My new rapid chill method, heat exchange via continuous cold water. :D

I have a question. How long will harvested yeast survive in the fridge? If as brewersfriend states that yeast loses 20 percent of its vitality after a month, that means that if five months it twill be dead! Gulp! Is this really the case and if so can anything be done? Perhaps it can be...

How do you guys filter your hops? At present I pass my entire wort through a fine mesh sieve. I used to use a hop spider but read that it was better to let the hops flow about the wort by convection current.

Greg Hughes book arrived today. Some awesome recipes. In some of the recipes he recommends putting as much as 100g of Hops at flame out. What is the purpose of this and is it really necessary?

GW says that these are superior to liquid yeast as they are cultured under brewery like conditions. The directions for use are to make a 300ml starter, pour some into the vial, shake it to remove the yeast strains from the wort based medium and culture it up. I was just wondering but 300ml...

Great ones! A thousand greetings to you and yours. I have a question that needs some wisdom. I think that the best way to cultivate yeast is not from washing it off the trub or cultivating samples from the krausen but when making a starter. You make your starter and pour off a little before...

I suspect this has been asked before but i have searched the net and I am either blinded by science or the answers are so vague as not to give any insight or make references to books and authors that I have never heard of. Can someone help me get a handle on IBU's and the relationship they...
