I was there too at one time. I've been this for almost forty years, I've dialed in on the ones I really love and that's what I brew. I have a solid dozen I rotate through. Three different on tap - right now, a doppelbock, Baltic Porter and a Kolsch. Just finished brewing a wheat. That'll be...

So you're brewing my now then? Good deal with overnighting the yeast!

We're always going to get beat up when it comes to brewing and making references to styles we are used to in the US.

I like malty styles of beer, Kolsch, Saisons and wheat beers. I also like to add fruit to beer, mostly wheat or other lighter styles. Bourbon oak aged beers are a favorite too. It took a few years of brewing to zero into what I really wanted from my brewery. I think all of us are trying to...

Welcome to the group!

Welcome! We're a bunch of brewers, all sorts of brewers - you'll find lots of inspiration here.

As long as my retirement fund keeps going up, I can absorb brewing ingredient increases as well as the food store.

Another delay for the Starliner. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna152228

I like trying Kolsch yeast for other styles. I like it for cold conditioning like a lager. Works great in an Oktoberfest. Disclosure: for the folks who disagree, too bad! My brews, done my way.

Everyone has great advice above, fruit can be added anytime as noted. I use fruit additions but only in the secondary vessel. That vessel is usually a corny keg, and the fruit is contained in a mesh bag, cheese cloth or one of those SS mesh tubes. The keg would be purged just like I would to...

Hello, Welcome the Home Brew Talk!

Yup, great part, I own several of them and I bought them all from you, plus several hundred dollars of other brew related items over the years.

They might not be award winning brews but I don't see any reason for them not being drinkable. With the investment you have in them already keep them and try it. Most if us learn from our mistakes and try to do better the next time round. It's all part of the experience.

I can't speak personally of most mail order home brew suppliers but can't they add some ice packs to an order of liquid yeast. Rite Brew is down the road from me but I hear their shipping is fast and they do include ice packs. If it's not a stock item ask Neil (the owner) and he might be able...

Nothing against brewhardware, but maybe you can get them easier from Amazon. Just like a lot of folks those jumpers are used for cleaning beer lines...

My next Kolsch I will try the Omega yeast. I like the 2575 but it's in the private collection and comes out every three years or so. I have used other Omega yeast with good results.

Howdy, welcome to the group! Just getting started, you found a large base of folks with all levels of brewing experience, brewing all sorts of things. You should find all sorts of help here.

That's a small space. Are you using electric for your brew pot? In a small area like you have your boil is going to produce a lot of moisture you're going to have to vent, plus have good air make up. A window to the outside is ideal. All of the suggestions made above are great ideas. My...

OK, I think we learned a lot here on water storage. Doesn't mater what storage vessel you use as long as it's safe for it's intended purpose. I only noted it in this thread as a vessel I use and how I do it. Whether a year or twenty-five years be safe and smart about what might be a life saver...
