What is the consensus on kegging this in regards to adding the caramel/cinnamon mixture? If it all sinks to the bottom then I find it pointless, right? What if I made the mixture and boiled it while keeping it thin so that it doesn’t sink to the bottom. I also considered throwing in...

It’s always within the first 5 hours or so that it just freakin foams like hell. I don’t have a problem with it while boiling the wort. It’s when it’s on the stir plate that it foams like hell. It foams so much that I don’t see how even a 5L flask will stop it, but I’m gonna try a 1 gallon...

I need a few corny kegs. Also looking to buy a chest freezer big enough for 3 corny kegs.

What the hell. I thought I was doing the right thing by buying the more expensive Pyrex brand one. Max marked at 1.8L. I guess I’ll have to buy a 5L flask. However, I feel like these starters will bubble and foam until eternity and the flask size won’t make a difference....

Why is it that every single time I make a yeast starter, it foams up and overflows. I’m using a 2L flask and from a 1L starter to a 2L starter it overflows. I’ve used fermcap and it still overflows. What’s the point in having a stir plate if every single time it overflows and makes a mess. I...

That’s reassuring thanks. Was hoping I didn’t waste everything.

Thanks I emailed them a little bit ago.

It’s the bells house yeast. Ordered from Bells online store.

I just dumped a packet of imperial yeast into my starter/flask. I noticed specks of black that looked like pepper. Looking in the bottom of the yeast packet I saw more of it at the bottom. I pored in some water to try and get it out which I took a picture of on the plate. Is this mold or do...

Ok sounds good guys thanks. It was originally from an amount of left over oversized starter I made and then stirred up with about 100g of dme. Thanks again as always.

I don’t have another mason jar to measure a similar amount so I can tell how many milliliters of yeast I have. Is this enough for a 5 gallon batch around 1.050? I just made this on a stir plate about a week ago. It’s the jar in the left. I have since bought glass jars with measurements on...

Hahaha, no but I may as well have.

I get it letting them stay wet while adding the wort and yeast and whatnot, but my concentration of starsan was way too high to begin with. Doesn’t sound like there’s any way to fix this without fermcap so a lesson learned I guess.

It’s the same type of foam as when I use starsan. It looks nothing like any kraeusan I’ve had before.

I realized that I put in too much starsan when I sanitized my flask. Now my starter keeps overflowing with starsan foam. It’s only a 1 liter starter in a 2 liter flask. I ordered fermcap s already because I was so annoyed. I had it on a stir plate, but had to take it off because it was so...
