I've had similar experiences with Windsor yeast. Seems that it gets cranked up quickly, chews like hell for a day, then slows down a lot. You definitely should warm it up a bit, and maybe give it a swirl. Don't expect it to get down real low though. It is not a high attenuating strain...

I've stayed low tech here as well. Spent the most of my money keeping yeast happy, and even then I've kept it to a minimum. The results are in, and it's been worth every penny!

I've never tried a pre chiller, but I do use the ice water recirc method thru my IC. I have a pond pump in a 5 gal bucket that I just cover with water, then dump a bag of ice on top...hook the pump to the IC, and let the outlet recirc back to the bucket. I only hook this up once the temp has...

I find that the Notty doesn't attenuate quite as much as the US-05, so you may find that your finished brew will be just a touch sweeter/maltier than you normally get. It does tend to take off pretty quickly, and it also will finish quickly, at least as compared to US-05. It also tends to floc...

My vote would be to leave it down there, based on my experience with that same beer. Mine stays in the ferm chamber from start to finish at about 66F, and turns out delicious. I will say that this is only with US-05...haven't brewed it with S-04. Pull a gravity sample, and taste it. If it's...

+5 gal Cascade Pale Ale = 8595 Gallons

Actually, HBUSA will sell you the specialty grain by the ounce...at least over here in the Hampton store they will...I've had them actually open a 1# bag to give me 4oz for a recipe...plus, they offer 10% off for AHA membership. I priced this up, and with the discount it came to just under 38...

I have the same mill, and with my gap set at .035, my mash efficiency (per BS) is consistently between 75 and 76%, and I've never had any sparge issues. One of my recipes goes over 80%, and it is consistent as well. Love my cereal killer!

3383 + 5 House Brown Ale = 3388

Not a westie here...in fact just the opposite. I'm in Hampton, VA near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Now if I can ever get my HF antenna back up and in working order... 73, Jim K8SI (BTW the 8-land call is from my hillbilly days in WV)

In for the win!

At what I.D.?

Agree. A net would be cool...and I have the same problem here...HF antenna is (mostly) down. Need to rebuild. 73! K8SI

I'm an Amateur (Ham) radio operator.

Got two here and zero issues. (Plastic)

Got a kit for doing 1-gal test batches and an oxygenation set-up (wand, stone, tubing, regulator). Other stuff too, but that was the beer-related stuff...all that I ask for! Now...what recipe to try first....

Old Rasputin RIS...WOW! First time I've ever had this one...WOW! Roasty, toasty, a little dark fruit, nice residual warming on the finish from the alcohol, nice mouthfeel...awesome stuff!
