I just run the clean bottles through the dishwasher, no soap, with a hot dry.

Looking at buying some bulk at Yakima and noticed some good prices on the 14's. Is it worth is to spend more and get the 15 or save a bunch of $ on the 14 crop?

Dry hopped with pellets. It should be fine with 1056. I used wlp002 to keep the english theme going with the maris otter. Took a hydro sample this afternoon and its gone from 1.060 down to 1.012 and just about finished. The cascades flavor and aroma are up front with the orange right behind...

So I have my second batch fermenting right now using a chest freezer and the inkbird. Its a Orange English ale. Still using the probe in the jar of water. Set the differential at 3 degrees. Lesson learned from the first batch is to set initial temp at 57, that kept the first days ferment at 64...

Day 7 of primary, still chugging along at 68° and its a beautiful golden bronze color. Cant wait for this one to finish.

I bought a brand new kenmore 7cuft chest freezer at sears outlet for 150 bucks. Not worth the hassle and money screwing around trying to make a sketchy deal work when if shop around you can get something new.

Agreed, dont over think it unless you want to. Yes you can approximate propagation by calculating yeild factors. But really the work has been already done by yeast manufacturers. I just keep it simple. Figure a liquid yeast contains 100b cells. If you want to double just pitch it into a prepared...

Got 6.25 gal in fermenter at 1.060 Looks great. I will report back when its done. I added 3.5oz of fresh navel zest.

Nice! Im a farrier

Oatmeal stout is fantastic!

Got my bill together today and looking at a brew day in 4 days. Only changes made was to increase the grains by 10% to get 6gal fermenting. Going to do a 2liter starter with wlp002. Oranges will be straight from the tree, zested and into the boil. Not quite sure how much zest weight Im going to...

I think Im gonna brew this next. The navels are prime time in my back yard!

Dont forget the deminishing returns when stepping a starter. There are charts on the web that all the math is done. Just keep the process clean. Its ez.

As soon as the oat stout is done its going to be time to pick some fresh navel oranges off the tree and brew up a witbier and the cascades/orange pale ale.:)

I run the O2 for a bit in the star san bucket then straight to fermenters.

For sure, I will be watching it like a hawk!

Hi brewers, this is my first real post! Im using this controller for the first ferment in my new 7cuft freezer. Installation and set up was a breeze. The flow chart provided made it super ez and intuitive. I taped the probe into a jar of water and set that on a piece of wood on the shelf of the...

I picked up a new Fridgidaire 7.2cuft chest freezer at sears outlet for 150 bucks and a inkbird itc 306 on amazon for 40 bucks. I still have to decide how to run heat. Thinking of rigging a small hair dryer and set it on low. It will be a great set up for right about 2 hundred for all new stuff.

For sure!.Im buddys with the owner and brewmaster of one of them. He wants to try my beer. Not sure if Im worthy!..har!

Glad to be aboard!...Im a nOOb brewer but a seasoned beer drinker. There are 7 craft brewerys within a 2 mile radius of my home so I dont know what prompted me to try my hand at brewing. I think because its a challenge and its fun! I jumped right into AG brewing and have 3 batches in bottles...
