Assuming the 16 oz jar is the slurry and the bottom 8 oz layer (50%) is yeast solids, using the Wyeast formula below, I get an estimate of 284 billion yeast cells. 8oz = 237ml 237ml yeast solids x 1.2 billion = 284 billion cells (at harvest date) Using Homebrew Dad's Yeast Starter Calculator...

Looking for one of these old style shut off valves

I just bought one of these: https://www.build.com/taprite-t742hp/s1303376?uid=3097852 Nice regulator, good price and free shipping. It looks like they're going quick. I have no affiliation with the seller. Just passing it along. Cheers

I have a liter of freshly harvested WLP1007 and an inventory of grain I'd like to use before my next order. I've never brewed a Biere De Garde but it looks like a candidate. Here's what I'm thinking - Comments?

Anybody have any experience with them? https://starbeveragesupply.com/ They also sell on ebay

First off, I have 10 pin lock that I have been using for years and not intested in changing now. All of my disconnects have the metal collars and have never had a leak or failure. Some are original Coke branded. Nearly all of the pin lock disconnets currentlty sold by ventors have the plastic...

I kegged 10 gallons of Festbier lager yesterday. 1800 ml fermenter dregs settled to 1000 ml yeast slurry (four 8 ounce jars.) I'm tempted to do another Festbier while this one lagers for a month. I can tell already, this one is going to go fast.

This is WLP029 harvested 2 days ago and refrigerated. Is the milky white bottom layer the yeast? Being a hybrid yeast, does it settle differently?

Has anyone had any experience with this vendor? https://www.howdybrewer.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLShBhC_ARIsAFod4fL10hW7HeNJsDMXwZo97EBgD9rIMeNM0NkAzBjMnp_-LjUh_43blKcaAmcYEALw_wcB

Where can I find these for 16" sight gauge?

I plumbed and tested my grant today. Passed the test with flying colors. I still need to get a strainer for the bottom.

Does anybody have a source other than Blichmann for the fine screen and gasket? The kit which includes the dome screen is $46.00 plus shipping. I only need the flat round screen and the gasket. If i can come up with the screen, is there a Mcmaster Carr # for the gasket?

Picked these up this morning from my favorite local brewery freshly harvested. I did not realize they get about 30 gallons of slurry from 20BBL. They harvest and re-pitch lager yeast 3 times or within 2 weeks whichever comes first. I've got 10 gallons of Schwarzbier and Helles coming up...

The worksheet profile for RO water is shown below. I assume these values will vary based on the efficiency of the RO process. For example, PRIMO RO water is labeled 0g sodium. Calcium. Magnesium. Sodium...

I use these for fermenters. I mostly brew ales and occasionally lagers. For the lagers, I have a refrigerator controlled by a Johnson A419. In the past, I have taped the probe to the outside of the fermenter insulated with several layers of bubble wrap. Would a thermowell through the lid...

Can rehydrated dry yeast be used to make a large starter?

I fermented a porter using US-05 and some Fullers strain I had. I harvested the yeast from the secondary just in case. We'll, the porter turned out great. After letting the slurry settle in a gallon jug, I decanted all but 2 pints. There are three layers in the jars. Since Fullers is very...

I have some fresh yesterday US-05 slurry from a local craft brewery. Tomorrow I'm brewing 10 gallons of 1.069 IPA. I have always made 3 liter starters from liquid yeast and decanted before pitching. How much slurry do I need for a 3 liter starter? Or can I make a smaller starter?

Looking for a recipe Thanks
