    Yeast starter did not start, ok to reboil, pitch fresher yeast?

    I'm beginning to see some life but it's pretty sparse. I'm also noticing an off-putting odor - almost vinegar-like (it is faint). So I think it's time to dump this mess down the drain and pretend it never happened. Thanks everyone for your input!

    Yeast starter did not start, ok to reboil, pitch fresher yeast?

    an·cient1 ˈān(t)SHənt/ adjective 1. belonging to the very distant past and no longer in existence. :mug: Sorry, couldn't resist. This yeast was about 2 years old, forgotten in the back of my fridge. I figured it was worth a shot. It has been about 50 hours since I pitched the...

    Yeast starter did not start, ok to reboil, pitch fresher yeast?

    I made a starter with some ANCIENT Wyeast 1056 that I pitched 48 hours ago. So far it seems to be dead. So..... can I re-boil this wort and pitch fresh yeast? I only ask because of course I'm out of DME and was planning to brew this weekend. TIA!

    Danby DAR044A1BDD kegerator build

    Yay! Two STANDARD (not low-profile) kegs will fit side-by-side, though they have to be staggered slightly. The door obviously needs to be gutted still. These kegs are about 8-1/4" diameter by 25" tall (though they are advertised as being 8-1/2" in dia). There is 4" of headspace in the fridge...

    Danby DAR044A1BDD kegerator build

    I have a low-profile keg (9-inch dia.), and it is obvious that 2 of them will not fit. So I've ordered a couple of used standard corny's (8-1/2 dia) after messing around placing two 8-1/2 cardboard circles on the floor of the fridge to try to visualize if this will work. I am 95% sure this will...

    Danby DAR044A1BDD kegerator build

    I just got this fridge today, and I'm freaking out because I didn't realize that this newer design has plastic slots for the shelving that project into the interior space, effectively making the usable width about 1/2" to 3/4" narrower than the prior model. Were you able to fit 2 standard (not...

    I just got this fridge today. The depth of the floor is 10-1/4 inches. You would definitely have to remove the door panel because there is a bottom projection that sticks into the fridge about 2 inches. This panel is held in with adhesive, not screws. :mad: I have a BB 5-gallon carboy that is...

    Played the internet keg lottery- did I lose?

    Thanks for the link here! I hear what you're saying and I'm not worried about using these posts. I am in contact with AIH to try to identify them so I know what I would need in the future should I need to replace them (as well as what kind of poppits to use). Based on your link and other...

    Played the internet keg lottery- did I lose?

    I'm a new member and just found this thread. I'm a newbie to kegging, and today I also received a Doosan keg from AIH as part of a starter kit. My issue/confusion is that BOTH of the post nuts have grooves (the "IN" has 1 groove and the "OUT" has 2 grooves). I contacted AIH and they are trying...
