  If you guys are already out of grains I'm impressed! Or maybe I just bought too much. LOL

  I agree Hopslam is good but it's over-hyped. My sister travels to Vermont frequently and is
  going to bring me back a 4 pack of Heady Topper. I suspect it will be good but also over hyped.

  I'm going to put it back on the stir plate and see if we get fermentation in a day or two in
  the starter. If not I'll just chuck it and start over with a fresh vial from the hbs.First

  What about brewing, pitching and if it isn't going in a couple days just stop at the homebrew
  store and grab another yeast tube and pitch it in as well?

  fermentation mea...
