At Ales on the Rails King's Road had flyers for a Home Brew Contest. Entries are due the first weekend of June.

If anyone who has not signed up wants to brew at Big Brew day we need to know. We need to get permits from the fire Marshall and they ask for two weeks in advance. Here is a link to the sign up sheet if you missed it. I am asking that anyone that does want to brew please get on the sheet by the...

There are two spots left for the Imperial yeast Tour. Address and directions are above if anyone wants to make a last minute decision to go.

I just had the same email exchange with Anthony today. I ordered one that they didn't have and Anthony got right back to me and said he was about to order from Omega so they should have it next week. He hooked me up with a similar yeast for my brew day on Saturday.

For my 20# tank I exchange at SJ Welding on 38. I only use the 20 # to server beer from the keezer so it lasts like 1.5 to 2 years. It is only a few dollars more than a 5 pound exchange which I have done as well there. If I am going to exchange the big tank and I have an empty 5 pounder I will...

Hi Matt, I haven't used Lutra in mead but I have used Hot Head and Voss in my hydromels 5-7%. I fermented around room temperature. I recommend using about 8 grams of Fermaid O (you can do 1 addition or split that up and add it over a few days) and daily degassing for the first week. This...

It will go it will just take a while.

I make a Kölsch a few times a year. I just kegged a batch last week. I have used both Llalemand and K-97 dry yeasts. I prefer the Fermentis personally. I found the Lallemand Köln to take even longer. I pitch 2 packs for 5 gallons and ferment about 60 until the krausen starts to drop which...
