I didn't make a starter in either case and realize it is a good idea but, it is not critical. This can be debated all day I know but, I should have seen at least some sort of activity. I got them all from Midwest. The dates were well within the range that they should be. I bought them during...
I had the same issue with London Ale yeast. Brewed on Monday and 72 hours later still nothing. This is the second batch I have lost in a row. Both times I used Wyeast London Ale and Wyeast Czech Pils. The first batch never ever fermented. The packs did not swell and it states on the website that...
I have the same problem and was wondering the same thing about the heat loss in the hoses. In Lonnie's Brutus Ten 1 video I noticed that he isn't recirculating during the mash at all. At least during the clips he is not.

I ended up grinding the FB down to allow for silicone tubing to be wedged in.
This ended up being a happy accident as there is no way channeling can be taken into effect...
Sorry for the delay in responding to you all..........
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank very much it has been fun so far. I cannot wait to keep the brews going.
Thanks John.
I really like the cam locks a lot. They are 1/2 inch. I used a combination of the letters...
