I made a BDSA with the 1214 strain. It's in secondary right now and sitting at about 12%. The yeast took this monster down to 1.010 and the flavor is very typical belgian. Very fruity but very good. I highly recommend this yeast strain. Slow to start but make sure you have a blow off tube when...

It's pretty normal for hefe yeast to produce sulfur and have that smell. Don't worry it will subside and your beer will be good. I'd be interested to see how the Columbus will be in a hefe.

What if after you drain your first running you add some boiling water to get the grain bed up to like 170 and leave it till your ready to drain the tun. Then add your sparge water and get your second runnings that way there won't be any more enzymatic activity while the first batch is boiling.

Dude don't sweat that 1214 being slow to take off. I have the same experience with that yeast but once it takes off it does work.

Take a peek. It won't be the end of the world.

So I brewed up BDSA and I staggered the candi syrup additions after active fermentation. I used 1# d180 one day and then another pound the next. But I didn't notice much color change on the beer right away. Then today which is like 5 days later I just noticed that the beer is the srm I was...

Well I decided I'm done fooling with it and bought a hurricane burner. Thanks for the help though

Just tried taking the air dial off and it made the burner work a little better but still a lot of yellow orange in the flame.

I'm gonna try taking the vent off entirely first and see what happens. So is the jet burner the best option for a natural gas burner? I have heard people having problems controlling the flame on those jet burners.

And I heated everything for my brew yesterday with burner flame burning mostly orange/yellow and it seemed to heat and boil everything fine but I want to solve the bad fuel mix before my next brew. I need answers!

So I just converted my propane burner over to natural gas and did my first brew on it. The flame is really yellow/orange and very sooty. It turned my kettle black. I realize the burner is running to rich probably and I need to increase oxygen. I tired to do this by turning the air intake dial...

Honestly it's probably fine. The yeast more than likely would have overpowered any bugs that were in the growler. But that's my thoughts and I couldn't guarantee that you wouldn't ruin your batch.

Well with your second step only being 2l again you went get much more cell growth you would be better served upping from the 2l to 4l or so to get more cells.

I like where your heads at on that one

Sweetwater 420. I love that stuff

It'll have a drop menu to select the category of beer then pick what you have and. It will have recommended volumes to fit style

Tasty brew has one, brewers friends, or just search google for priming sugar calculator. Pretty easy to use just put in the amount of beer, temperature, and desired c02 volumes and you'll be set
