I frequently don't pitch until 12 hours in. I wouldn't be worried about 20 and even 40 would be fine. The idea is that even if a little something got in there, you're going to pitch a ton of yeast (relatively) and it will easily outcompete most odd action in there. Unless you get some brett in...

I'll take a stab... "Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and also new to all grain brewing. I've made a couple already using the BIAB method and they have turned out okay. But what I really need to understand is the science behind it in layman's terms, I.e as simple as can be explained. The...

Looks infected to me. I wouldn't panic. I'd get ahold of a sour beer that doesn't filter or sterilize the beer and pour some dregs into there and wait 6 months. (Jolly Pumpkin comes to mind, if you can get some.) You don't want some random strain running too far with it, you want to balance...

Also... You always hear about people whining and moaning about the woes of owning a house... but you rarely see people moving back into apartments.. or switching from owning to renting.

Actually... It could just be their local variant... Nose doesn't look as pointy

That's a German ICE train!

I think that goat looks a little too chill given his situation...

:off: I don't know. In my experience this has never been the case or I'd spare myself the hassle (even if it is slight). Though that could be the case on the mid to low end of the spectrum, but I only build myself a gaming rig every few years. And no off the shelf computers could keep up when...

Use a Johnson thermostat. Stick the sensor in a bottle of water with a shot of vodka. You should see it calm down alot.

I bought a 4 pack for a good price that had 10 15 20 and 35g. I never use them 10 Even though I make 5-6 gallon batches.
