The vibration from the washing machines shouldn't have an effect. The 68F temperature is fine. Honestly, I'd just leave it and check on it in a week. I'm sure those yeasties are working away. There could be a myriad of reasons you're not seeing airlock activity, including leaky plastic bucket...

I'm making a 1.5 gal batch, and made a 1L starter from the vial since it was 3 months old and I wanted to prove it was still good. Inland Island does put 200b cells in each vial, so I could have just pitched and had plenty of yeast, but just in case. I didn't have enough ice, and couldn't get...

Anyone use this strain? http://inlandislandyeast.com/yeast-library/inis-711-german-monk-lager/ I'm making a Vienna Lager and the guy at the LHBS recommended it to me.

So I just opened up an amber ale that has been in the bottle for about 2 weeks. It has a distinct ciderish flavor, that I think is acetaldehyde. Is this something that will go away by just leaving the bottles alone for a couple more weeks?

I can't remember the last time I've had a stressful moment and thought, I'd really like a drink. Instead, I eat all the food in sight. I drink beer because I enjoy the taste. I'll go days without a beer just because I haven't felt like one or didn't think I had something that would go well with...

Holy crap this is awesome! I love reading about your progress, all the planning and snags that you've run into. I'm only just starting with homebrewing... I can't even imagine the work that goes into a commercial brewery. I have family that live in the area, and will definitely stop in for a...

That's decent attenuation, 1-(17/70) = 0.76. Depending on the yeast, that may be about right.

CO-Brew mostly since it's a walk down the street from my office. I buy stuff for 1-2 gallon batches. I never really compared their prices on equipment, but grains, hops and yeast are on par with Northern Brewer.

I just hope it doesn't affect the many local stores in the Denver area. NB/MS has some good prices, but it never made much sense for me once I factored in shipping.

This webapp is freaking awesome! Thanks for creating it. Will definitely be acquiring a subscription soon.

Hi all! I'm sure I'm one of many Denverites on the forums. A friend of mine recently asked for my help to brew some beer and he kinda got me hooked. We did a couple 5 gallon brews. A pale ale that turned out, meh, and a porter that's actually quite good and getting better the more weeks it...

Google, very much Google. Though, apparently my account is almost 8 years old, so I don't know how I found it 8 years ago. Probably Google.

So my buddy gave me his old beer brewing stuff. One of the two fermenting buckets he gave me has a yellow stain and a pretty raunchy smell to it. Is this bucket even worth keeping? What can I do to get rid of the odor? I've got it sitting in a solution of water and bleach. We'll see if that helps.
