    Dedicated Brew In A Bag (BIAB) Guide, Problems & Solution Thread

    I highly recommend a stainless mesh brew bag for larger brews. I tried to attached a photo, but I have no idea how to do it in this format. Preformed mesh, 0.3 mm wire at 0.55 mm openings, 304 stainless. 70 litre capacity. It holds its shape, even when full of wet grain.

    My First Sour Beer

    I use the Wyeast blend, and get great results after about 12 to 18 months. Extremes of temperature are good for this style, I keep mine in the garage, so it goes up to 30C in summer and down to 10 C in winter. I get great sourness, and a nice cantillion type flavour. Each batch is slightly...

    Wyeast Culture

    Yeast need oxygen to reproduce. Try to shake the yeast around as often as you can. I never put a seal or airlock on my starters, just a foil cap or cotton wool. Also if you didnt use malt to make up the starter you will be short of nutrients, and the yeast may mutate because of the sugar only...

    Hopburst American Ipa

    You could also try chinook hops- high alpha and lots of aroma. I just used them in my last IPA, but it is still fermenting, so I have not tasted the final result yet. Tasted good in the wort though.
