Brewing up a ten gallon batch, fermenting into TWO 6 gallon Better Bottle fermenters. I've got ONE stir plate but TWO 2L erlenmeyer flasks. Can I start one 2L yeast starter 48 before brew day, then 24 hours before brew day pull it off, set it aside on the counter overnight and start the next...

Thanks for all the great ideas, you guys ROCK!

Brewing 10 gallons of a cream ale for a buddy's wedding and I need help from all you creative geniuses out there naming this beer. Let me hear what you got! They both happen to be homocide detectives, although i'm trying to keep the name something light. Thanks!

So i was seperating my grain bill last night while having a few homebrews:drunk:, and i messed up! I added an extra pound of C60 to a grain bill that looked like this: 10 gallon batch 23lb 2 row 1.8lb Munich 1.8lb Crystal 75 8oz Carahell 4oz Special B 52 IBUs My first...

So the the first and second coffee additions using the French press, were they hot or cold? You don't recommend adding grounds to the wort?

Please forgive me for the dumb question but i just want to get it right. The 2 oz Ground Sumatran coffee at flameout is brewed coffee or is just the actual gound coffee?

Have you ever brewed with out adding the 5.2 and the Camden tablets, and have you noticed any difference? Also, why do let the containers sit open?

Any of you guys and gals ever brew with good old fashion tap water? Just curios how your beer came out, did you use a hose, etc. Thanks!

This may sound like a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. I've got 6 kegs full of beer. My fridge only holds 4 kegs. Can I hit the remaining two with co2, purge the o2 out and just leave at room temp (70 deg) for a few weeks?

How big of a starter?

OK, so take the viability from the harvest date (my case is 59%) and apply that to the "liquid yeast" tab. The "liquid yeast" says for 59% viability yeast, use 1 vial into a 2.19 L starter. Now a White Labs vial contains about 35 ml. Should I just estimate 35 ml of slurry and throw that into the...

So this is my first time using harvested yeast and I needed some help. Bewing a Kolsch (OG 1.052) an the Mr. Malty "Repitch From Slurry" tab says 200 billion cells needed / 156 ml slurry needed. So does this mean pitch the 156 ml slurry right into the fermentor (5 gallons)? Or sould I pitch into...

Anybody ever use this strain on a lager recipe instead of a lager yeast strain? Just curios if anyone has used this WLP080 to brew something other than a cream ale, maybe a bock or even a pilsner.

I use them all the time, no problems. Just sanitize and cover with some foil and you should be good to go.

No finings, just wanted hear back from someone who has used WLP029 before. Hear what kind of results they got.
