    Is a closed transfer really necessary?

    I too used to think that my open transfers and the beer was fine. What I noticed was that after a while I would be less excited about having a beer that I loved a few weeks prior. Now that I do closed transfers to purged kegs I have noticed a huge difference from beginning to end. The beer...

    MoreBeer.com - Always garbage shipping?

    Did you pay for/request expedited freight? If so then MB should refund the extra charge you paid. All posted ETA's of delivery are just that Estimated.

    Starter or No?

    I picked it up at my LHBS and I believe, I'll have to double check that, but I the production date was 6/10, it was definitely this month though. And i know that that doesn't tell the story of its shipping but i felt I was good to go. I had considered the vitality/small starter but opted...

    Starter or No?

    As mentioned, I decided not to do the starter and this kicked off fairly quickly. I pitched around noon Saturday and appeared to be well underway by Sunday morning.

    Starter or No?

    Thanks for all the responses. I think I've decided to not make the starter.

    high final gravity

    Right now you are sitting at 5% ABV. If this is your kit you are right in the wheelhouse https://www.austinhomebrew.com/Brewers-Best-Chocolate-Stout--1-gallon_p_5030.html

    Grisette! Saturday

    Starter or No?

    The other thing I considered is making a .5L starter. Even worth the effort? I'm thinking this will propagate the amount of yeast needed.

    Starter or No?

    Interesting. Out of curiosity I pushed the production date back to 4/1 and it recommended using 2.8 packs without starter.

    Starter or No?

    Good point on the production date. I'll verify that after i purchase the yeast (3711)

    Starter or No?

    So my plan for this weekend is to brew a Grisette. These are typically low ABV beers in the 3-4% range. I was planning on making a starter tonight and realized that with such a low OG of 1.028-32 that i may not have too. I plugged my numbers into Mr Malty and with a 5 gallon batch it states...

    POSSIBLE NEW PRODUCT FOR CORNY KEGS

    How are the LED's powered? Is each of the 5 LEDs an indicator for a gallon of beer? IE, 5 LED's on equal 5 gallons in the keg? What are the benefits or your idea over some of the already existing option out there? I'm curious...

    how often do you try a beer out of your normal style range??

    There isn't a style I won't try. I'm all over the map as they say. What I won't try again is a brewery that I feel is making beer not worth buying. I've even tried offerings by BMC, still can't find something that they make that I would drink again. If there is one style that I typically...
