I forgot to pick up beer nutrient but I have some wine nutrient left over. Will there be and detrimental flavors or adverse yeast health from using the wine nutrient ?

One of the cool things about tasting starter liquid is you get an idea what happens to yeast when you abuse it, oxidize it and ferment at 78-80 degrees when you shouldn't be. This thing is a dead ringer for Hoegarden and it is crazy how phenolic this yeast is when pushed outside it's...

Found these hidden in the back of the freezer. How do they look? Sorry for the in the bag picture but the hops are at my parents and the food saver is at my place.

Anyone have any success dry hopping in these with the tap system inserted after carbing?

Cost isn't really an issue, an extra few bucks isn't going to kill me on this recipe but being such a light, simple beer I'm unsure about vegetal flavors from having almost 1/3lb of noble hops in something that's 95% Pilsner malt with very low flavorings/aroma hopping to hide any of these...

I accidently set it to 53 vs 63. I pitched it at 60 last night around 8pm.

think this puts me at.5 straight rainy brewdays.

Someone decided Wednesday afternoon was a good day to get their pool deck pressure cleaned and now the pools dirty. NOPE NOPE NOPE See you Monday.

This is my current recipe, it's good but not great. I already plan on crashing it earlier to preserve some of the esters I lost over the 2 weeks of it sitting (hydrosample was AWESOME at 6 days, much better ester profile) but I want to add something else to the mix. What do you all feel would...

Had a customer tell me today that I am an unkind person and not a gentleman. The reason? I told her to call a tree trimmer. This person wanted me to takr a small table and stack a chair on it so I could trim the lower branches on a tree. Apaently my pool cleaning truck says Swampass' tree...

Planning to do a Maibock but then it hit me that I have only ever had Glissade from Sierra Nevada and I have no idea as to how minerally or how soft they actually taste or if sulfates are even appropriate in this style. Is shooting for 50-Calcium 5-Magnesium 0-Sodium 46-Chloride...

45 minutes into a boil with about 2 FEET of head clearance from the liquid to the pot I decide to go inside to get a bottle of water. Come back out to a boil over. This is just stupid.

I see quite a few posts about how well this yeast works down in the low to mid 50s. Wyeast has it listed with 55 degrees for the low point so I don't think this is too far of a stretch. Has anyone pitched it like they would a lager? I'm talking 300-500 billion yeast cells in the mid to...

Pitched at 6am Monday and today (Tuesday) at 1pm it had already dropped krausen. I completely missed it. The only sign is bubbling and a nice ring.

Back in mid April I did a batch with Edworts Haus Pale Ale grain bill (I subbed in Nugget for my flavoring and aroma hops) but I over sparged and had about a gallon of wort left over. Not wanting to waste a potential 12 pack of beer I decided to pitch some washed Kolsch yeast into a 1 gallon...

Had a bartender down here in Key West tell me today that Blue Point Toasted Lager is very mellow because they toast their hops to lessen the harsh hop flavor. You would think being one of the biggest craft beer bars in the lower keys they would know better.

Nice, we called Comcast back on the 20th or 21st to set up service for our new apartment and where given a July 1st turn on date (perfect, that's move in date). July 1st comes around and we get a call from them saying they entered in the information incorrectly and we are unable to get cable or...
