    Multiple Yeast Entries

    With the growing popularity of many mixed fermentation beers, the "Custom/2nd Yeast" field in the Yeast section is not adequate to plan and track fermentation. Instead, it would be more powerful to enhance the Yeast section to function just like Malt/Hops/Mash/etc. The "Custom" field can be...

    Fermentation Paranoia

    Hey all, I just wrapped up a brew day on my first all grain (non-extract, non-kit) beer. I'm pretty ecstatic with how most everything turned out, with most targets being met or nearly so. The growing dread I'm facing is around fermentation schedule. I produced an IPA sitting at an OG of...

    Fermentation bucket

    Quickie question: Do you ferment in a bucket with a spigot to make racking to secondary easier or do you use bucket without spigot and then siphon? Seems like there's pros/cons both ways.

    Brewing in the Berkshires

    Just started brewing using the BIAB system in a 10 gallon Bayou Classic. My next batch is going to be a coffee porter, but the recipe says to add a very small amount of cold press coffee to the secondary fermentor; My question is: How do I prevent contamination of beer in secondary...

    Hello From Southern California :D

    Hey there Joey from the southern portion of California here :P So, I've been brewing for the last few months with extract brewing and just decided to get into all-grain. Put together a 5 gallon cooler mash tun today and it came out just right. Waiting on a fermentation bucket to come in the mail...
