What had everyone been getting for an OG?

You're leaving from Groton! Not sure if you're familiar with the area. I'm from mystic, just a mile or two away. Anyways there are three cool small breweries just miles from Groton. Cottrell in pawcatuck, Beer'd in stonington and grey sail in westerly. Cottrell is my favorite, they have some...

Hey guys I'm getting ready to start a new homebrew and I'm making a starter for the first time and am not sure how much time I need to give the yeast to acclimate to room temp. also how long is too long to leave your yeast out? I leave my house for work at 6 am and get home around 4-430. If I...

Also, you can't use twist of bottles, only pop tops

Yes, just make sure they are sterilized and well clean before using them

Ok so you said 2.5 qts of water and 1.5 cups of DME. I only have a 2 L flask, How am I supposed to fit all of that in there?

Hey guys, I’m prepping for my next brew and am planning on making my first starter since this will be a big beer with an OG of 1.087. I am planning on using WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast and have two vials that I was planning on using. The best by date on the yeast is March 13th. I plan on...

I'm just starting out from stonington

Thanks a lot, that helps. If I'm planning to brew this Sunday when should I start my starter? I was thinking of starting it on Friday and leaving it in the fridge on Saturday night so I could pour off the excess liquid

I'm still a little confused, I plan on using both vials since I don't have the equipment to brew multiple batches at once, and the extra vial would just sit in my fridge. So when I make my starter should I add both vials to a mixture of 1 cup DME and 8 cups water in my 2 L flask? Or should I...

Hey guys, I’ve got two questions about my upcoming homebrew this weekend. Bear with me its only my second homebrew. The first being that I am concerned about my yeast; I ordered my yeast (two vials of WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast) from Austin Homebrew Supply last week and am having them...

You can only get the nano brewery beer by visiting the actual brewery, the guy only sells it in growlers

If you are in southern Connecticut there is an awesome microbrewery called Cottrell. They don't make anything too fancy, only about 4 or 5 beers. However, they make a great IPA called mystic bridge IPA and a wee heavy called Perry's revenge. I love the Perry's Revenge it's a great beer. Also if...

One more question, I'm getting my yeast in the next day or two, how long will it stay good in my fridge? I don't plan on brewing for a couple weeks

Nutrient sorry
