I've had a bit of a disaster. I accidentally pitched the yeast for my latest brew at 27°C with no way of cooling it down and now it's chugging away at 25°C a day later. The damage is already done, but has anyone else used M54 at high temperatures, and what was the result? I know California...

I'm planning on brewing a Russian Imperial Stout soon and can't decide what yeast to use. I'm aiming for about 10% so I need something that can take the alcohol without quitting on me. I've got WLP002, 005, and 013 earmarked, and I'll maybe pitch some US West Coast yeast in after a couple of...

Right... So since joining the homebrew forum and learning and sharing with you lot I've really got into taking pictures of beer and brewing etc. I post quite a few in the 'what are you drinking tonight' thread, and a few elsewhere, but I thought it might be nice to have a place to put all of my...

Hi guys, I've been wondering about different fermentable adjuncts, and what colours and flavours they impart on a finished brew. So far I've used glucose, honey, and homemade dark(ish) candi sugar, but I've seen all sorts mentioned here like golden syrup, maple, treacle etc. What's your...

I've got some leftover trub saved at home and was planning on making some bread tomorrow. Could I use the trub in place of yeast to make bread? Sounds like it could make some tasty bread to me.

I've made a batch of mango wine and have been aging it for a while now, 6 months-ish. It tastes good but I made a previous batch that I carbonated and it was sooo much better, like a pear cider almost. So my question is: If I prime each bottle (they're swing tops) would it start to ferment...
