    Anyone Have Conan Yeast?

    Does anyone have any Conan yeast available for trade or purchase? I'm hoping to see what it can do, but Heady Topper is very difficult to come by in California. I can either pay a reasonable price or trade some Northern California beers. Thanks!

    Hop Aroma Loss in Vacuum Sealed Mason Jars

    I've been storing my hops in vacuum sealed mason jars in the freezer for about 6 months. I love the ease of use, but I think the hops may be losing their aroma quicker than I remember when I was using the bags. I'm not sure if it's the age of the hops or the sealing in the mason jars. I'm...

    Does anyone have any ideas on what may cause a 6 month old March pump (used for about 5 brew days) to fail? I was in the middle of my brew day on Monday, when one of my two pumps on my horizontal system failed. I have my pumps set up through a control panel using standard household switches...

    Temperature Differential During Fermentation

    I recently started taping the Ranco temperature probe to the side of my plastic bucket fermenter to get the temperature instead of measuring the air temperature and comparing it to a thermometer on the bucket. It seems to be much more accurate, however, I'm wondering what kind of...

    Brutus/More Beer 1100 Hybrid Stand Complete

    It's been a 4-month process, but I'm finally 99% done with my brew stand. I showed my step dad the Brutus plans in BYO last year, and he decided that we should do it. The stand is a hybrid between a Brutus 10 and More Beer's 1100. We used Lonnie's design as a base, but we also borrowed...

    I'm trying to refine the hop taste in some of my IPA recipes. I still haven't found the flavor I'm looking for exactly. I'm hoping that some of you can share your thoughts on how the timing of flavor hop additions changes the taste profile in the finished beer. For my 5 gallon recipes, I...

    Leaking Corny Keg

    I've got a leaking corny keg and I'm hoping someone may have an idea as to what's leaking or how I can figure it out. I got a used keg and replaced all the O rings. I also replaced one poppet that seemed to be sticking. The issue is that the keg holds pressure fine when it's not...

    I'm just wondering what percentage of my total attenuation should be happening during primary fermentation. I know that secondary fermentation is not "fermentation" per say, but mostly for clearing. That said, should I be expecting to achieve 100% of my desired attenutation during primary...

    Hello everyone, I'm somewhat new to homebrewing, and I'm hoping someone might be able to enlighten me a bit regarding the use of both dry malt extract and liquid malt extract in the same recipe. I've seen several recipes, most often clone recipes, that use both types of extract. What...
