look into making a hop spider super easy and cheap or buy one. gives them more room to float around quick and effective. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=457474

what kind of hop bag u use? i do a hop spider and large mesh bag and put a weigh to keep bag from floating up.and dump my hops in as the schedule goes.

im in to win.

i want in to win.

ok thanks. i check the gravity and bring temp up till i get back to 11 then lager more. hopefully theres enough yeast in secondary. thanks

Im now lagering and secondary I added cherry puree so my gravity went up a point so 11 to 12 brix. so with a month or so lagering should my gravity go back down to 11 before i bottle so im not making bottle bombs?

thought this was kinda crazy. http://gizmodo.com/this-paleo-beer-is-made-with-yeast-from-a-35-million-ye-1556229992

Ok looks like im at my final gravity or within a point I missed my 75% only been a week so must have had enough yeast. Temp stayed 50-51. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Home Brew mobile app

decided to go with the big starter so 2 step. 1 vial in each 2L per. will do that twice and should have enough yeast. according to brewersfriend link.

ill have to taste test see what a helles taste like. I though about doing multi step starter this week. and decant so not so much liquid and brew next weekend. think that work also? so was thinking regular starter 2 vials. then 2 days add another starter then 2 days cold crash and decant then...

ok I found mr malty calc and see just short of 2g for starter with 2 vials so yea sounds like your idea would be good. thanks for the info. id hate to kill a $50 batch due to not enough yeast.

finally about to brew this the weekend hopefully. heres recipe im using going to try out with the suggested wlp 833 or 860 recipe from http://byo.com/porter/item/283-brewing-doppelbock-tips-from-the-pros Alec’s Doppelbock (five gallons, all-grain) OG: 1.088 FG: 1.020 IBU: 22 11 lbs...
