Hello brewers, I’m planning on brewing a beer and ferment it with a sake yeast. Looks like it’ll be the WLP705 Sake yeast from White Labs (http://www.whitelabs.com/yeast/wlp705-sake-yeast). I’m seeking first hand feedback from people who brewed with such a yeast : - what kind of beer you...

:d

So I just took a measure. 73F and gravity reads 1.01 I guess it just went really fast! Tastes good (like a young beer usually tastes : lots of rough yeast aromas/flavors and lots of rough cereal flavors). Cheers!

Yep. I totally get it! Thanks. :)

kh54s10 : I have two identical 20 litres carboys and also one 45~50 litres carboy that can hold the two 20 litres. I thought that mixing the two together could help "re-launching" the dead carboy. Surely, I’m aware that there are risks of also mixing infection, creating oxydation, etc...

Again, thanks a lot guys! Okay, this is kind of a weird work around but what if I blended the two carboys in my big carboy than re-separate them in my 2 20litres carboys and put them back at 21C/70F. That should help?

Thanks a lot BrewKnurd! Appreciated. Do you think we should blend the two in one 45 litres carboy? The problem is that carboy does not fit in my temp-controlled freezer and temp will be oscillating from 16C to 18C (it’s in my basement). So we’ll loose the 21C , which I guess is not...

Correction : I should have said after ~55 hours. Not 72 hours the fermentation stopped. It’s kinda fast (too fast), don’t you think?

Thanks guys. Like I said, I’ve been brewing for a bit more than 2 years ; I know fermentation stops at some point... :) The thing that bothers me is that one carboy (of the same beer, same yeast, etc.) is still fermenting strong while the other is completely "dead". That does not seem...

Hello everyone, Last weekend, we brewed 40 litres of a farmhouse type beer. 20 litres went into a glass carboy and the other 20 litres went into another identical glass carboy. In each we pitched 1 vial of WLP670 American Farmhouse blend from White Labs...

Had the same questions. Thread was really helpful. Thanks everyone.

:ban:

So I finally opened it and found that - if I’m not mistaking - they did send me a 110v!!! http://tinypic.com/r/2sadx0g/6 Anybody can confirm this? Thanks in advance.

Okay. I’m learning. Funny thing. I re-looked at the box and operation instruction sheet I had with the STC-1000. Box says "STC-1000 110v" and operation instruction says "Power supply: 110v". I guess I can confirm they sent me a 110v by opening it and finding a 110v transformer (?) in the...

I was watching, just didn’t know what to watch...
