I never let my beer sit in the primary. I generally go 7 days and crash for 1-2days and in the keg. I’d rather my beer make it into a closed environment. When I bottle, I’ll run the same schedule. I’ll add that it also depends on the time of year and what the ambient temp is where I’m fermenting.

New one on me, I can say that’s a first.

I really don’t think it makes a big difference. I’ve pitched them both ways.

I wouldn’t sweat it personally. I’d definitely up the temp as soon as it slows.

Cheaper to buy by far. I generally grow a variety called Opalka. It is really fantastic, but lots of effort. When I buy canned I found one I really like. Just toss some fresh basil leaves in and hit the immersion blender. I need to see the brand name. I think it is Napoli 🤔 Sometimes it’s nice...

I do a sourdough crust that is a 2-3 day cold rest. Bought a nice stone that’s the size of the oven rack. It’s about 3/4” thick. I can’t remember the brand. I found that I like my oven at 450. One day I’d like a smaller, more efficient dedicated pizza oven. I can my own sauce. Still looking for...

Old thread, I’m ready for some. Thanks for the info

I have a nice custom paddle my wife gave me. It sits in the corner with spider webs on it. I also have a huge whisk. When I started underletting, the dough balls stopped. I used to dump dry grain to my strike water and would stir like a fool. Underletting changed my mash life. No issues when my...

If no activity in a day or so, I’d get some 05 or similar. It will be fine as long as sealed and with good sanitation.

If it isn’t even to expiration, I’d pitch it.

I have to say that the best mill I’ve seen is the Crankenstein geared. I’m not buying a mill, but a modern choice is geared. Not geared, ain’t buy’n your 💩

It’s 7 here, no chance I can brew in that. 15 years ago I did it. Iceman needed!

I’ll follow along, I have it in the fridge now.

I think, for me, it would be about can I quit. I think about it often, but quit is a strong word. I like soft words, like slow down and less.

I wish I had an indoor setup. Going down to zero next week and this weekend will rain/snow. ☹️

If I were to buy another 3 Roller, it would be gear driven. I think there are several reasonable models out there now.

My father n law would always quit drinking from the start of Lent, until August 15th. He would always go to Fl on that date. Once he hit the Fl state line, all bets were off. He would drink Miller Lite like a fish until Lent. Fat Tuesday would come….no more. I’ve actually thought that would be a...

40 😳 Wow, I really have issues. Pound it for 16 more years. 😎 I’ve had those same questions with myself. I get it it as well. I vowed to not drink any beer in 24, unless I didn’t make it. Figured it would make me brew and drink less. Now if I can kick this 10y old case of homemade blackberry...

I use it like all the rest. I hold it at 68 until it gets rocking, and I let it go. Usually makes it to 75ish. When it starts to slow, I boost it to 80.
