    Cherry/Lime sour

    Buddy is coming over tomorrow and wants to make a sour. Will be doing a kettle sour. I've never used cherries before, most likely will be using frozen, whole cherries because I don't remember seeing fresh cherries here in PR. How much cherries / lime peel should I use for a 5 gallong batch if...

    American Pale Ale Enigma Wrapped in A Pale Ale

    While not technically a single hop pale ale, I used a 3ml hopshot @60 to bitter and then exclusively Enigma hops after that. The Enigma hops came through as non-specific citrus and I would occasionally get some green pepper as well. This beer won 2nd place in the American Pale Ale (18b) category...

    American IPA Single Hop Vic Secret IPA

    Grabbed 8oz of Vic Secret from Yakima Valley, I've been wanting to try them out in a brew for a while. Decided on a single hop IPA.

    fermentation fridge, when not fermenting

    Hopefully right place for this. I ferment in a 7 cu ft chest freezer controlled by an inkbird 308 and heated with a seedling mat. When you don't have anything in your fermentation chamber, what temp do you leave it at? Mine sits in my garage that is not climate controlled, I usually just leave...

    Reusing Yeast

    I have just begun to overbuild starters, split them, saving half and pitching half. Is there a limit to how many times I can keep doing this with the same yeast before I start getting some unwanted mutations? Right now I just have 1272, but I plan on doing this with any yeast I buy in the...

Mr Malty says I need 390 billion cells for a 1.106 OG beer. I have a 1L Erlenmeyer flask, mason jars, several growlers, 3 cans of NB fast pitch...
