That little bit of time to make sure you don't boil it over pays off with an extra 5 gallons of beer.!!I just started doing 15 with 20 gal.pot but before last batch I never used Fermcap but I bought it to put in my starters and now I don't believe I never used it before.Its great. I can bring my...

No it doesn't work for that kind of stuff ,but you can sit across the kitchen and put the red dot on a 2 L flask and see it get to 211 so you can quick turn it down.Before it boils over.Find drafts on you windows!

I bought a cheapy infered thermometer out of a bin at Sears and I have got to tell everyone that it is the most useful thing in "MY" tool box.It seems to work perfect for carboy temps,starter,yeast packet everything .It has inproved my flow.!!! It has a little red dot and whatever you point it...

No, I do know how to brew a lager but the fact that my stepped up starters with wl833 were not looking healthy that I decided to go to wyeast munich lager .My starters if healthy and by the looks of them they were I figure I have close to 700 billion but I brewed a BIG beer and my concern is...

Made a 7.5 gal.batch of Celebrator+Dopple ,,Sg of 1.092! Extra 1/2 # maple sugar-1/2# DME -extra # 2 row and a good concoction mash, hit all steps then 156 for an hour. But my WL 833 starters did'nt do well last week so I quick got 3 packets of Wyeast Munich Lager and did 1 starter on the...

Had a little problem with overflow racking my 6 week old Gruagach Scottish ale from my 6 gal. carboy in to a corny keg .I purged the keg and started siphoning then I let it overflow and tilted it over and poured off a little so it was down to about the weld seem, put the lid on, sealed,and...

The problem is after stepping it up I still see no growth.But I have not checked SG as I didnt realize till it was dumped that the layer of yeast was 1/32" <,,,, less than it was before 24 hours on the stirplate.

2 WL833 no Psst at all? Now I am having a problem with starter growth.

Should all vials open with a PSST? WL833?

That said should I make one more 2L wort and pour on decanted yeast flask to just sit instead of chilling in fridge , while the other flask is on stirplate?

I Have been trying to step up 2 vials of WL 833 to do 7.5 gal. Celebrator dopplebock but I am starting to think something is wrong! First off my first 2L didn't have much 1/8" best yeast at the bottom after a day on the plate and a day of cold ??? Then I started to think I did not even get ANY...

I have made 3 dopplebocks with it before and it is anything but fast. You should be bringing the temp up a few degrees for a few days about 10degrees for a few days to rest and then let it slowly go back down to lager temp. I have a question for you ,when I used it I did 5 gal batches and...

Why dont you build up another 10 gallon cooler and run 2 mash tuns at the same time . I am also at that same stage but I am not sure what to do about my other cooler that only holds 10 gals. and i will need more like 13 gal. of hot water .But it would be cool to have 2 tuns draining at the same...

Since I bought a 20 gal. brew pot I have been doing 10+ gallon batches and splitting them in half into 2 6-1/2 gal. carboys.I do a 2000ml starter with O2on a stirplate at least a full day maybe 2 days before starting with 1 vial of yeast.I have been noticing that one fermentation everytime...

I would think about 30

I have a slightly used 10 gal.blichman -thermo-sight glass-3 pcs.valve -lid in SE PA , Looking to buy a 20 gal. so i would like 200 + shipping Larry

My 10 gallon is at the curb! I am going to buy a 20 on Sunday.

I guess I am just rambling ! I follow what your sayingbut I am just weary of a faster yeast .My brew went perfect ---Alesmith IPA recipe Grains 152@90 min----boil 90 min--------F Flight bittering -flavoring and aroma---counterflow to carboy @68-------Had a San Diego Super 2000ml...

What I mean is it seems the faster San Diego yeast just might make it (too) clean.
