I am brewing a Berliner Weiss following a recipe I found here. This recipe has you ferment in 2 batches, one with Lactobacillus Delbrueckii, and the other with Brett, then mixing the two batches together for a final product. I make this beer often, and the yeast is pretty pricey. I would like...

Hi all, this may be tricky to describe, but I'll try to be clear. I have a 2.5 gallon batch of lactobacillus that has been sitting for about 3 weeks (it is half of a berliner weiss). For some reason I cannot seem to keep sanitizer solution in the airlock, it keeps getting sucked into the...

Filled a keg last night, hooked it up to gas, put it all in the beer fridge. It was holding pressure just fine all evening. I even pressure tested the keg for the last 2 weeks (new fittings). Woke up this morning to an unpressurized keg and empty CO2 cylinder. :mad: I am assuming that...
