Has anyone looked into isolating wine yeasts for the mystery yeast? I would suggest lalvin qa23 or uvaferm 228.

You are right about that. I was wrong about the antioxin. The post that suggested that on another board is clearly speculation. I apologize for reading that as fact and posting it here.

The color issues of their recipe someone mentioned at some point in this thread and the sulfur of Heady are both because of Low Oxygen brewing. Antioxin in particular. Low oxygen brews can have a 20 percent lighter color than expected and sulfur is a sometime byproduct of sodium metabisulfite.

This thread has been one of the best I have read in a while. A few people planned to ferment using the split yeast. Has anyone finished out their fermentation yet? I would love to hear the results. Oops, there was a response that came in as I wrote this!

I highly recommend the hopblocker as opposed to a spider. My ipa's were much more pronounced with free floating. The spider I used tended to create a glop in the strainer bag that didn't utilize the hops fully.

Thanks Bigscience, I hope there are others that can contribute to this conversation.

Is this in the wrong forum?

How different were your brews after using your hopback? I am considering picking one up but can't figure out if a hopstand is as effective.

I am in search of one. This list would be a great tool. I think the igloo 4.6 would fit a carboy. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-4.6-cu.-ft.-Refrigerator-and-Freezer-Black-FR464/15162430

Good luck to everyone, especially me! I am in! :rockin:

I am following this one, I would love to do this to my mash tun

Did I see a Dos Equis, natural light, bud light, bud strawberry?, modelo and Corona in this thread?

thanks guys, I think the replies have steered me to pick up a monster mill.

I am finally going to make the jump and buy my own mill and buy bulk grain. Is it ok to go cheap or is it worth it to buy a more expensive one. Should I lay out 250+ for a grain gobbler or is it ok to get a schmidling or barley crusher.
