Appreciate the heads up! I entered.

Then that's what I'll do! Thanks, stevehardt!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed positively to this thread. I truly appreciate the help. I've gone ahead and put together a spreadsheet of all prior mentioned breweries that were either founded by those in the minority, or whose brewmaster is in the minority, and reached out to them with...

Alright, got a question! However, first thing's first. I have named my yeast. Just felt cold not to. They're working so hard for me and they deserve a proper name. So, I present to you... That aside, the Yeastie Boys seem to have done much of their vigorous work. The krausen has subsided...

Hi jsun, While the theme of your comment is noble, I don't feel it's productive to this thread. Now, I am in no way trying to dictate what you can and cannot say, I just think there are better places to talk about that and this thread is not one of them especially considering we just got...

Women are part of the definition. Circling back to my original post, I am going off the social science definition of minority group, which states that "minority" refers to categories of persons who hold few positions of social power. In the world of beer, women most definitely fall under...

Fair enough. I apologize for throwing words around without regard to connotation. Just to clarify, I don't think anything conspiratorial is going on. I'm a very curious person, so little things like this pique that curiousity.

Thank you, boydster! I'll standby to see if anyone else chimes in.

Yes, it is the yeast included in the Mr. Beer "Classic American Light" kit. It's important to me because I'm curious. I want to know for the sake of knowing. I have no ulterior motive aside from that. By "divulge" I mean that they clearly state what strains other yeast packets are on...

Hi all, Has the yeast strain of the Mr. Beer dry ale yeast "Brewer's Yeast" been figured out yet? I searched for a bit on HBT and via a few Google searches, but was unable to find anything. I'm just curious and I find it odd that they divulge every other strain but the "Brewer's Yeast."...

Haha! Thanks for sharing that and thanks for the warm welcome. :)

I don't know if this was directed towards me or Talgrath, but if it was towards me, I'm confused. No where have I said I want to judge beer by the race, religion, or gender of the brewery's founders. When you stated, "I hope to live in a world that's color-blind and doesn't try to define...

Glad I could make you laugh! At this point, I'm not as concerned about temperature. Going into my next batch, I'll be doing a lot more to achieve a temp at the low-end of the suggested fermentation temps. Thanks for the tip, though. I appreciate it. :)

clockwise, take a look at this: This came from http://www.fcwa.org/water/faq.htm (which I think incorporates Centreville, where I'm assuming you're brewing).

Did you happen to use a chlorine-based sanitizer?

I've already made a resolution with myself not to jump the gun. I actually am extending all time periods recommended by Mr. Beer by a multiple of ~2. I might be extending primary by an additional week. So, the patience thing I'm very cognizant about. Appreciate your input! And +1 for being...

Even if you could "taste the minority," that's not the point of why I'm asking for input on minority-founded breweries, nor was that ever something I even had a flicker of a thought about. As I said above, the point is to build up a list to pull from to add context to a single component of...

I'm not even a worry-wart usually, but this process has had me on edge (not bad edge, just edge!) Thanks for your input, though. Always appreciated. My biggest constraint right now is space. I'm in an apartment right now with my fiancée and though she's supportive of my hobby, I have the...

I've already reached out to one of the local brew shops with a ton of questions. They got back to me with a super thorough, super helpful email, and recommended I jump up to a partial mash kit (rather than all-grain until I can put a good rig together and have a bit more experience). I'm...
