I should've said, can't do next week. I'll be traveling for over a week starting Friday, and I won't be able to reschedule my brew day for at least 3 weeks. That's why this would be perfect to let it sit at 70F and do it's thing for a month.

I mix 2 yeast strains together? Details: I was supposed to have a brew day this Sunday and have my 1L starter spinning. I planned on chilling today for a few hours, and start the 2L overnight through tomorrow. BUT! my weekend got all messed up and now the only time I can brew is tomorrow. The...

InBev (Anheuser Busch) owns 1/3 of red hook too...

My first was Blind Faith by Magic Hat. Remember it fondly. Senior in college, cracked her open, took one quaff and fell in love. Then I discovered the likes of Dogfish Head, Great Divide, Stone, and Boulder Brewing. Plus my father wound up living 45 min from 3 Floyds, so I frequented them...

I'm looking to buy a wine cooler (12-18 bottle range) to use to age beer. Due to limited space, I can't just buy a fridge and keep it at 50-55, so I need to go counter top or something like that. Does anyone have any recommendations? One that has removable shelves, and, hopefully, can store 22oz...

proper labeling and documentation

The party I wanted to brew it for is May 5. That's still pushing it close if I brew this Sunday, 2 week fermenter, 2 week bottling. If I wait another week, there's no way it'll be done, to my liking, in time. I know it won't be the same, but what can I expect from decreasing the volume and...

So, last night I was going to rack into a secondary onto 2oz hops for a Hazed and Infused clone. Then, I suddenly decided to just toss the hops into the primary, because, hell, it was so much easier, less risk of oxidation, infection, etc... I completely forgot I was going to rack because I...

For those of you looking to get in to BIAB, check this out: Bayou Classic Stock Pots with Spigots I don't know if they're always this price here, or if this is a sle... But! I just got my 10gal pot with spigot and basket! $170. Super excited to try it out soon :rockin:. Anyone want an old...

14,949.00 + 5g Irish Red + 5g Black IPA + 5g Apfelwein + 5 gal Hazed in Infused clone = 14969.00 gallons

A black wit brewed here in the Houston Texas area, by No Label Brewery. It tasted like chewing on straight black licorice. Maybe it was me, cuz I hate licorice, but it had no subtlety, no nuances, nothing but licorice. The rest of their stuff is good, though.

Who's used apple juice with ascorbic acid in it? I know it's just Vitamin C, but it still scares me....

Ultra cleaned washed yeast, or ultra trub? I just transferred my irish red on Monday and washed the yeast here. This is after letting it sit in a gallon jar overnight in the fridge, decanting, then splitting between this and another smaller jar. They both look like this. Is this pure yeast, or...

You betcha. I even used a stock pot I've used to make jambalaya, gumbo, stew, etc in to heat up sparge water when I first got in to partial mash. As was stated earlier, make sure you clean the $h!t outta it though.

I'm confused as to why it took 4 days to get to you. I order from AHS all the time, and here in Galveston it's overnight. I know It's about 250 miles further, but the 4 day shipping seems insane to me.

If I had to guess the idea behind a stir plate I'd venture this: Gas has a lot of liquidity to it. My thought is that as the wort vortexes, that movement transfers to the air above it (CO2), and causes the air to vortex. As it vortexes, it will push the vortexing CO2 up the walls of the flask...

Oxygenation. If you've got a CO2 system, you could pump that in to the carboy on top of the beer and displace the O2 (CO2 is heavier, the O2 goes out, the CO2 stays in).

I'm new to washing yeast, and I have a question: I've read a few places that you don't want to reuse yeast on a beer with a lower OG. Why? I have a black IPA about to be bottled, and I wanted either pitch onto the cake of Wyeast 1272, or wash the yeast and use it later for a Hazed and Infused...
