I'm in rochester, may be interested!

FWIW, I really love the MW102.

yeah full hour boil, volumes are correct above. thank you guys.

would you agree that I can use my pre boil OG safely as a benchmark to get an estimated ABV?

I'm not sure how I've done this process 5 times with OYL-605 and never had this issue,but first time using goodbelly I did? Either way, enough for me to just spend the extra money on the OYL-605. Really appreciate the input/science.

figured this out, have found other instances where people used probiotics and saw it eat tons of sugar. also someone did a test with OYL-605 which produces almost no gravity drop. bcak to OYL-605 for me

just found this stat which leads me to belive the 2 packs of straight shot goodbelly didn't have 150billion cells of lacto. wonder if this would make it eat WAY more sugar to produce a lower PH??

lacto eats sugar to create lactic acid, aka bring the PH down. I've never had OYL-605 which is a legit yeast company's lacto, eat that much sugar. this time I used goodbelly probiotics, and had a much different result.

sorry to kick up an old thread but got no response on my post. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/goodbelly-ate-insane-amount-of-sugar.660229/ can anyone shed any insight? TL;DR: Tried goodbelly for the first time as kettle sour lacto. After boil my gravity was down to 1.027 from...

So I've been making some very solid kettle sours prior to trying good belly. I was using OYL-605 Decided to try Goodbelly this team around as it is so much cheaper than yeast, and due to not having yeast on hand. Anyways, gravity before adding any goodbelly was 1.056 for 6 gallons. After 3...

TOTALLY in

definitely in, thanks!

Thanks man!!

I appreciate all your input AJ. Is there a meter better than the MW102 for the price, or is that the best one in your opinion? I would like the leisure of just cooling my sample, and taking the PH. The one my buddy let me borrow was a 102 and it was so simple.
