I put my pump in a plastic box with a sealed hepa filter. I have one of those gang valves and I run the air the whole time.

From what I've been told... The purpose of a starter is to get as many yeastes with good cell walls as possible. I've heard the dry packs don't need starters, but reason above would still be true. I use the dry packs too and I do a starter pumping air from an aquarium which is inside a...

;) I know! Pretty hard topic not to.

It's funny, when I started brewing... the head was important. It looks good, but now it's just a waste of time. Gets in my way! Ok, Ok, I still pour with a head now-and-again... just to check to see if it's still there.

Yeah, he loses points in my book for too much head!

Cool, I didn't read anywhere on the site that is is a 3rd addition. But, I've been know to miss stuff right in my face!

Make sure you call ahead. My LHBS sometimes doesn't have any bottles. Rare, but you know Murphy's Law.

I'm still trying to get over the... I'm a novice part. 9 batches. :D

I was in the same position on my previous batch. I had the biggest krauzen with this brew. See my post: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=79333&postcount=14

Got two at 'Kitchen and Company' for $12.99 each. Besides, how cool is it to look over and see an giant glass of beer! :rolleyes:

Quoting myself here... but I think I found a nice regulator: http://morebeer.com/product.html?product_id=16606

I only aerate before pitching. And in the Starter (well, I haven't here, but my next batch will). Good article on aerating the Starter: http://maltosefalcons.com/tech/MB_Raines_Guide_to_Yeast_Culturing.php Someone else posted this recently... not my find.

wahoo!!! I was hoping you guys were talking about those tanks. Now to get it hooked up to a hose. I have hose and stones. Up till now I've used aquarium stones and a regular aquarium pump. But I've never liked the idea of un-filtered air being pumped into the wert. But boy does...

Where do you find these oxygen tanks? Do they come with valves appropriate for this?

I'm getting a krauzen that is almost filling my carboy... wow! largest ferment I've seen.

I can't say I really had any "great" beer other than some of the better store bought (affordable stuff)... but this stuff is yummy! Home Brewing has got to be one of the best kept secrets.

You mean the starter? I didn't taste it. I had no activity in the air lock and it all seemed to settle to the bottom. However, I just checked on my primary (5 hrs. old)... I'm getting 1 bubble per 45 seconds and a small krauzen is starting. I think I'm going to be ok. Mental note...

Is there anything I can do at this point? What is the Yeast Nutrient that my brew store sold me?
