Hey all. So the last two batches I've made have given me band-aid burps. The first was a Kolsch & the most recent is a Double IPA. I can only pick up the off-flavor via band-aid burps (and it's really only every 3 burps, anyway). It isn't anything super noticeable and both beers turned...

Hi there. I've been trying on reddit & Beeradvocate but haven't had any bites. I'm really trying to track down some Heady to give it a try but more importantly to get some Conan yeast. I live in the Twin Cities & can get Surly. All of the year-rounds for sure, & maybe even Pentagram...

Hi Everyone Sorry if this is a re-post. I'm brewing my first sour tomorrow - Jamil's Flander's Red -and I'm planning on pitching Roselare from the get-go. If it's a simple 5 gal batch do I need to make a starter or can I just smack & pitch directly into the wort? Thanks!

Just stumbled on this via reddit's /r/beer this afternoon. What a fantastic idea. Sorry if this is a re-post, but I thought that this was too good not to share... http://www.bertusbrewery.com/2013/03/dry-hopped-bud-light.html?m=1

I built a DIY hop spider ala this guy and it's working great in my 7.5 gal. turkey fryer kettle. But I'm getting sick of watching the first 30 mins. for boil-overs and am about to make a 15.5 gal keggle. If I'm making 5 gal batches (boiling 6.5 gals or so) in a keggle, will the 5 gal...

I live in Minnesota so I've got plenty of Surly and their seasonal DIPA Abrasive (sorry no smoke or darkness!) Looking for Some Pliny the Elder. Let me know! Thanks in advance.

So I've been brewing for 2 years or so now and this was, by far, the best beer I made. It was inspired by a few recipes I got out of Mitch Steele's new IPA book. It ended up with a nice, toasty dark character. The warm alcohol in it meshed perfectly for a fantastic mid-winter brew. The...

I washed some 1056 yeast from a previous batch and am looking to brew with it this weekend. What are some of your favorite 1056 fermented beers? Thanks in advance! :mug:

I'm brewing my first Dunkelweizen this Friday and am debating whether or not to make a starter. I want to go for banana more than clove, and I've heard in various places that under-pitching & stressing hefe. yeast creates more of those banana esters. :ban: Would pitching a single WLP300...

Sort of a keg noob here... Last night I racked a beer into a corny and put it in the fridge to cool overnight. I accidentally left my CO2 valve open overnight and this morning when I went to hook up the gas nothing came out. I'm trying to figure out whether I simply ran out of CO2 (but only...

Longtime lurker but going to start posting. Because of you fine folks I'm now rocking All-Grain batches and kegging them in my basement. Thanks for all of the advice over the years!
