What did I do wrong here. I brewed in a bag, used the calculations on this site to get my volumes and temps. I ended up with 10 gallons of wort for my 6.6. So I used the volumes from the site. Mashed for 60 minutes at the 152*. Sparged with the amount it said for 10 minutes. i pressed the...

I did my first stepped up starter...had a little blow off on second step. I put it in the fridge...should the yeast cake be larger than after the first step? I did a 1.25l first step and 2l second step.

So...first time stepping up a yeast starter. I probably filled this a little too much, but i tried to get all the wort i could into it. put it on the stirplate, apparently it's so strong it doesn't care that it's getting stirred. It started to overflow, and the attached image is what i cam up...

I have a 2L flask, I expect to decant and the yeast cake will still be at the bottom of that flask. When I make the new wort, can I pour the wort into the flask ontop of the yeast? I would imagine it doesn't matter.

So saw a commercial for this. What does anyone think of using this for Partial Mashing? Get a 3 Gallon Stainless Steel Pot, set to 153 degrees, let it sit for an hour. Anyone think this would work? It says that it can hold upto 50lbs. :confused:

So I picked up fridge and my little space heater (awaiting on ebaytemp controller to arrive). For the space heater, how should I run the cable, I assume just closing the door on the cable is what everyone does? If i do this door still closes solidly, but a little bump where cable comes out...

Is a 1000ml flask large enough to do a 1 liter starter with 2 packets of Wyeast (the smack packs)?

So I was thinking of picking up a cheap fridge off craigslist and getting a ferment chamber going. My question is: I get the Johnson Controller, but doesn't that only control one device? Say I have a belgian going that needs to be fermented at 75, so the fridge would cool (the johnson...

So I have a beer that hopville calculates should be 1.085 OG, now looking at the Wyeast Lab Pitch Rates (http://www.wyeastlab.com/hb_pitchrates.cfm) shows a beer of this OG should have >18 Million Cells/ml. Judging by what info I think is correct a Smack Pack of Wyeast Ardennes is about 6...
