Just took one last gravity check before kegging after a 24 day primary and MAN is it clear! The fastest beer to clear I've done yet (not counting anything with s-04), not cloudy in the slightest. And...

Hey Bobojuice, just a quick question, why do you have the probe in a tiny bottle of water instead of attached to a keg? You could be having a problem with carbonation because you have a warmer temp...

Ha, ya, she wimped out halfway through the mash. Brew day went great, and it's bubbling away like the yeast are trying to air up a freaking tire.

Racking too soon and you could miss out on the yeast cleaning up after themselves or interrupting the ferment. Racking late won't hurt a thing- usually makes it better. When in doubt, let it sit.

I only use liquid or smack packs if it's a strain I can't get dry. Dry is easy, fast fermenting and cheap. And as for s-05, it's pretty much the same as 001 and 1056. I've brewed 1056 and s-05 next...
