I know this is FOREVER ago, but wondering if aruturo7 or anyone else used either of these materials and how they worked.

I know this was a while ago, but wondering if you used either of these and how it's stood up to flame?

Because it was sold through amazon and not by amazon exchanging it is impossible. I ended up just returning it (they paid shipping because it came damaged) with the intention of ordering one again when I was credited back the money. Then the next day I found myself in a restaurant supply store...

I'm also interested in the induction setup, if for no other reason than to have an indoor option here in NJ when it's 20 degrees outside (like right now) that isn't my stove. I'll have to check out the BYO article. I need to do research on what kind of wattage I'll need, but in general it...

Founders and Shorts Great Lakes Surprised to see so much love for Three Floyds, going to have to check it out next time I'm back near Chicago. I'm also realizing I should be ashamed I haven't had any Firestone Walker yet. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My 4th batch was the first I was willing to share with others. 5th made more progress, and I'm still waiting to see how 6 and 7 turn out. I jumped straight in to all grain BIAB so the first batch was not only a bad recipe that I cobbled together from threads on here but was probably destined...

Ok, this was three years ago, but how'd it turn out with the higher mash temp and more crystal? Have you learned anything more since then?

I had the same problem, too. Mine stopped at 1.021, so I actually pitched some Notty I had harvested and it took off again. I ended at 1.010, with is now a little dry and has little body. Not sure if it stopped because I didn't use a yeast starter or if it got too cold (I've since put...

I ordered an 8 gallon without fittings (Update International), and it just came today. It's a really nice SS pot, but it unfortunately came with a huge dent in the side. Returning for a replacement...

I'm looking at buying an 8 gallon Update International pot from them soon ($85 and free shipping with Prime). Have you gotten this yet?

I don't know a ton about brewing water chemistry, but I used to work at a pool store and did a lot of water chemistry work there. What I can contribute is that pool alkalinity increaser is sodium bicarbonate--baking soda. So as long as more sodium isn't a problem with your water, it's a great...

Yoopers oatmeal stout! Have a friend coming over for his first brew. Hoping to light the burner in the next half hour. Unfortunately I came down with a cold/flu last night. This should get interesting. Hopefully I can think straight.

Hey no worries Yoop, thanks. Found out this afternoon I had to go today if I wanted to brew Friday. I'm interested to see how the brown affects it. Sad to not experience the beauty of the pale chocolate malt though.

Went with S04, and the choc malt/brown malt combo to replace the pale choc. Brewing Friday, I'll let everyone know how it turns out!

LHBS doesn't have the pale chocolate malt and are recommending a mix of brown malt and chocolate malt as subs. Yooper, do you have any other suggestions? This is my first stout and Don't have a great grasp on the darker malts yet. They also don't have wyeast, but have pretty much all of white...

Back to the OP's question. Have you seen this thread? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/yeast-washing-illustrated-revisited-318684/ Down a ways he says "+ You can use jars, tubes, & vials as small as you can get with an extra step of decanting, but leaving a slight bit of water to swirl the...

Similar question, I have some Nottingham yeast that I recently rinsed and saved. Anyone have any wisdom they can share about how that will compare to 1335 and if it'd be something to try vs. buying 1335? Also, re: time in bottles, sounds like 1 month minimum and it hits its stride around 2-3...
