If it was properly diluted Star-san, no worries. Ive racked onto an inch of the stuff in my carboy with no ill effect.

Haha nice! The same thing happened to me this weekend while brewing a Bock, and I did the exact same thing!

Thanks for the reply. :mug:

I use a 1G growler for big starters, and a 2qt mason jar for smaller ones. Saving up for a 2L flask right now.

So basically I can do it as soon as active fermentation stops? I do read mixed input on this. Some say do it a couple points before reaching the terminal gravity, and some say to do it like you said, as soon as the acrobatics are finished. Thanks for the input!

Well I just couldn't wait for winter. I went ahead and took the plunge and brewed my first lager! Ive been brewing all-grain Ales for quite some time now, and have yet to even attempt a Lager, especially for the fact that I live in Florida, and add on top of that, all of the horror stories I...

Grapevine on South Florida Ave. in Lakeland has about the best craft selection around here. Some of the Sunocos are carrying craft brews as well. Particularly the one in Bartow. No homebrew stores in polk county though. For my brewshop, I head over to Booth's Brewing in Brandon a couple times a...

Maybe an English pale ale?

Thanks for the reply! I did go ahead and pitch the entire slurry into the Baltic Porter, which ended up with an og of 1.080. Already churning away nicely! I didn't think it would be over-pitching too much, as the previous batch this yeast fermented was only a 2.5 gal batch. Just wanted to see if...

Anyone have any input? Should I use the entire slurry?

Alright, so I racked a 2.5g IPA batch over to secondary last night, harvested the yeast cake, washed it, and added about 1.5 liters of fresh wort to get it active again. I plan on pitching it into a 5g baltic Porter batch this afternoon. My question is, should I pitch the entire starter (approx...
