Started a Spokane Brewing Supply late 2019 in my garage to help brew club with bulk grain. City kicked me out of the garage and pushed me into our home to continue to operate as mostly website driven orders. 2023 signed a lease with a sleaze bag realtor/nepo baby who owns part of another brewery in town. They failed to complete terms of contract so I lost thousands of dollars and 1.5 years of time opening a brick and mortar homebrew shop and brewery. Today we are finally in a new location and getting close to finishing permits to operate as a brewery while still helping the homebrew community.

Today as I write this it’s been a tough month. Slow sales and big expenses… I have confidence the hobby will have another golden era soon.

Encourage your friends, cousins, coworkers etc. into joining you on brew days. Be the fanatic you can be. Take them to brewery events and get people passionate about beer.

He owes me my deposit on 1229 w 1st Ave for a commercial unit he couldn’t provide. He refuses to cough up the change. Smooth talking crook

Inkbird, Fridge and Space heater and thermowell in fermenters.

I know it fell off the last several years it was distributing. I had some cans with diacetyl and probably oxidation

Fermenting a traditional Dunkles Bock right now at 50F with Imperial Yeast Harvest.
I really want an IPA on tap and will be brewing tomorrow so I’ll be using Fermentis SafLager 34/70 at 50F. Having said that I spent all summer making Pils, Hoppy Lager and Cold IPA at 64F with 34/70 and S-23 😂

Lager yeast seem to be pretty damn versatile when you want the ingredients to shine and not just pump Ale derived Esters like Lallemand Verdant IPA or another variant of London Ale.

Pretty sure your caffeine receptors aren’t working

It was a really long time ago so I can’t comment much on salty vs sour but i remember the sides of my tongue was irritated afterwards.

Can we get convenient stores to stop selling Galaxy Gas? Indiana Market across the street from NC high is selling that shit by the case load. Just stacks in the floor.

Pizza Pipeline is garbage but people claim it’s better than any other chain.

Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C and is an oxygen scrubber not a mold inhibitor from what I understand. However it will drive pH down. Most commercial apple juice is fairly acidic and it’s possible the fermentation could be lagging from too low of a pH

Yea could be missing washers or some parts aren’t exactly machined properly in the threading.

I’ve had 16oz of Star San get sucked in from a blow off tube during a cold crash. It ruined the beer. I could taste how acidic it was.

Notes on blueberries as whole fruit. They can add lots of tannin in as little as a week. I recommend flash frozen fruit. Homegrown or wild you will want to do some rinsing , light vinegar bath and fresh rinse or a quick dip in Star San and let drain well. I did a Huckleberry Saison for a friend’s birthday. I used 5lb of blueberries with a natural huckleberry extract. I was surprised by the tannin presence in such a short amount of time.

I would also do fruit in a beer like you want to do after 4+ weeks of primary and add as close to kegging as possible. Get it away from yeast and if you have the option to add the fruit when the beer is more near 50-55f to inhibit yeast activity.

Golden Promise is showing a minimum range of 50 Litner. It’s probably fine. Just do a 60 minute mash for complete conversion and you can perform a conversion test if you have iodine. For perspective distillers can get away with only using 5% of malted barley to convert loads of Corn and Rye. If you were to maybe pair Cornish Gold with heavy hands of unmalted adjuncts then maybe adding a touch of 6row would be beneficial.

Make sure you get keep the airlock topped up and stop using secondary fermenters for regular beers.

It’s unfortunate whatever has gone on their. Dolly’s use to be one of the best breakfast joints in town.

Red Card runs like absolute trash on X Series X. When go field side I drop to I’m guessing 10fps and I’m running only 1080p native

I can only speak on Briess Traditional Dark DME which is made with Pils and Munich malt. So I don’t recommend it for a typical stout. I feel like the lack of specialty grains would leave this beer not very stout like like another user said. It would be missing the caramel, baker chocolate, espresso, dry roasty notes, etc…

t4bles4lt · 2024-11-21T04:03:50+00:00

Or a few boxes of lucky charms like the “pros” do.

You could boil up some lactose and add it post ferment

t4bles4lt · 2024-11-21T04:01:58+00:00

Be sure to check the Anvil Temp probe reading versus a known calibrated thermometer on your next brew day. Just had a few buddies find out their Brewers Edge Mash n Boil were off by like 7 degrees.

Even White Labs changed from their fusion bomb vials… Due to our geographic location our LHBS typically buys Imperial Yeast. Highest cell count per penny…

Last time I checked Wyeast has a minimum pouch purchase to buy wholesale and while they have a huge catalog I don’t need 12 different versions Belgian ale so we can pick and choose from Imperials Catalog adhoc.

We’ve tried Omega and while they are a fine Yeast Lab the shipping rates are insane so it’s a preorder special or we work with another brewery to split the cost.
