Love, love, love Whale Pod products. I ship about 2 times a month, mostly for competitions, and I've been exclusively using Whale Pod 6-bottle packs for about 8 months. Never had a single one broke with Whale Pod, and still easy to package up and ship out.

I bought one of the first Gen4 65L's in the US and been using it for about 17 months and around 34 batches. I usually brew 5.75 gal batches, but have done 8 & 11 gallon batches as well. Tried every combination of PID settings, BT themometer and HED use that I can think of. Watched the David...

Just used this yeast on a Munich Helles. Based on how quickly it fermented at 50F and the initial taste test result, I will definitely use this yeast again. For the maltier german lagers, this is my new go-to.

Belgian Golden Strong Ale was my latest brew session. Thanks!

Sign me up! Love my Inkbird Wifi Heating/Cooling controller for maintaining fermentation temps.

As someone considering moving to the B40pro 240V, the above statement about the 220V version having two power plugs made my heart skip a beat. Then I realized that I already had a 240V power plug, not a 220V plug. Perhaps the 220V one is the Euro version. For clarification only, the 240V US...

I am honestly surprised there were no comments to this, good/bad or indifferent. Not useful, or no other thoughts on this?

I've been with Brewzilla since the 3.1.1 version, and brew on a 65L Gen4 right now. I've been tinkering and experimenting with settings for a year (HED in, HED out, PID on, PID off, Bluetooth thermometer primary, PID water tests, using Kegland settings, using David Heath's settings, etc) and...

Any Ford Mach-E owners here? Local dealerships have a lot of cars stacked up with low prices, incentives and low to no APRs. California Route 1 version has 312 miles of range and looks great. It's not a NACS plug car (yet), but Ford is supposedly shipping out CCS to NACS adapters to work on...

In my Brewzilla, I use cheap, muslin bags to contain my hops and use a 95% hop utilization rate in Brewfather. Seems to work well, and easy to clean up afterwards. No clogged pumps. Hops are extremely toxic to dogs, so I am careful to get every bit in cleanup. I also use a Blichmann Hop Rocket...

I am relatively new to competitions and often try very hard to 'hit' the Brewfather predicted OG & FG. Makes me very happy when a beer turns out pretty close or exactly as predicted. And, brewers often mention that predictability and consistency are cornerstones to great brewing. I was lucky...

Count me as another very happy Flotit 2.0 user. Bought 5 or 6 of them and never had a problem. Beer is definitely clearer out of one, but it's also really great for keeping out keg-hopped gunk out of the posts. I also have a random assortment of kegs and keeping which liquid tube goes with which...

I am using a brew bag from (The Brew Bag-Designed for Brew In A Bag-This is your LAST brew bag!) sized for outside the malt pipe, and it works very well. Used this setup for almost a year. Every batch the bag catches about 1/8lb of malt 'gunk' and I have never had a clogged pump when using it.

Dozens of times, Gen 3 and Gen 4. No problem with either. I hookup the exchilerator right to the top camlock and it cools to garden hose temp in one pass, straight to my fermentor.

Any suggestions for the ‘optimal’ fermentation temperature for this yeast? Just bought this yeast for the first time and excited to see what 100% attenuation tastes like in a Saison.
