Home brew

I know there are some other home brewers on here; Bwana and TJ for starters.

I'm brewing my first batch ever today. It's a German wheat. Looking forward to tasting this bad boy in about a month!

I’ve had this problem before so I’m curious what more experienced brewers think.
Not everyone would agree with me, but I'd get another vial of White Labs and pitch it.
If you guys want to see a batch damn near explode within hours of pitching, start planning your schedules and use the yeast cakes from your previous batch. Then place it in an area with a lot of towels around.

That’s a possibility, I’m pretty sure the Bacchose Barleycorn store has WL yeast on hand, although I’d probably create a live pitch with some nutrients or sweet wort. I just like seeing yeast activity before I pitch it.

I’ve thought of doing that before but don’t brew often enough to keep yeast cultures going.

We always had such active ferments that an airlock definitely wouldn't do the trick. We always had to use blow off tubes and sometimes it would still get messy.

LOL, I know what you mean. Of course I could pass the time planning my next brew. Got any favorite extract recipes you'd like to share?

This is by far my favorite recipe kit.
It’s an IPA with bold flavor and body, just the way I like it.

It is, if you brew for convenience your wasting time.
If you brew for cost savings, your saving a little but considering the time involved, along with start up equipment cost, your not saving that much.
If you brew for any other reason than the pleasure of drinking, or letting your friends sample, your own quality hand crafted brews you’ll be disappointed.
But who am I talking to here, grab some PBR and call it good.

Exactly what I hope to get out of it.

BTW, when I left the house, the airlock was bubbling furiously!

I counted the bubbles last night and was getting around 180 a minute. This morning they were coming too quickly to even count.

Good, getting a nice layer of foam on top? See yeast particles swirling furiously turning sugars into alcohol? This is my favorite part, next to drinking it.
