  Thanks! Not really too worried but was thinking that ale yeasts are top fermenters, and so much
  seemed to shoot out the top that it got me thinking. It's humming along pretty decent now at
  65. Hope it...

  When you did the step up and lost a bunch of yeast did you end up with enough for a good
  beer?As for what was I thinking? I asked myself that question after I did it but figured it was
  too late once I...

  Last week I prepped a 2L starter of white labs cal ale yeast planning to brew an IPA. Stuff
  came up and I had to postpone my brew day a week. I let the starter run 48 hours and stuck it
  in the fridge....

  Is the tower of power from blichmann the only out of the box solution for a rims setup or are
  there others out there to compete with the ToP?

  . I feel like I'm in the same boat. I've modified kegs and added selfless fittings. But wiring

  Glad to he...

  Dcbc,That's one great setup! Are those tower of power controllers you have mounted on the
  bottom shelf? The more I've been reason up lately to make my next brewery upgrade with the MLT,
  I don't think ...

  Can it be as simple as flame on the bottom of the pot, pump out the bottom from below the false

  First time poster, long time reader. Can’t thank all of you enough for the amazing information
