I use this yogurt culture by a company called CHR Hansen. A friend gave it to me. Not sure where he got it (might have 5 fingered it from work). It's super concentrated. 1/4 tsp per gallon, so I don't re-pitch.

What is your keg cleaning process? Do you have a bucket blaster, mark's keg/carboy cleaner or homemade equivalent?

Split the 10g into 2 or 4 fermenters with different yeasts.

You still have to clean your lines. It's easy to take it apart to clean.

Have you used either yeast before?

The voss is going to add some orange esters and the Lutra isn't going to add much. Either will be fine in my opinion. Do a split batch if you can so you can compare.

I also have the duotight quick disconnects

Bad/old/expired LME is probably the reason. There are plenty of accounts of that making not so great beer. I personally won't use it.

Pick me!

One thing that drove me nuts about bottling conditioning was the yeast at the bottom of the bottle when drinking the finished product. Sometimes a little yeast in the glass was fine. Other times it gave an off taste that I wasn't a fan of. In my case, the quality of my beer has improved. Also...

I got a keezer setup about a year ago after bottling for many years. Now I know why people rave about having one. Transferring from fermenter to keg takes no time at all. You can go with inexpensive picnic taps if you're on a budget. If you have the space, go bigger on kegerator size. I also...

A few times a year. It's nice to have a quick brew day sometimes. I usually base it on the above mentioned 15 minute pale ale.
