Awesome, thanks for the answers. I will go the pressure canning way.

Just q quick semi- off topic questions. Anyone have any reasons why the no-rinse sanitizers for home-brew wont work in canning? I am canning up some pumpkin to save for a pumpkin ale later and figure why not use the no rinse since I know the jars are clean.

I work nights, so I love watching the transition in my tank from when my halides turn off through my dusk/dawn cycle to the moonlights. A couple of brews only makes it better. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2078667 Spam hope you dont mind my posting your reef central...

Well the report is in. I repitched last night when I got home from work since there had still been no activity. This morning the fermentation was in full swing. Thanks for the help :)

I found the site through Google. The wealth of information here is incredible, and so helpful. I'm definitely not going anywhere

Yea only 1 pack. I will give it until tomorrow and then try a second pack.

Sounds good thanks. Hahaha this is harder for me to figure out than my reef tank rofl.

I honestly dont know for sure, it was lukewarm to the touch. Think I cooked them?

Something that just crossed my mind. I had sprayed down the measuring cup I used to rehydrate with (easy clean) no rinse cleanser. I had poured off all excess fluid and then filled and hydrated the yeast. Could the remaining no rinse have killed my yeast?

I used Safale-05 dry yeast, and re-hydrated it before pitching it.

Hi all, I am brand new to this whole thing, and I am sure that there is someone else who has asked this in the past but I didn't see it. Just brewed up a batch of Brandon O's Graff Cider with home pressed apple juice. Initial Gravity was 1.056 3 days ago, I pitched the yeast 3 days ago...
