Sub par instructions in 2018 just blows my mind, s-05 is a forgiving yeast just be patient and let it sit in primary no less then 10 days, i would wait 14 personally

My HB Pils and streaming the game while enjoying a stick I picked up from a b&m in Charleston, SC

Looks freaking amazing!!! Well done My nearly 12% all pale malt barleywine, aged for a month been kegged for 4 months

God speed, I think we’re all hoping this batch turns out well!! [emoji482]

Friday night boys, Cheers [emoji482]

Maryland drivers in rain/snow/ice have two speeds, unreasonably slow or insanely fast and it makes my 50min commute hell even when we get just a dusting People laugh about the south getting snow and I’m like wow worry about your own driving!!

I thought Maryland was bad when we got snow, you guys barely got a dusting looks like lol

Instead of multiple packs i could just buy a liquid yeast pack, and make a quick viability starter for just about the same cost, just alittle more time you know? I’ve used the m20 hefe and the m02 cider yeast with great results

I was already late for work so i just direct pitched, the stout I brewed I rehydrated s-05 it was plugging away at about 24hrs post pitch My disappointment is really with the yeast not my situation, my post boil sanitation was good I wasn’t sweating an infection I just rather not wait another...

@Miraculix this morning before work, no activity, popped the lid nothing on the surface so i went ahead and sprinkled s-05 directly on, roughly 54 hours post pitch of the m54, i am disappointed Edit: i also had placed the bucket near a heater to raise the temp from 63/64 to 68/69

I haven’t quite hit the 48 hr mark yet, noon today was 36 so it’s getting close

Deep cleaning a bucket means recycling it imo, but if you rather keep them I usually give a hot oxi-free soak for a few hours-overnight

Yeah that’s what I’ve seen as well, if I don’t see activity tomorrow after work (60+ hrs post pitch) I will rehydrate a pack of s-05 if I find the gravity hasn’t dropped

Pitched rehydrated M54 into 5 gallons of 1.055 wort, it’s been around 36 hours no airlock activity, anyone else experience slow start with that yeast? Edit 62* F

On a brew strong episode Martin says that acidulated malt/Lactic acid is key to getting that pilsner flavor so don’t fear it, i mean if your water profile is calling for a pound in 5 gallons yeah it will be tart but when i brew a pale beer, full volume biab mash i need to use at least 1 oz per...

You should be fine using up to 1oz per gallon of finished beer (priming sugar) Also my bottle filler usually leaves the head space slightly above halfway up the neck, your headspace looks a tad small but it could be just the photo Relax and have a commercial craft beer in the meantime, three...

Start with 3/16” at about 15’ serve at 10-12 psi around 40* F, i fill a pint in about 10 seconds, you can always shorten to your liking

lol yeah I understand that, I’ll have to take an updated photo of mine, my step kids got me oak barrel tap handles for Christmas

Maybe for ease of removing kegs? But yeah room for expansion [emoji482]
