    WY 1968/ WLP002 Bottling Tips

    Hey Everyone, So I've been struggling with bottling any of my beers that use wyeast 1968 (WLP002). Any beer that I put in a bottle will end up overcarbonated. I even keg and bottle off the keg. I know the source of the issue is that the yeast doesn't attenuate the sugars completely and...

    Cash in Fermenter?

    Hey HBT, I'm having a get together for 10 or so people tonight. I'm providing homebrews and getting responses. I plan on taking donations to the "Send me to Brewing School Fund" and I was thinking about having the tip jar be a better Bottle. I realize the safe bet would be to use something...
