    Is there an ideal starter FG?

    Thanks! I've always used 1.040 but don't have a reason why I do it, I will definitely start smaller in the future. Any idea if putting it back on the stir plate for 12-18 hrs will negatively affect the yeast? I assume it shouldn't and hopefully they will keep working at it...

    Is there an ideal starter FG?

    Took an 18 month break, first time since then that I've made a starter. Using WLP007. I never check the FG of a starter (also never had any issues) but I was curious and I checked it, it's only 1.019. Was 18 hours on a stir plate, total time has been about 36 hrs. There is a decent yeast...

    Post your infection

    It was about 4-5 wks in primary. Used a brew bucket for the first time. This is my 8th AG batch and first infection. About two weeks ago, I tasted it and it was good but had some fusel alcohols, also didn’t have room in my fermentation chamber so it’s the first one to ferment in ambient room...

    Post your infection

    ESB... not sure if this is remnants of a pellicle or not.... as I lifted it out of the freezer, I knocked it around a bunch so it may have broken up whatever it is...

    Help understanding mash tun deadspace vs deadspace loss

    Finished my brew day yesterday, this formula worked like a charm. Yielded the exact amount that I was expecting. Also, as a plus, nailed my OG as well. Thanks again.
