  What kind of water do you brew with? I have well water (hard) and a water softener. When I used
  my softened water to brew with I got some off and sometimes soapy flavors. Thru my research I
  have since...

• Posted in thread: How fast will firkin warm up? on 07-31-2008 at 08:10 PM
  I prefer to serve it a little cooler because it warms up in the glass pretty fast. My kegerator
  is set at 45 degrees and I've found that by the time you pour it into a room temp glass and
  hold the gla...

  I use the Fermcap-S in my boil kettle and it works great. I use about 10 drops in 7 gallons of
  wort, so I'm sure you wouldn't need more than a drop or two in your starter.

  label. I have started using much less. It works just as good and is much easier to rinse.

  In my experience that is not normal. I'm not sure what burner you have, but I can bring 4
  gallons of water to a boil in about 15 minutes with my cheap 65000 btu burner and thin pot. I
  usually get abou...

• Posted in thread: Making the jump soon. How does this look for starters? on 07-07-2008 at 06:16 PM
  I use a similar setup. The only problem is the pot is just barely big enough, but that is a
  good place to start. You can always get a bigger pot later and still use the burner.

  Bleach will pit stainless steel if left in contact too long. I'm not sure how long too long is
  so I use oxyclean then star san on mine.

• Posted in thread: Yeast Starter Temp on 07-03-2008 at 02:16 PM
  That temp will be fine with that yeast. It will produce more esters, so you may want to cool it
  down to let the yeast settle and decant the liquid.
