I assume you can find build threads on here for stir plates?

I wouldn't be able to get to the store till Monday. I've been wanting to get a stir plate and flask for a while, they are cheap so I think I'll pull the trigger next payday

I've got my fridge set at 17.5C. So you're saying I should wait a little while longer before pitching more?

The OG was 1.062 and the pack was fairly new but I don't know the date. The homebrew shop is good at keeping stuff fresh and it was bought the week before brew day. It was stored in the fridge as soon as I got home. I'm going to be looking at getting a stir plate to make starters but I don't...

By 0 activity, I can't really see the sides as it's in a chest freezer but there is no Krausen forming at all.

So I made an Oatmeal Stout and pitched Wyeast 1335, when I smacked the smack pack I guess I hit it harder that anticipated and it popped a little hole in the package. Anyway, I taped it up hoping that would be ok but it didn't puff up like normal. At the end of brew day I pitched into my carboy...

Done, carbed and about a week and a half in the keg, I gotta say, it turned out really nice. I'd still like another opinion on it but it tastes really good. This was also my first beer using a fermentation chamber (small bar fridge with an inkbird temp controller) I'd like to think this made a...

Looks great, can't wait to brew this!

Subscribed, this is my next beer!

well...The LHBS just got a new mill that's adjustable...I set it as fine as it will go and BAM 89% pre boil efficiency! and thats including the extra 2.25L of wort I got pre boil... I think I have some tweaking to do with brewers friend!

So I stirred while bumping up to mash out temp and I squeezed like crazy. I had my brew house efficiency set to 65% and I pretty much hit my OG. I was aiming for 1.059 and I got 1.058.
