almost 24$ to OH. not worth it. thanks though. For some one close buy it probably is a good deal. let us know how it comes out.

Seems someone shows up in every thread about how great their methods are..... bucket/keg/force carb/drink and enjoy.

Brewed 10 gallons of a pale ale Thursday, everything went well. Began brewing 10 gallons Saturday morning and realized when I put my pale ale in the fermentation fridge that I forgot to set the temp....meaning that it was still set at cold crash temps. (it was at 37 degrees when I noticed)...

If I choose not to use a starter, how much yeast should I pitch? Dry and/or liquid? Thanks

Fair enough​, but let's be realistic. From what I'm gathering it's a small Brewer with a couple guys who probably had a few beers in them. Pretty sure the guys aren't top paid guys, not so much an excuse as it is a chance for the brewer to remedy the situation.

Why?

Have snowflakes infected everything? 9 pages of pussification .... Seriously. I doubt very highly this is common place at any brewery other than my garage. Few guys have a few beers and yada yada.... probably was their own personal batch. What's more telling is the reactions here. Yes it's...

Nothing that's gonna not make me want to drink it :) Its take a day or 2 for it to fully clear once its carbed but delicious none the less.

I also did the mosaic and will be doing it again. I just did an all new Zealand ipa with some of the galaxy instead.

48 hours at 32psi is my goto method. vent and set at 10-12psi. already at serving temp due to coldcrashing. enjoy.

if you told me oxygen was going to make my beer have less ABV i'd be concerned.... im all for simple.

32 psi 48hours does the trick for me. Then purge and set at 8 psi for serving.

I just got a pound of Galaxy. Let us know how it turns out.

im not an expert but once I went to a fermentation fridge(temp controlled)ive yet to have a bad batch. your pitching too warm also(according to the experts) each yeast is gonna respond different to temp variations. you have a huge variable if your not controlling the temps.

most brew days I heat up approx. 8 gallons for strike, 11 gallons for sparge and then a 60/90 boil. All in a keggle. Can I drain from keggle into 7.9gall bucket with the Blichman(without leg extensons)? Are the fuel savings very noticeable? Sorry for the highjack in advance.....:)
