  I think if I'm careful, I may be able to avoid oxidation. Keeping the end of the hose submerged
  once the receiving vessel starts to fill will help reduce splashing. And hopefully the pressure
  from the...

  I'm looking for a self-priming pump that can pump fermented beer from my basement to the first
  floor (about a 25ft lift). The beer will be non-carbonated and unfiltered. It'll be at around
  room temper...

  I thought someone would've already made a thread about this, but I couldn't find any using the
  search function.Anyway, I LOVE Great Lakes Oktoberfest, but I can't seem to find a clone recipe
  for it an...

  I ordered some 2x2 stainless mesh (.063" wire diameter) from McMaster. I'll let you know how it
  works. Thanks for the advice!

  Anyone?

  I just got my new electric brewing kettle. It's a 15g Blichmann boilermaker with a 4500W
  heating element in the bottom. I do 5g and 10g boils in it, sometimes extract w/ grains and
  sometimes all-grain...

  65-68 degrees would be the ambient (room) temperature. My fermentations usually only increase
  the temperature of the wort by 1-2 degrees. I appreciate the information about the two yeast
  strains. I'm ...

  Well if Fermentis says it's no good at ale temps I'm not sure why you'd assume any different.
  If you have an aversion to swamp coolers, then can you lager at all? If not, why are you trying
  to make a ...

  I don't want to mess with the swamp cooler technique, but thanks for the advice. I just want to
  know if my beer will end up tasting bad if I use W-34/70 at ale temperatures.

  I trying to brew something similar to a lager, but I don't have lagering capabilities. I can
  only ferment at 65-68 degrees. I'd like to use an actual lager yeast, not a steam beer yeast
  and I was look...
