Yeah, it's been about a week now. Activity has slowed based on the thickness of the krausen. I did remove the cap last night to put...

It looks like they have a plastic tapered ring that is supposed to seal on the cap. IIRC, someone put garden hose connection gaskets to...

Another thing to think about is the higher pressure slows down the fermentation rate. Raising the temperature increases the fermentation...

It seems your yeast is ok, but I have found pressure fermenting to require more yeast than a non-pressure ferment. The pressure tends...

All true. I observed the krausen longer just now and there is bubbling seen there, so definitely still active with a gas leak...

I'm fermenting a batch of Oktoberfest in my new Fermzilla All-Rounder. I pitched a WLP 820 3L starter on Saturday. Fermentation...

I would add that "1:10" is sort of a British tradition rule of thumb. In American breweries, I think 1:8 is probably more common. And...

It doesn't damage the yeast. Just saying you can use less than you think to make a starter. A 1:10 ratio is not what most online...

So, does this damage the yeast? Would there be a difference in beer quality using a flogged starter? I've generally based the time off...

Definitely not pitching all that spent DME. I'd hate tossing good yeast, but if it were only 10%, I'd do it. I have no idea about...

Definitely not semi solid, but somewhat of a very thin gelatinous liquid it appears. Hard to describe, but the hazier region had a...

I've got a 3L starter for an Oktoberfest (yeah, I know, a bit late for the season) that was on the stir plate for 4 days, and has been...

I second the recommendation for the intertap springs. I just installed them recently and it keeps my mind at ease. I also have one of...
