    White labs fail?

    I used to think about this very thing. Then I toured the White Labs facility and saw the yeastroom from behind a glass wall. It’s clean in there. If your batch is infected I’d look elsewhere.

    Comparison of mash tun insulation methods

    After looking at the data I tried the sleepingbag technique. I wrapped two 15 gal boilermakers with no sparge volumes (12.5#'s grain/9g of H2O) They only dropped temp 1 degree. That's close enough for me. Thanks for the work you put into your experiment.

    I left 2 vials of WLP037 stranded in the fridge for months. I had an opportunity to use them and began a starter. My goal was to build a starter over 2 days. It took 24 hours before any signs of activity began, i would assume their age had something do do with that. Needless to say I let it go...

    NB Kiwi Express anyone tried it? How is it?

    I liked the results. I would agree with an earlier post that it's definitely a fruity hopped beer. Stone fruit and melon were the front flavors. NB kits have always been great. Even in my early years of brewing it came out good. As far as B2Hearted. Your right by saying they are not the same. I...

    NB Kiwi Express anyone tried it? How is it?

    This kit comes with Nelson, wakatu, motueka. Tomorrow I dry hop 5gal. How did yours turn out? Any recommendations? Used WLP01 in starter. Took off and doing well. Really wakes up at 70 degrees.
