest it myself when I saw your thread. The release late last year wasn’t available in NJ and using the beer finder on Merchant du Vin I found some in the Wegmans in King of Prussia. I bought 5 bottles and only drank...

    Sam Smith Yorkshire Stingo Bottle Harvest?

    It was exactly one year ago today that my Wife and I met Sam Smith III at the Dandelion in Philadelphia when he was promoting a very limited release of Nut Brown in Kegs. When I told him we would be very near Tadcaster, and could we possibly have a tour, he said yes! Cire, above (I don’t know...

    Fly sparging and time

    I use Phil's whirlythingy (that thing is so cool!) and Schmidling's EZ Masher in a 5 gallon kettle. Sparge time is 45 min to an hour, so perhaps it is the inner diameter of the tube? The fineness of the screen? I have never tried a false bottom so i don't know how that effects speed of run off.

    Tips on Wood Aging.

    Link: http://www.oakbarrelsltd.com/ The company advertising at the top of this thread offers lower prices than Thousand Oaks, but does not have locations at various events so shipping has to be added to the cost. Three things that strike me as interesting about barrel aging: 1. Aging time is...

    Tips on Wood Aging.

    I don't know if barrel aging is for me, but I was on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire this past weekend and saw a tent for Thousand Oaks Barrel Co.

    Wait, what did I just brew? It was supposed to be a Hefeweizen.

    Dude, you're the next Sam Calagione, but you won't be making 120 minute IPA I guess. Does your local library have his book "Extreme Brewing"? In it he describes different beer additives and gives advice according to his experience. His guidelines seem to show that fruit should be added at the...

    Wait, what did I just brew? It was supposed to be a Hefeweizen.

    Remember that honey in beer ferments all the way out leaving little / no flavor. Also it may contain wild yeasts if not killed by heating.

    Primary Fermenter temp too high?

    I used these plans: Wort-O-Matic: 38DD Mother of a Fermentation Chiller I left off the beautiful wood paneling because I need to move it up / down stairs when not in use. I leave the fan off because I accidentally stopped fermentation by making it too cold. I don't think it would be adequate...

    Primary Fermenter temp too high?

    I use a "Mother of a Fermentation Chiller" : Wort-O-Matic: 38DD Mother of a Fermentation Chiller Mine is without the beautiful wood paneling finish because I need to be able to pick it up and move it up / down stairs etc. by myself. It holds two 6.5 gal. carboys, and for the ice I fill and...

    Unidentified "off taste"

    Do you think it could be the dried yeast? I've had this medicinal flavor both times I have used Safale Ale yeast. Both times I also used Iodophor but at recommended levels. I have never had good luck with dried yeast, though the flavor cleared up after a month. I went back to liquid, which...
