Ahh yeah I was just worried about only using a quarter of a can per batch, I wasn't sure how being exposed to the atmosphere might affect it and if there was a risk of infection, but if you think it will work I'll give it a go. I used to store the hops in my homebrew drawer, even after...

Hey! I think you're probably right, also, initially I'd been storing my hops poorly and fermenting a bit too warm in light places, I suspect they were my biggest mistakes. My next brew is set to be a Big Wave clone recipe that has plenty of good reviews online, so I'm hoping for some success...

I started brewing about a year ago, I tried 3 of those big 40 pint kits but didn't have any luck at all, I don't think they were infected or anything, they tasted okay, just nothing special. After this I moved on to doing small 1 gallon BIAB batches, and I've done about 10 or so of these with...
