Good luck!

I know this is an old thread, but I have some experience with the FTSs system that I think could be useful to others: Ambient temps up to 77, is a little warm for a lager...but I found the neoprene sleeve that comes with the FTSs system to be pretty effective. Here’s my recommendation if you...

A couple of thoughts: Your ABV is around 5% right now. That’s not crazy high, but I’ve read that alcohol can shock the cells of young yeast. Option 1 would be to try pitching the s-05 with a starter....give the yeast a chance to acclimate to alcohol before just throwing it in. It’s possible...

I bought the last one they had last week. They had to look in the back and found one for me. I drank it this weekend. I'm hoping mine comes close to it!

I'm interested in the progress of this endeavor...I'm following this thread. I may try brewing your most recent version soon. I'm doing brew-in-a-bag...I don't suspect that will have a significant affect on the result though. I'm starting by adding the recipe Beer Smith today.

Wahoo! Nice!

Yes, my favorite giveaway of the year!

Can't wait for mine to come! I got some Belgian beer glasses and a box of beer from Georgia....part of an exchange I do with a friend in Georgia every other month!

Saq's the Pious Please!

When I went all grain I did BIAB (brew in a bag). I've been brewing two years...about 30 total recipes so far and haven't regretted it.
