    Floaties

    This probably shouldnt be in the recipes section, but I have seen this with -04. I brewed a belgian that took off like a rocket and then didnt do too much for a couple weeks. When I went to rack to secondary it took off again and chunks were everywhere. I had a fair amount of chunks that...

    IPA recipe advice

    Looks pretty good, I would tend to add some of the middle hops toward the end (ie. maybe take the 10min hops and add more at 5 min and flameout). Also I like to add a little more to the dry hop, maybe reserve the colombus from the 15 and 10 and add that as a secondary dry hop. Centennial for 5...

    No Activity in Starter - Used it Anyway!

    Man, should have waited it out. There was no action this morning but when I came home from work, the yeasties were doing their thing. It only made me nervous that there was NO activity in the starter, so with the lag in primary I figured it was a dud. Yeast are amazing organisms. All is well...

    No Activity in Starter - Used it Anyway!

    Its definitely a slow start, there is ZERO activity, so I am assuming gravity would be the same. Maybe I didnt wash the yeast properly or made too big a starter (1L). Will the yeast eventually get going, I dont mind waiting, but I dont want to run a risk if I should just re pitched now...

    No Activity in Starter - Used it Anyway!

    I brewed a brown ale with WL002. Violent fermentation, beer came out great. Decided to wash this yeast, so after primary fermentation, I racked the brown ale to secondary and washed the yeast. Made a starter late in the afternoon, and let it go over night. The next day, there was no activity...

    Can I bottle condition in a growler

    I also have bottle conditioned in a growler, although it was the swing top grolsch style. Came out just fine. Although you have to be ready to drink the whole growler cause it does stay carbed for days on end.
