Its 3 year old mixed star san? do you have anyway to test the ph of it? that's how you can tell if its still viable.

The star san you keep in the water jug, is it mixed or the concentrate?

7701.5 + 5 gal orange/coriander pale ale 7706.5

cant help you with the second part, but for the first, what I have been doing lately is using a pitching calculator to see how much I will need and then overbuilding my starters and storing the excess in sanitized mason jars.

Brewed this today. Decided to build a starter with the oberon dregs. First couple days had me worried as there was no sign of activity, but stepped up as per usual. At 1L this yeast took off, i almost switched over to a blow off. Split the 1L into two .5L and built both back to 1L. Pitched one...

Good for them.

Sounds like a similar setup to mine. I used liquid nails to attach my collar although mine is pvc board and not wood. I then ran a bead of caulk along the inside bottom and in the corners.

I have just begun to overbuild starters, split them, saving half and pitching half. Is there a limit to how many times I can keep doing this with the same yeast before I start getting some unwanted mutations? Right now I just have 1272, but I plan on doing this with any yeast I buy in the...

Yup completely forgot you were doing extract, you will get the minerals you need from that, just get some RO water and you should be good to go

I get more pineapple than anything from G/M/C. Try C/M/Azacca, i got wonderful tropical fruit flavors/aromas from that combo, i actually liked it a little better than C/M/G.

There are slight differences to each yeast, it all comes down to personal preference. So until you use them and can decide which you like best, it wont really matter. A lot of people use the GigaYeast (or another manufactures strain) for this type of beer. I've used it before but I actually...

I heated strike water to 161, after adding bag and grains and stirring in, i was at 152. Mashed for 75min, stirring every 15min i ended up at 147.5. Preboil gravity was 1.074, boiled for 90min. Post boil gravity was 1.10. Built up a 2l starter of 1056, pitched at 66F. Left in primary for 4 weeks...

Ive never done extract so cant help you with most of it but #2&3 go together, they are part of the same step. You cool the wort to 180, add the hopstand hops and leave them for 30 min. After the 30 min you continue cooling to pitching temp. This is common practice for this style of beer.

Welcome! What part of VA are you in?

I ended up only leaving it in secondary for about 6 weeks, I needed the fermenter so I transferred to a keg about 4 days ago. Ill let it carb up and then I will bottle off the keg because I will need the keg in a few weeks as well and I don't need 5gal of a 9% stout on tap when its 100 degrees...

gonna brew this next and I have 2 yeasts on hand I can use. Have 1272 and the dregs from a 6pack of Oberon, which do you think would work best for this beer?

Columbus Brewing Company - GET SOME BODHI, one of the best IPAs in OH. If they have any Creeper, get that as well its their IIPA. Jackie'Os is always solid, you should be able to find it in stores. Zaftig Brewing Co - in Columbus, Ive had a couple different IPAs from them, Juicy Lucy and...

I want to thank you guys for your help. I have managed to keg the beer mostly from disconnecting and reconnected the liquid QD and getting 1/8gal flow each time. So that's the good news, hopefully haven't ruined this beer in the process. The bad news is I haven't fixed my issue. When my current...
