I could not find it on the github page, but does anyone know of a possibility to upload the readings to google sheets?

How did this turn out?

Noted. Thanks all!

Thanks for your reply! I don't think I'm going to do that since I don't want to introduce more foreign material to the environment that the yeast is in. Do you, by chance have an idea of how much of this is yeast? (how much would this stratify)

So if I get this right, you want to pitch the yeast tomorrow? I'd just add the starter liquid to the beer. The yeast can't ferment the starter wort AND floc out in one day.

You can leave it this warm during the whole fermentatino period. The other beer will not like the higher temperatures much, but it can handle it. The belle saison yeast can take a long time to finish, so fermenting this warm is not a bad idea.

Hi all, I've recently gotten a plastic conical from a clubmate and I'm fermenting an IPA with s04. I've pulled two jars worth of yeast from the bottom. Could you have a look at them and tell me if it's trub that I've harvested, or mostly yeast? When I look at this video on youtube he states...

Note of warning: do not add cherries to a keg. I had a steam ale, that I fermented with WLP645 (brett C) and after half a year, I added cherries to the keg. Naturally, fermentation started back up as one would assume. While lifting the pressure relief valve once in a while to let out some of the...

I am looking into building my own brewstand soon. Thanks so much for your detailed information! I had envisioned something similar, but I think I'll go with your design, since it's proven to work.

So I would be looking at a more expensive compressor, right? I guess I'm looking into getting one second hand. Would going the route of mechanical (just via a motor) capper work and be cheaper? I don't really NEED one, so spending $200 on a pneumatic capper isn't logical for me.

It's in dutch, but here are a lot of possible solutions. Do note that the first one uses pegs. Those pegs go into the holes that are used for the cage on grolsch bottles.

Your first and second links link to the same post: 161. To quote the post that talks about the force needed: I am looking into making something like this for myself. Ideally, I'd like to spend less than $70, so I'm looking at getting stuff from aliexpress and salvaging some stuff like the...

Nope. The lagering will not kill the yeast. It's only there to let the yeast drop out of suspension and make it go dormant. That way you get clearer beer. It also cleans up the taste.

As the title states, I've got a pretty old (about 1 year) slurry 2206 bavarian lager yeast that I've added about 30cl of 1.040 starter wort to and put on the stirplate. After about a day, I added another 50cl. It's been on there for 3 days and it's in the fridge now. I had succes with the...
