Noticed this morning the foil cap on my starter was on the ground and yeast and stuff everywhere. I think it's been like this for 24 hours. Is the starter still good with it running for that long without the foil cover? Thanks..

First is this post showing under fermentation yeast? Doing this from my phone. Thanks. I bottled about 4 weeks ago and the carboy with the cake has been sitting in my basement at 73°. The left over liquid is crystal clear and it smells fine. Can I toss a new batch in or should I toss it? Thanks...

Hi all. Tried searching on this topic and didn't find my answer. My last orange cascade ale, I dry hopped with about 1 oz of cascade leaf hops and noticed how much liquid I lost to the hop leaves. Is it better to just use pellets for this reason? Thanks in advance.

I noticed the metal swingtop from the midwestsupplies.com corrode when I soak it in oxyclean and starsan. The metal becomes white-ish and starts flaking off. However I don't experience this on the real grolsch bottles. Anyone else experience this?

So walk into the laundry room to water all over the place. I unhooked the hose and was filling the utility tub to clean bottles. Draped both ends of the hose in the tub. The one end drops out and starts siphoning the tub water onto the floor. So its that effortless to start a siphon.

How many would agree with this? Wife seems to have no issues with my new hobby/obsession now that I make an orange ale she really likes. Thanks for all the valuable information on the forum.
