    Sure. Breast mild bags should be great.

    For some reason I have not been getting notifications of comments here until getting one today. I will try to go back and answer some of the questions when time allows.

    Freezing Yeast

    Isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol. You can buy it at the drug store or Target or many other places. It is not being used in the yeast slurry, it is being used as a non-freezing solution to keep the temperature more constant during the freeze-thaw cycles of a self-defrosting freezer. The...

    Use "glycerol" or "glycerine", not "glycol". Yes, the slurry is going to freeze solid. The glycerine reduces damage to the cells on freezing.

    The 2016 NHC - Results/Speculation Thread

    Perfect!!! Thanks. I got everything in the picture. I was confused because there was a piece of hose and some clamps but nothing that they go with. OK, I'll take a piece of hose and some clamps ;) All is well.

    The 2016 NHC - Results/Speculation Thread

    Someone needs some packing lessons. I got my kettle. It was my brew structure that didn't make it. Congrats on the medal on the weissbier. Tough category this year since the gold took BOS. Pretty amazing. The BOS winner is in my club and I tasted that beer at the meeting the other...

    The 2016 NHC - Results/Speculation Thread

    I got my box today. Wow, was that thing beat to hell. There was a chugger pump in its box along with a bunch of smaller stuff and my sheets and medal. Whoever packed it just threw in some sheets of bubble wrap in a large carton. The carton was almost open on the top and bottom. The chugger...

    The 2016 NHC - Results/Speculation Thread

    So interesting to get on HBT and know who is posting. Hey Mr. "Gold for wiessbier" and BOS. I won gold in Other American Ales and our club won HBCOTY I guess we know each other. To follow upon another question I saw here, how many go to mini-BOS from each style in final round?
