I did. they didn’t. I also bought a March pump plus fittings. This was a $300 order, but apparently it’s ok to send me 2 packs of yeast their very own website says will have 0 cells tomorrow I’m sure there are enough yeasties to make a beer. But I don’t homebrew to make beer. I homebrew to make...

I was shocked to get a package that old. I did contact MoreBeer, they told me to pitch a starter yada yada yada. The problem is the monks over pitch and under oxygenate. Like 5 to 1 over pitch. I was trying to pitch at 1.5. I can t do that with .4 billion cells I guess I’ll buy more yeast...

I paid full price for the yeast. There calculator says .4 viability then say .4 billion cells if it were 40% that would be 40 billion

that's beautiful

I just received 2 packs of WLP500 from MoreBeer. both were manufactured 12/19/18 I am brewing a Tripel O.G. 1078, 5.5 gallons. I prefer a 1.25 pitch rate as I'm doing a series of Tripels and pitch rate is a part of that. The calculators on viability go from 31% to .4% Ironically MoreBeer's...

I’m linking this thread cause it took me forever and several threads and theories to find it #maythe4thbewithyou ##happybigbrewday #witchdoctor https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/a-short-pump-orientation-mounting-tutorial.306814/

Thanks guys. I’m excited about this pump. I got it to recirculate my Tripels for clarity; but now that I think about it, I’m a herms coil, a couple holes in my old kettle, and a silicone hose away from a Herms system

I just bought my first brew pump and am wondering if I need to mount it to something? I can find plenty of info about mounting to a brew stand, however this pump will be sitting on the ground. I can’t really find anything about that. I certainly don’t want to turn on a brand new March pump...

That’s what I did with my Tripel I bottled last week. Though I shot at 3 instead of 3.25 just in case. It’s in Belgian bottles so should be ok even if it goes higher than I expected There is so much contradictory info on that. But your view makes sense. I cold crashed with aluminum foil over...

Things that make me go hmmm. My last BIAB was a 4 step mash Saison, I raised temp by adding boiling water through a calculator. Clearly direct firing a mash tun will have the potential to scorch sugars. Wouldn’t boiling water or especially decoction basically shut down conversion for whatever...

I have a fridge it fits in easily. I would not get legs. Maybe casters. The great thing is it can be upgraded as you like. I wanted stainless. I have a stainless thing and I prefer TC fittings

I agree. this is what I always do. “Well for not much more I can get this. Then for a little more than that I can have this.” Then eventually I get to “I’m not paying that much for a fermentor” It took a lot of discipline but I stuck with the flex and added the sampling valve and came out at...

OK thanks to DLawrence529. I was able to drain it to the racking arm. I measured 4 cups left which would likely be all or nearly all Trub..Physics is fun

I did not. Brilliant thanks I will try that. I’m sure it will work. that makes sense. I kept thinking surely they wouldn’t let something like that go. #moremoneythantalent

I just did a water test. It left just above 5 liters during gravity drain. The tube is well below this but it won’t gravity drain below there. That is not ok. I know it can handle 2 psi which would be plent to get the beer out but not sure how to apply the 2 psi.

I just tested with water in my flex it would only gravity drain to 5 liters. That’s not ok. I know it can handle 2 psi so that would correct it but not sure how to apply the 2 psi

I agree with this assessment I mean I carry a plastic bucket upstairs with 5 gallons of wort. I find it hard to believe these handles can’t handle it. I guess we will find out in a few uses

I just received my flex. That was fast. I wish I had ordered casters with it. Their FAQ is really pushing the don’t lift thing which is my only dig. It can’t go over a threshold or into a fridge without lifting. I ordered the sampling valve and the barb when I got it. I would add the casters...
