So I have quite a few ECY20 Bug County, ECY01 Bugfarm, and ECY02 Flemish Ale from like January this year (January 2014). Is this stuff still good? It's been kept at about 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit the whole time but due to the craziness in my life I haven't been able to brew with it. Will...

So I'm looking to make some pretty tart beers and would like to culture some lacto from some bottle dregs from Cascade Brewing since I've heard they have a pretty aggressive lacto strain. What is the best way to go about stepping up the lacto? I'm not as concerned with the other yeasts like...

Just an FYI for everyone since I've seen people looking for some East Coast Yeast. Love2Brew has ECY VI Bugfarm, ECY20 Bug County (last offering), and their Scottish Heavy, and Kolschbier available now (1/24/2013 8:30am MST) Good luck...

I brewed a Saison not too long ago and I used Wyeast 3711 French Saison, WLP 670 American Farmhouse, and Wyeast 5112 Brett Brux. The starting gravity was 1.057 and after 13 days the gravity was at 1.007 and it had no brett character but tasted like a great saison. Is this gravity too low for...

So I made my yeast starter yesterday and shook it up when I got home from work and put in the fridge to cold crash but I'm in the middle of my boil and all the yeast still hasn't fallen to the bottom. There is about 1\8inch layer of yeast on the bottom of my 1 gallon jug but the starter is still...

I went to the store to get ingredients for an oatmeal stout I was going to make and I bought 1lb of flaked barley instead of the 8oz the recipe called for and I mixed it in with all the other grains. Will the oatmeal stout be ruined if I continue as is? What effects will this have on the final...

I've tried looking for some resources on how to save microbes\bugs from brewing a batch of sour ale. It seems like there is a lot of effort involved in collecting different bottle dregs and gathering a great collection of microbes and it would seem like such a waste to dump it after bottling...

Hey Everyone, So I was going to be brewing this Cottage House Saison and I've decided I wanted to go with some Brett in there. I managed to get my hands on some WLP670 American Farmhouse Blend and also some Wyeast 5112 Brettanomyces bruxellensis and I still have the Wyeast 3711 French...

Hey Everyone, So I just did my first extract brew (well I did one about 3 years ago but this is the first one since then) and I have some concerns. I'm making the extract White House Honey Ale kit from Northern Brewer with specialty grains. I started with 6.2 gallons of water but due to...

Hey Everyone, So I'm trying to determine a good water profile for the White House Honey Ale I'm going to be making. I'll be starting with distilled water and I initially set my target water profile to London in BeerSmith. I then bumped up the calcium chloride levels to increase the calcium...
