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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I just brewed the Black IPA extract kit from NorthernBrewer, using Wyeast 1272 American Ale II yeast. I used a yeast starter and let the specialty grains sit at 148-155 for 45 minutes. I pitched it in the carboy at 70 degrees on 1/9. OG 1.075. The problem is we've had about 2 weeks of pretty...

I have a bottle I picked up from 2007 (batch 1) that has been sitting in a 70 degree dark room since. It's not super high in alcohol and I was wondering if anyone has recently tried it. It registers in at 8.99%ABV. Wait or drink?

I just brewed a batch of beer (an ESB), and although I'm not new, it's only my 8th batch. I used BeerSmith 2.0 to craft the recipe, it was partial mash, and I used Wyeast Northwest Ale (1332) to ferment it. I siphoned it into my carboy 24 hours ago and there is no activity at all. I pitched...
