The Date on my yeast says Best By: Feb. 26 of 22 and the Lot number.

Hello all! In a bit of a jam. I made a starter which is my 1st time but I cheated and used the red can Proper Starter. I made 2 cans in fact which with the can and 16oz of water it says it's a SG of 1.040. Was gonna make the beer today but who knows now... Step by step. Yesterday at 230(ish) I...

Thank you!

I only have 2 LHBS in my area, 1 is out of stock and waiting for his delivery is this week and the other doesn't sell liquid yeast, only dry. I bought 2 packets of Safbrew S-33. If I don't see any activity by tonight, I might pitch these 2 packets combined, Yay or nay?

I ordered WLP530 last week but it died in transit as it was over 90 here in Central Virginia and it's at least 10-15 hotter in the UPS truck. I made that into a starter to see if it was usable but it was a dud. I bought a backup on Saturday, which is what I ended up using on my Sunday brewday...

I brewed yesterday a Belgian Dubbel (first time) and I'm not sure if I messed it up, here's the abridged verson. Mashed at 150* but it dropped down to 142* when I stirred the grains so I added hot water to bring it back up to 150*. I let it mash for 75 minutes total to make up for the lost...

Hello All!! I'm making a super tasty NEIPA soon and my buddy at his HBS bought a canning machine and told me he'd teach me how to use it so I can can my beer. My question is, can I can my beer after it's been carbonated in bottles or in my keg? Also - Can I fill my growler up from the keg and...

Kegged my first as well. It's at 15psi for 24 hours then I'm dropping it down to about 6-8psi, then I'm gonna drink it. Anyone think I should do it differently?

Well, on Sunday (Day 5 of 1st DH) I'm going from VA to SC to help a buddy move for 3 days, so the hops would sit in the primary for 8 days, heard that's bad? Also, I don't know if I'll be able to keg when I need to, might have to bottle as my paintball co2 tanks expired had having trouble...

Long time reader and 1st time poster. So a buddy and I made a NEIPA, used to live in Michigan (Macomb Co. above Detroit) so for all you guys up there it's a M-43 Clone but tweaked a little. On 11/9/19; Mashed at 150*/60min but it dropped to about 146, brought it back up to 150 with about 20...

Hello All - long time reader, first time poster. So, sitting here writing this in Central Virginia drinking a Heady Topper and figured I'll ask this question. I made mead (Honey and blackberry) just before my son was born (he'll be 3 in January 2020) and planned on giving it to him when he's...
