We will be moving here soon and are looking into properties with out buildings like sheds and garages. I will convert one of these into a 15 gallon brewery. I would like an inline automated electric system with two temp contorlled conical fermenters. I have looked at stout tanks, ss brewing...

I am trying my first decoction with a pilsner. I brew in a 48 qt cooler mash tun and thought the Beersmith recommended amounts to decoct and boil seem low. 10.1 lbs grain decoct 6.74 qt to raise temp from 122 to 153... does this seem right? That is just one step but its the most amount...

Woke up this morning and found little white sports on top of my yeast starter. All were right about the same size. I don't use a stir plate I just swirl when I walk by in a 1 gallon jar. I didn't take a pic but my brew day isn't till Monday so I will if t happens again. Any ideas? Mold...
