Commercial Beer Reviews / Re: Let's talk southern tier
« on: May 25, 2012, 10:12:01 AM »
Al, You seriously need to try to get Ft. Lewis as your next duty station. The class six has a microbrew room, not to mention being within 200 miles of somewhere around 400 breweries.
But, regarding southern tier. I like all of the regular beer I have had from them. However, once they start going off the beaten path, it gets too sweet and usually not drinkable.

I felt that needed to be added, because The Head and the Heart is that awesome, and not enough people have heard them.
And back to the regularly scheduled thread...

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: Pitch a full yeast packet for a half batch?
« on: May 22, 2012, 05:32:31 PM »
I agree with gsandel on pretty much everything he said. I would just buy 2 batches of yeast and pitch a packet in each beer.
Also, as a person who started homebrewing not too long ago, I would recommend making 5 gallon batches if you can for a while, until you get your pipeline going. At 5 gallons, it took me 4 batches in 4 weeks to get to the point where I had enough beer in the pipeline that I could drop down to 1-2 brews a month. Obviously this depends on how much you drink, and how much your friends start drinking once they realize you make good beer.

I am throwing out a guess here, but since I can't think of a hefeweizen that is much higher than 1.060, I would guess you still have sanitary wort, and I would follow big chicken's advice and throw a pack of WB-06 or another cheap dry yeast in the wort. Worst case, you lost a few more dollars and best case, you have a drinkable beer.
