It depends for how satisfied with your current crush is from your grain source. For me I make a starter for every batch and I think it is such an important step. If you don't have enough yeast you are stuck with a problem. If your crush isn't perfect you may suffer from lower efficiency but will...

Thanks all! That is what I will do.

Hey Everyone, This may be a dumb question but I thought I would as anyway. I am making a Lager, when I make my starter is it OK to make it at room temp?

Some yeast from East Coast Yeast and 4 pounds of Apricot puree for an Aprihop clone

The fermentation temp will vary depending on the yeast. Most Heffs are in the low to mid 70's they handle higher temps. Like mentioned above I cannot give you an exact how many days to ferment but with Heffs in the higher temps they normally run quickly through fermentations. I have made a...

I got two of the bug farm and two of the saison

Thanks for the tip. Ordered a few myself

Yeah, I am not sure. The website shows they are open. Maybe because they support the small breweries. I says they are at a small staff. It will get here when it does.

I have ordered some new toys from Blichmann and October Seamers both well over a week ago and it has been radio silent. Now on both their websites it says there is a delay so no issue but I may not see this stuff for 3-4 weeks.

I like the look of the new ones as well.

I have the SS BrewTech glycol unit and it works great. I have had for a couple of years and have not had any issues with it at all. That being said I have a lot of Blichmann products and they are top shelf as well.

5 Gallons of Pale Ale. Hopefully adding to this list this weekend.

Gylcol unit.

Yes, the fermenters have the stainless coils inside. The compressor is about as loud as a fridge. The pumps are very quiet. You use 1 gallon liquid glycol and two gallons of distilled water. Said should change once a year. You can use it on four fermenters at a time. It was pricy but it is...

I have only done a water test. I will be using it this weekend for the first time. I turned on the unit and it took the glycol down to 38 degrees in about ten minutes. I put hot water in one of the fermenters 120 degrees. The unit kicked on and took it to 68 degrees in about twenty minutes. It...

Thanks guys!

I use it for sparge water. It is a quick disconnect
