Not something you'll hear me say often but, that Bloody Mary looks good. Even looks properly made.
Drinking coffee now and probably through the rest of the daylight hours today.

How I miss the occasional morning airport drink (heading on a vacation of course and not for work like some of you nuts)
Opted for some bubbly over Heineken or Miller Lite pre-takeoff. On #2 now

Water. O UPS, UPS, wherefore art thou UPS? :fro:
Anyone here use servomyces in their beers?
Yeast nutrient? I use whatever the wyeast stuff is.

I'm right here.
thanks for the feedback. I have some servomyces now that Im going to use in my beers from now on. My beers seem to start really slow even with a hefty pitch so Im hoping this speeds things up. I may do a side by side with the cheap nutrients to see if there is a noticeable difference because there certainly is in price.
Do you hit your wort with O2? That has made a huge difference in how fast/vigorous my fermentation starts.
Tempted...worth it?
Nope, I dont have an oxygen or aeration set up. I flow everything by gravity out of the BK, through a fine mesh strainer which then dumps into the fermentor. I figure it has to add some oxygen but its obviously not ideal.

Even then I would beat that wort with a paddle like it owed you money for a good 10 minutes.
I'm as cheap as the next home brewer and make as much equipment as I can, but in some cases it's just easier to buy. $50 from Northern Brewer without any sale and tanks are under $10. Personally, I'd skip my next planned brew day to buy it if need be, but using O2 is right up there with starters and fermentation temperature control.

Do you use something like this?

You calling me cheap!?! (I am)
A small aquarium pump is another option.
Enjoying this a lot. Thanks @finsfan Even though is says best by 9/3/14 it's damn good. Never had it before but, I'm guessing that time is a friend with this one.
