I've been working on this formula to add to an excel spreadsheet I use for fermentation tracking, but haven't finished. I'm giving pressure fermentation a try and thought it would be a handy column to have on the table. I haven't had time to digest it yet, but this is what I bookmarked when I...

Yeah, I poked around a little more out of curiosity and it looks more like "produces similar results" than exact strain.

Good choice. I probably said it above, but lawnmower is my favorite beer that I can reliably find at convenience stores. I love their pilsner too but have to go to a big store to find it. Hope you got one in the pack. Enjoy the cruise!

No worries. I looked at that too and thought it was interesting because several other sites also list them as the same strain, but they definitely have different characteristics according to the manufacturers sites. I wonder if they come to those numbers through independent research? Maybe...

My opinions - Sounds awesome! Personally, I doubt I would use all the functionality, but being able to search by one or 2 ingredients and going through a list would be great. So to answer question 1, I would be more interested in the search engine, assuming you have a big enough recipe pool...

One of the favorite beers I have made was the Wild Card kit from AHS. They guy told me that they save grains from screwed up orders in big bins, base malt in one, specialty in another. When they get full they proportion them out and mix into 12lb bags (I think). 20 bucks for Wild Card grains...

According to mrmalty it is the same strain as White Lab's WLP920. No experience with either, but that is what the internet says.

Check the stickies in the bottling / kegging forum. Also very helpful.

1. You can do it, but it will take a lot more pressure. Google "carbonation chart" and find the pressure for your temp. No pros really, other than saving fridge space. The biggest con, aside from the higher pressure, is that you can't really serve from room temp. The CO2 will come out of...

Assuming the starter was approximately the same OG/FG as the wort, final ABV would be the same. The initial addition of the starter dilutes the sugars as seen on the hydrometer, but final ABV should not be adjusted.

Thanks macok, that makes sense. I don't want to cut any dip tubes, but I don't mind a couple of cloudy pints if it saves a transfer. The first few pints could just be my yeast for the next batch. I also "lazy chill" so I'm guessing the longer dip tube will help with pulling the yeast out of...

Thanks joewalla. I don't think freezing would be that bad. They are left in the ground below freezing all winter right? Just seal them well to make sure they don't dry out. I have mine in the fridge now. I'm just going to try and get them in some soil this week I guess. I don't have the...

I can't speak to what you need, but I have the same mom situation and pointed her towards cornykeg.com. I put a strong emphasis on the nitro coffee setup, but also said any and all ball lock kegs of various sizes would be welcome too. Just tossing ideas out there.

I did the same thing, ordered the rhizomes from YMH but don't have a spot ready for them. What did you end up doing?

A lot of people have stopped doing secondary is part of the reason. Did the ones you see have handles? All of them I have seen have built in handles that seemed like they would be a real pain to clean.

The first thing I looked at was the layer on the one on the right and assumed it got all the yeast, but the one on the left is the one with blowoff in the airlock. It definitely did it's thing. I'd assume there will be some differences from difference in yeast quantity and give them a little...

That should work. I'd test it with a bucket of water first to make sure your heater is keeping up. Put a box or something over it if needed to help maintain.

I bottle 1 gallon batches in 2 liter bottles and carb them with a carbacap. The method I use is adding ~40 psi into the very little headspace, remove CO2, then shake until the bottle is less firm (CO2 absorbed into beer). Repeat until at desired carb level. Usually I leave it hooked up to CO2...

Also interested in the answer to the question above. I have to dry hop my current brew, so it makes sense to rack on top of the hops, but I would love to do single keg the whole way through if it isn't detrimental. And my first ever pressure fermentation is now on day 2, so I guess it's...

Temp control made a huge difference for my beer. Really, I would have quit brewing if my beer continued to taste like my pre temp control days. Temp control made my beer go from drinkable (usually) to preferable. Speaking very generally, the yeast put out better flavors (or less bad flavors)...
