Thanks for all of the help. Saw the one for $60 that was steel but read that they can rust if inside a freezer (which it would be). If that is not the case, that is a good option. Will look for the guy on here also. Thanks again. I really do appreciate it.

Thanks, that is very helpful especially the cost aspect. I should also mention that I live in S Fla so the closer, the better if anyone has anything.

5# or 10# and duel regulator

Hofbrau dunkel...better on draft but still great in bottle

I was actually thinking about a screen for the same reason. However, as someone else pointed out, screen wouldn't keep sand out if the wind blows too hard. Also, my kettle gets pretty hot, not sure a screen would hold up although there are metal versions. Even though it's a screen, it may...

Somewhat off topic but I can't think of a single question I've had that I haven't been able to get answered somewhere on here. Any question I type into Google leads me back here. Tons of experience on here and no bickering when there's a disagreement about something like you might see on other...

+1 to all of the above. Did a starter with this yeast a week ago and looked just like that. You MUST watch temps cuz it will go dormant in a hurry. Problem I'm having now with a stuck fermentation. Cheers

What fg should I expect or shoot for? Really appreciate all of the help.

Thanks. Should I do anything to the yeast cake or just let it be?

I should add that the yeast was wlp002 English ale yeast

Rather than start a new thread with same title, I'd like to ask a similar question. Nut brown ale with OG of 1.040 in cool brewing cooler for first time. With three 1 liter ice bottles at first (live in warm climate) temp went to 58-62 range. Kept for a day or two due to increased internal...
