Thanks for all that. Temperature restricted so low 60s is all I can do for now but have had good luck with cal lager yeast at those temps. I'm watching it closely and will take a hydrometer reading when I see the action stop and its cleared up a bit.

Bottle it! It wont be an IPA anymore but might be something great.

I'm fermenting a munich dunkel on the yeast from my last Schwarzbier and getting no bubbles from those blow off hose. One of those orange caps running into a gallon jug of San. I see action but no gas bubbles. Using wyeast cal lager yeast. Can you pitch another packet? Should I pitch the same...

I did know this. I have swing tops but plan to bottle several different size bottles. Around 10% abv expected so I can age it and not make such a commitment when I open it.

Thanks. I have 1.114 of. Hoping to be under 1.020 fg. That's why I am looking into extra enzyme info in case I don't reach that. Thanks for all the tips.

And I saw the same grey bits in my hot break. It's briess light pils dme.

What I've read is a little confusing. When and how would you add it? If style makes a difference, extract imperial stout.

Well brew day happened. Pitched starter and things are on track. Had lots more yeast than I started with. Have a 2000ml flask. Stir plate around $50. Not highest priority when starting out gathering equipment. Thanks for the tips

Packets are 100billion cells and recipe requires 322billion. Not sure how fast they reproduce.

Well I pitched 2 wlp001 into 1200ml. Think it normally would be 2000ml for 2 packets. Brewing imperial stout tomorrow and want to make sure there's plenty of yeast but not too much volume to change gravity. Thank you as always for your help

I heated it up slowly and made sure it was mixed thoroughly before taking it up to boil. It all settled to the bottom now. Can I still pitch the yeast?

I just boiled my starter for 2 min (4cups water, 1cup dme). Right at 2min it looked like hot break happening. And now have grey bits floating around in it. Is this normal?

Thanks for your input. OG 1.075-1.110 FG. 1.020-1.030 I haven't made a starter or repitched yeast yet.

Sorry. Couldn't get the picture of the recipe to show up on post. Pulse light lme. 12# " " dme 1# Black barley. 1.5# Special B. 1# Caramunich 55°L .5# Chocolate malt. .5# Pale choc malt. .5# Hops Horizon. 60min. 2oz Kent...

I'm brewing this recipe soon. Have all ingredients. Not confident in repitching yeast yet. Worried about attenuation and thinking about pitching 2 packets of wlpoo1. What would be the negative effects of this? Any tips would be appreciated.

Does the temperature of the steep in extract brewing effect final abv? I usually steep grains at 152° but want to make a big imperial stout and not finding temps and times.

I'm getting ready to brew this recipe. Did you find another yeast that worked out better?
