yeah the dude at my store said just to get a mason jar and just swish it around every time i walk by it for a day. I figured it would be a little easier with the flask due to its shape, and since i don't have a mason jar id have to buy something anyways 😅

yeah i think my biggest issue was not doing the starter. I think ill take a trip to the LHBS to get the stuff needed. They actually have the flasks for cheaper than amazon lol.

Awesome thanks! 50 does sound like a good deal

I was gonna wait at least 2 weeks before measuring, or if its possible to add more yeast i may check it before buying more.

Hmm the gravity was higher. So would it be worth buying another pack and throwing it in there or has that ship sailed?

Yeah it was within the date listed. Being that this isnt the first concern I will definitely ask if there sre other yeast brands available. The recipes I've been getting all have called for white labs, im sure if they have others it can be substituted. I will also look into the starters going...

Ah i didnt know that. I had similar scenarios with the glass carboy but was also different style of beer. Thank you!

Much appreciated. When i searched i didnt see much. Most was talking about the time difference which wasnt a big deal to me. Ill check those out.

So I have recently switched to all grain, still learning as my first batches have just been average at best, and been doing BIAB. Last equipment purchase i made to get certiain items came with the coolers to give me the option to do 3 vessel or BIAB. Now i guess im wondering are there any...

Cool i appreciate the feedback. Recipe is from my lhbs store so i wasnt as much questioning it vs just posting for reference. I like a vanilla porter but they didnt have one 😅 I was aiming for abv of 6% at least but ill go thr route for the vanilla beans. I had no idea that was the process for...

Hey all, Looking to make this porter next. Id like to turn it more into a vanilla porter and was wondering about how much is recommended to add to 2ndary. Also i was thinking of adding some light dme to up the abv and maybe adding some lactose. Also wouldn't mind some feedback on that lol...

Whats everyone smokin today?
