I keep reading it's totally fine to not rinse the Star San out of bottles, after using something like the the Vinator ().
But why bother getting a bottling tree to dry them? Could I just set my bottles upright on the counter and go straight to bottling after 5 minutes of sanitizing?
OK, thanks for forcing me to take my very first gravity reading. :)
The recipe says OG 1.056 and FG 1.012. It is currently at about 1.016.
Also, I saw a ton of little bubbles when I opened up the bucket. It looked like 5 little fish farts per second.
Is this good news?
Hi all!
I brewed a batch of double chocolate stout. It came with a pack of dry yeast, which I wanted to rehydrate. I poured a cup of cold water from the tap in the bowl with yeast, and then realized the instructions said "around 90F".
This is where I must have been asleep, as I poured in...
