Organized my brewing equipment. It will all be on one shelving unit. No more digging and hunting on brew day.

I did not make a starter because I do not have any DME and am a hour away from any sources.

Lagunitas IPA. I work 3rd shift so this is my 5pm

Bump. Really need to brew this weekend so it's ready for my family Christmas. If I brew it Friday and try the yeast and get nothing could I pitch another vial Sunday?

I should add that the whole contents of the vial were not froze. It was the "klump" of yeast. And it moth not have been frozen. I took a look at it today and it was still klumped together. It was in a cooler with a cup of ice so i don't know if that would cause it to freeze.

Yeah it's a liquid yeast. It is WLP0001. Vial is in good shape. How hard is it to make a starter?

So I went outa town today and picked up some brewing supplies. An unexpected stop came up so I grabbed so ice for the cooler. Got home and the chunk of yeast appeared to be frozen. It's a hour and half each way to the closest brew supply. I was planning on brewing Friday. Is it safe to try? If...

32370 + 5 gallons of Honey Hefe 32375

Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout

25808 + 5 gallons of shandy + 5 gallons of honey hefe= 25818

I plan to brew my honey hefe.

Just racked it over to keg. Added 36oz of lime aid and some tequila.

I think they went out of business. Looks like beer crazy in Des Moines

I am waiting the extra days. So on my way home from work this morning I had a idea. I didn't use the lime zest in the boil and I had planed on adding the lime aide during keging. But what if I use margarita mix??

If I cut the fermentation short by a day would that be a big issue? Otherwise I would have to wait 4 extra days.
