  Well, its been about 4.5 hours since I made my starter and there is some serious activity going
  on. The yeast are churning around and a foamy head is forming at the surface. They should be
  making thei...

  Should a starter show signs of life in less than 12hrs?I'm not sure mine have, though I have
  only made a few.Regardless, it makes sense to pitch a young starter rather than just rely on a
  single vial/...

• Posted in thread: Propane Burner Question on 01-22-2010 at 08:53 PM
  This may not be relevant to you but I have had experiences where the sequence of connecting the
  hose and opening the valves messes with the proper flow of the fuel. Not sure how or why. It
  tends to wo...

  A quick internets search yielded this: for your help!

• Posted in thread: Worn Corona plates. on 01-22-2010 at 03:52 AM
  I picked up another corona mill but the plates show significant wear. Many of the ridges have
  been flattened. I haven't used it yet but I'm wondering if the wear will screw-up a proper
  grind?Anybody h...

  I think you've tapped a whole new market here andynaj.The hop cones are excellent. I can
  imagine a goblet based on the hop cone theme. Wish i had some stuff to trade but I'm still

• Posted in thread: no bitterness after boiling in a hop bag on 12-15-2009 at 04:25 AM
  The bag works fine for me, or so it seems. My method is derived from someone(?) here. I clamp
  half of a 5gal paint strainer bag to the kettle edge and then, every so often, stir the hops in
  the bag wi...

• Posted in thread: Moved to Eugene, it's been hard to get back...... on 12-01-2009 at 06:53 PM
  I think Eugene's water is similarly soft (very) to Springfield. The Spfld. watermaster told me
  they do not use chloramines, only chlorine. Don't know about Eugene. I have been letting the
  water degas ...

  You don't need new friends, just brew a Kölsch. After three batches, I still get the same
  appreciative comments. I actually believe they like it :), and that's quite rewarding.

• Posted in thread: 50' or 25' immersion for 5 gal batches? on 11-05-2009 at 03:34 AM
  I built a 50' x 1/2" for my 5gal batches. It does work great but it is a couple of coils taller
  than my typical 5gals. Mine was wound close to 13" in diameter and will have to be modified to
  work in m...
