I've tried a few brews with it. Its pretty great, low clarity though due to its flocculation. There are a few other threads on there which talk about the differences it produces when fermented at various temperatures.

What does shipping usually run on one of these big swap packages?

I forgot to check the date once, and got an old vial of yeast. Didn't realize it until I was about to make the starter. It was a slow starter, but I pitched it anyway and went and picked up a couple more vials the next day to pitch in. That beer just won a 2nd place in competition.

where in CA?

I just picked up some. Can possibly get more if anyone cant find it.

how much/lb for the Nelson?

Yeast washing can be a pain. I have had some success with racking onto a yeast cake with another batch. The rule for this is that you should always be at least stepping up the gravity/abv of the second batch. Also, not a great idea for beer with tons of hops in the first batch. A lot of people...

I live close to the bruery, PM me if still interested.

I actually just got back from picking up some pliny and blind pig that was delivered today to my local shop. It was bottled Sept 6th, so its very fresh. I'm definitely interested in the Founders and Southern Tier. PM me.

Why do you mention not doing any extended soaks with the oxyclean (etc.) Curious as I haven't come accross that before and I let my immersion chiller soak for a little while sometimes to remove oxidation before using it.

Ive seen things such as this which look helpful. some are a bit more robust and have a screw on cap so you can just have it off to the side of the dip tube and fill it up (makes clean up easier)...

I had a similar issue. Make sure you secure the probe to your fermentation vessel, and then insulate over it so its only measuring the temp of the beer. Better yet is to get a temperature probe bung. Those produce the most accurate reading. As for the temperature swing, this could be (as it...

I'm not sure about the details, but I have read/listened to interviews about a Diacetyl Force Test sampling. May help you find out if you need the rest or not fairly quickly.

Thanks! I was just listening to an interview with Chad from crooked stave who mentioned not needing to add Malto as well, so I think I can forego that. This brings up another question though, If I let the brett sit for 3-6 months, should I add a clean ale yeast for bottle conditioning at the...

I brewed 10gal of a Dubbel with figs which I kegged 5 gal of, and want to get a bit of funk and oak into the other 5 gals. I've never done a brett beer before, so I'm curious if I could get some thoughts on what might go well with that beer. From what I've read it sounds like a mix of...

I did a very similar hop combination to my RyeIPA, used Cascades for bittering (because i had to get rid of the surplus i had) The beer came out delicious! The combination produced a great citrus aroma of oranges and grapefruit. I will definitely do this again. I used 5 lbs 2-row 2lbs malted...

Saw this on Ebay, I think it hasn't sold because he wants over $60 for shipping. Anyone in Missouri may want to Contact. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-gallon-pin-lock-cornelius-keg-/321102545271?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac3340177

Just an update, I took a sample last night. The reading was ~1.026 so it fermented about half way after 4.5 weeks. There was no real off aroma, nor flavor. There is obviously quite a bit of sweetness left, and the beginnings of the sourness, though more so in the aroma. I gave it a little swirl...
