I recently had a Porter that started at 1.064 original gravity. It got stuck in the low 20's so I racked it onto a White Labs 099 starter. That took it all the way down to 1.002, making the beer 8.2% ABV. Would this be considered an Imperial Porter now? My curiosity is that a beer that...

Andrikos - sweeter was only meant as sweeter relative to the other temp ranges, not sweet as in you'll have a beer that tastes like honey. So "sweeter" is correct in relative terms, just like lighter, you won't have a light beer like a Corona light if you mash in lower temps, but relative to...

Let's just say for whatever reason the mash cooler is dropping from 162 to some low number like 148, then maybe 60 minutes isn't enough time to convert and you need to add 30-60 minutes for full conversion.

I've searched everywhere and I couldn't find anything with my goggle gymnastics. I've always been curious about the flowing: Mashing in the saccrification range < 150 you will get a drier/lighter beer Mashing in the range 150-156 you will get a medium bodied beer Mashing in the...

Thanks for all the feedback this is perfect! The style was Belgian Pale Ale. I tried to do it as closely from what I researched on the internet to the recipe. I mainly do split batches and I really wanted to try the WLP 515 Antwerp strain with the other split. I'm planning on aging it for...

I've racked on top of WLP099 and had good success.

WLP 090 is my go to IPA yeast, fast, clean and accentuates the hops.

First time using Orval dregs. I did a step starter that yielded a nice fat layer of Orval dregs from 3 bottles. I did primary with WLP 510 and WLP 530, then blended in secondary with WLP 515 that I had in a split batch just to top off, 5% at most, but mainly the 510/530. Added the starter...

I want to see if this can work or has been done by anyone else, here are my thoughts: - make 9 1/2 gallons of wort with base grains, specialty malts and hops - regular process: mash, boil, chill - split the 9 1/2 gallons into 5 gallons and 4 1/2 gallons - make a 1/2 gallon wort with dark...

The gravity on this is in the 40's so you might be ok, it will just be a slow starter and could take 2-3 days to get going. Culturing bottle dregs also needs to be a careful process. Not sure if the stir plate in the beginning was too harsh on the yeast. If you want to be safe go another step...

Report back tomorrow if nothing happens. Both methods should work for such a low gravity, maybe just taking longer than expected.

I haven’t brewed it yet. I have cleaned the yeast and it’s in the refrigerator waiting to be used. All the times I've used Kolsch yeast it’s been in the 56-60 range. I was curious about doing it in the high 60’s if that would bring out more fruitiness or other flavors that might help an IPA.

Yes probably a little too sweet. Might not be awful, but you'll always be thinking about that when you drink it. The S-05 should have no ill affects on the beer and hopefully that works. If it doesn't work, rack it into another fermentation bottle/bucket, whatever you use, on top of the High...

I would say no

I just racked a Centennial Blonde with WY 2565 Kolsch yeast. I have 4 oz of Simcoe hops I need to use and was thinking of using the WY 2565 to make an IPA. I cleaned the yeast and was wondering what temp I should ferment the IPA at, in order to get the "most" out of the Kolsch yeast for an...

I'm making an ESB. I have a yeast starter of WLP002. I also collected bottle dregs from Coniston Bluebird bitter. I want to get the nuances of the true English bitter style, but have more of the ESB style dominate. From the bottle dregs, I created a starter and got it to grow. So I have...
