I brewed in Sunday, and have an og of 1.072. Pitched a 2L starter that fermented fine. Four days later, my 5g batch has had no activity. When aerating, I think my O2 tank was about to die because I didn't get nearly as much foam as I normally do. Should I give it a better of oxygen blast tonight...

Anyone know if there are viable dregs in Casey East Bank?

Hi folks, I'm planning to brew a lambic style tomorrow, and because I didn't know too far in advance I'd be brewing, I am limited with my yeast options. I hit up the local brew store today, thinking I was just going to get 3278 and call it a day. I came home with a pack of Roselare (March...

Hi folks! My in-laws are driving from NY to CO later this month. Aside from Three Floyds, are there any other must-see breweries that can/bottle along the way? I'm particularly interested in sours/wilds but all recs are welcome. Thanks!

I brewed my 1st sour on Monday and pitched ECY02 around 4pm (no starter) into 1.056 wort held at 70 degrees. I didnt notice any activity until 4pm on Wednesday, and that was some steady bubbling of the wort. That seems to have subsided when I checked this morning, but I never saw a krausen. It...

I'm going to make the jump to brewing sours shortly, but I need to order a few Better Bottles first. I could use some advice on which size(s) I should get. I usually do 5g batches, kegged, for my clean beers, so I will probably stick to the same size for sours. Are sours traditionally racked...

Hi folks! I'll be making a starter later this week, but I'm hoping to cut down the time, particularly around cooling, as I'll have to start the process after work. Is there any consensus how long I can safely wait to pitch without risking botulism after I've boiled my wort? Would...

Smooth operator, right here. :ban: Do I need to fish it out, or will everything be fine if I leave it in the bucket until I keg in ~4 weeks?

Just want to make sure I do this right. I'm going to make this Imperial Pumpkie Pie ale and it looks like I'll need to do my first starter, with a step-up at that. I've checked yeastcalc and mrmalty but I'd just like someone to confirm I follow the logic/process correctly. I plan to do pitch...

I've been thinking about trying to make a 10g batch for my first attempt, and splitting the wort into two 6.5g buckets. I came about this idea because we really like sours, but I don't necessarily want to wait 9-12 months to try my first brew. I found the Tart of Darkness thread and the (5g)...

Unfortunately this particular configuration isn't listed in the super-awesome Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts thread so I'm wondering if any of you fine folks can provide a definitive answer on if this will work. I'm looking at picking up a GE FCM7SUWW 7.0 Cu Ft freezer, with the intentions of...

Hi! I've been lurking and reading extensively over the past month or so because I'm going to start brewing over the summer. I'm basically only stalling because SWMBO wants me to wait until after we buy a house, and that's not a terrible idea as we don't really have the space or means to control...
