I have harvested yeast and filled test tubes with 50% yeast 25% water and 25% glycercine. I want to freeze, but in the fridge I am getting 3 distinct layers. Even after I shake it, it separates pretty quickly. Has enough glycercine been absorbed into the yeast to go ahead and freeze even...

Thanks everyone for your help. Good info! Overnight they separations are more clear and looks like nice creamy yeast on the bottom.

Hello, I obtained a flask separator from a friend to try and harvest yeast. From the one video I was able to find(on the flask method), the person showed the bottom layer as the yeast. From the countless yeast washing videos I watched, it seems the middle layer is the yeast. Can someone take...

Thank you-- I will watch this weekend.

Thanks for the information!

Hello, I have been reading the forums on growing/washing yeast. I think I understand most of the procedures but have a few questions. 1) Instead of making starters for each batch, I would prefer to propoagate the yeast. If I pitch a vial of yeast into a flask to make a liter starter and...

Dear Friend of Brewie, This is Marcell speaking. If you don’t know me what you need to know about me is that I am one of co-founders, CEO and the one who works on Brewie the longest time – since November 2013. As at the beginning I was the one who also handled all communication at...

Thanks everyone. I found a local plumber who may knock it out for me. All good options. I appreciate your feedback. Wayne

Thanks--Thats probably what I will do. Cheers

Hello Hello, I have purchased a Pico Brew— see photo which uses a 5 gallon corny keg to brew. Does anyone have the ability to build a custom immersion chiller that would fit in the corny keg opening.It would only need to go a little over 1/2 up from the bottom since it only brews 2.5...

I found the link for a cool mod to make a whirlpooling immersion chiller. Read the whole article-- really informative and interesting. One note, the extra copper in the picture is just a reflection not another chiller. Seems like we could put a piece of tubing into the output of the pump and...

I like your idea Chris, that is what my dip tube mod looks like to drain the beer. i was thinking about your mod and might add about 15 inches of silicone tubing so the wort actually exits at the top of the wort chiller. I think Jamal had a picture of this on one of the brew forums, it was...

I'm such a knucklehead--All I had to do was look left to your profile, but I was so fascinated by the cinematography:) i could not take my eyes off the screen

Ok, from your accent I am guessing you are from the south--Texas--Memphis:cross: I am guessing you have very hot ground water. When I was using my brewmagic with a plate chiller, it was suggested to run the hose connected to the chiller through a bucket filled with ice and cold water. One...

i agree. I put 8oz of rice hulls in every time and have never had a stuck mash. Pretty cheap insurance to insure a smooth brew day. Wayne

I just put my cold water on full blast through the chiller, turn the pump on and swirl the chiller around every 5-6 minutes. cools in 15 or so minutes even on a hot California day.

Hi, I have the 20L. I have been using beer alchemy for mac, I just got beersmith 2 for mac. I will try the biab profile and make adjustments. For my previous batches(5-gallon), I have been using the northern brewer recipes that you can get from their site. I fill to 25 liters and have been...

Hi Guys, After mashing I lift out the malt pipe and pour about 2 liters of hot water through to get residual sugars.I use whirl floc tablets with 20 minutes left in the boil. I use the pump while chilling with the immersion chiller. cools in about 15 minutes. I dump everything in the...

My Pleasure, Yes, it was so clear--, and when I saw the bag at the homebrew store I could not resist. Although I thought it would save a lot of cleanup time too, that was really not the case, because it took a lot of rinsing to get all the grains out. I think I will also go with the splatter...
