    Any way to get rid of (popcorn taste) diacetyl?

    I made a lambic mead and it has been sitting for 1.5 years. There is a popcorn taste which I am assuming is diacetyl. Anything I can do at this point to get rid of it? Will more time do anything? Pitch healthy fresh healthy yeast to clean it up? Any ideas/experience?

    Does this look like an infection?

    Added vanilla bean soaked in vodka to my imperial stout a week ago. Kegged it today and saw this bubble. It tastes great so I'm not too worried about it, but curious if this looks like an infection.

    I brewed a stout w/ smoked maple syrup last weekend. Tasted it last night and the smoke flavor is way too strong right now. I used 2 quarts of smoked maple syrup in a 3.5 gallon batch. I know smoked maple syrup is an uncommon ingredient. But does anyone have experience with beers w/ smoked...

    I'm using a glass gallon jug for my yeast starter. I put the cap on loosely and it looks like the krausen pushed the cap off at some point during the night. It is wlp001 going into an IIPA. I'm thinking the contamination risk is pretty low and even lower since it is going into such a strong...

    BIAB Full Volume Mash Mineral Additions Quantity

    Water chemistry calculators base the mineral additions on the mash volume. So if you are doing a BIAB full volume mash the quantity of minerals will be much higher than if you were doing a more traditional sparge. Resulting in the finished beer having a higher mineral content. Should this be...

    Ward Results - How is my interpretation?

    Below are the test results for my hose water from Ward Labs. I'm still getting the hang of brewing water basics but it looks like the water is pretty good overall. Total alkalinity is a little high? So I could use some acid to adjust the pH down a little for most beers. And could benefit by...
