Looks nice. I use masking tape and a black Sharpie to keep track of how many pints I pour.

Worked fine. Did take 24 hours for the WLP002 to take off, but that’s most likely because the yeast pack was a few days shy of being 6 months old.

So I was getting ready to brew this weekend and realized I have no DME for my starter and no LHBS within an hour’s drive. I do have, however, some Breiss LME that I bought last fall that my wife uses to boil her bagels in before she bakes them. Originally it was a light Pilsner extract, but...

Wlp090, San Diego Super Yeast. Great alternative to Chico. Fast, floculent, clean.

I think it was a #13 I got at Home Depot. 11/16 inside diameter, 7/8 outside diameter. Comes in 10 packs for $2.50 or so.

I just put a new O ring on mine yesterday. Solved the same problem.

I’ve got a 6.5 gallon batch of Vienna lager going now with WLP833 in a SS Brewtech fermenter. Didn’t need a blowoff tube.

Yet another reason to overbuild your starters.

When I bottled, I used the Avery 3/4” round labels on the bottle cap, like others have already mentioned.

My BME brewbucket's three years old and about 30+ batches. Yesterday I finally took the ball vallve and thermowell apart when I did a deep clean to remove the beerstone buildup. The ball valve didn't have any gunk in it, looked like it did when it was new. All I normally do is fill the...
