best results would be to get the yst used to the new food. Feed it for about a week. !/4 cup water and two big soons of flour/ stir. let sit. add water flour. let sit.pour some out. addwater flour, etc. Three times per day is best. Keeping a bread starter is like keeping a pet. I kept one...

I've used both and find them same You really must make a starter. I brew dbl batches with one pouch ( recommend wyeast 1338 low yst flavor) last batch I poured the starter ( about 1 qt) "equally" - by eye. One took off big time one lagged behind by about 11 hrs. One blew foam one just...

Wow you all play loose and fast with sterility - me thinks. But then I started brewing double batches when I swithched to liq yeasts - due to the cost of the yst. The only time I've re-used yst was when the timing was right. It tasted the same in the next batch save for the taste of anxiety...

I have yet to find a reason to risk infection and waste beer just to take a reading. Seriously, my hydro broke a long time ago. I recently bought a new one and have used it once (got the OG not the TG).

how much mash are you using in this future contraption? And wassamatta with a stnls. kettle with perf false bottom/ spigot/ and stirring spoon? I brew 18# grain for a double batch in such a thing. Watch the oil/grease in any mechanism doesnt thin and fall into yr wert else you wont get a head.
