    Dead frozen yeast bank?

    I may how found the issue. I think my freezer has an auto-defrost "feature". That will kill the frozen yeast. I'm running a test with a glass of water and then will put a coin on it to see if the coin moves down over time... Shoot! Guess I'm starting the frozen bank over again.

    Dead frozen yeast bank?

    First, apologies for the long post. TL/DR at the bottom. I think I may be having issues with my frozen yeast bank. I started it a few months back and have built up a few strains before trying any of the vials. Three days ago I made a yeast starter and pulled a vial from the frozen bank. I took...

    Auber Cube 2E vs BrewCommander?

    Guess I’m not missing anything. I think I’m going with the Cube. It’s a bit cheaper and I kind of like the old school oscilloscope look. And it’s got an EZBoil.

    Auber Cube 2E vs BrewCommander?

    I’m looking to do 5 gal batches eBIAB with 220v 5500w full mash no spare. Is there much difference in performance and/or capabilities? The Cube uses an EZBoil and has 2 x 110v plugs and is a bit cheaper. The BrewCommander has a spiffy touch screen with single 110v and needs a separate 110v...

    Any recommendations for a 240 V element for 20 qt kettles?

    With the Ipb16 discontinued, does anyone know if Inkbird will replace it with a newer model or is it just gone?

    Butterfly Valve Handle Orientation

    Can you rotate the handle 180deg around like the hands of a clock face move so it is on the bottom? That would have it on the left and opening away from your kettle.

    Are Brew-Boss Kettles Decent Options?

    How often do you disassemble your NPT fittings to clean them on the hot side? Or other than the ball valve is that not really needed?

    Are Brew-Boss Kettles Decent Options?

    Thanks all for the feedback! Question on triclamps - I know they’re fancy and easier to clean, but are they worth the extra cost for homebrewing? I don’t have any experience with them or NPT. Is it very difficult to keep NPT sanitary?
