    Historical Beer: Sahti Sahti (Finnish Juniper Ale) -- 1st Place Cat. 23, 2nd place Best in Show

    Provided the expense is manageable, I'd be interested in enough for a 5 gallon batch. Thanks!

    Problem with Porter coloring

    You can also use a darker malt extract if you didn't mind ordering it. http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/northern-brewer-dark-malt-syrup.html

    Just got BeerSmith Lite on my Android!

    So far I like the app and am looking forward to the full version. One thing I'd like to see is for the numbers keyboard to automatically come up when I'm using the tools. Right now mine comes up with the normal letters keyboard and I have to keep switching to the numbers.

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    Yep - looks like I might have even harvested a bit too much. It's coming in around 180mL. I'll leave a little bit behind and that should do it. Thanks for all the help.

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    Racked the prior beer to secondary and going to cold crash it. This is a kolsch yeast, and I fermented the last beer around 60F. So for my beer, should I try to drain off that liquid part in the middle and just shake up what's left and pitch the amount Mr. Malty says?

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    So, heading to the homebrew shop in a couple hours. Does the yeast in the pic look useable today, or should I just buy some smack packs?

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    Yeah, that was like 5 min. after I harvest. The pillowy stuff is krausen, I think. There was still some krausen in the carboy - kolsch yeast. Posting another pic soon.

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    Hmm...brewing tomorrow night. So not really a whole lot of time to let it sit. Maybe I'll drop the slider to thin in that case.

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    Ok, so rack the beer off the cake, swirl what's left in the carboy and pour off the liquid part, let that sit in a jar for a bit and then decant off the clearish liquid, shake what's left, and pitch the right ML amount of that stuff? Just want to make sure I'm following. If I had the stuff for a...

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    So I should drop that calc down to around 10-15% then as long as it's not a brownish color. And without diluting with any water, can I just shake the cake loose and dump it in a sanitized jar and measure out however many ml the calculator recommends? I'm guessing that I should keep the slider...

    Mr. Malty Non-Yeast Percentage

    If I were to siphon a beer off a cake in a 6g carboy, break up the cake, and dump that thick slurry into a jar, does anyone know about how much non-yeast material would be in there? I didn't dry-hop, so it would only be the break material and yeast in there. I'm trying to figure out how much of...

    Mash Water Calcs - Am I right?

    Thanks for all the help guys. So, I more or less had success w/ Saturdays brew (we'll see what the finished product is like). Things I learned: 1. Don't forget to pre-heat the tun. I forgot, and had to add more water to hit my temps. 2. My efficiency is more than 70%. It's somewhere in the 75%...

    This is basically what I ended up doing. Thanks for the help.

    Mash Water Calcs - Am I right?

    At any rate, I think I'm sticking w/ the boiling additions, because I'm worried I'll run out of space in the MLT. Should I be doughing in thicker for the protein rest than 1.5 qt/lb?
