    Weyermann Barke Pilsner - I made FIRE!

    I can agree there-that is a more thorough and accurate explanation-but these days with the dumbing down of the masses a simpler and more concise explanation as they typically give is usually more digestible to the masses. it doesn’t make either wrong or right and in theory doesn’t change the...

    Weyermann Barke Pilsner - I made FIRE!

    Isn’t the point of the way Brülosophy states their findings have to do with random chance vs the significance of the number of correct selections the triangle test? If their threshold for “reliable” were lower as you are stating them the chance that those selections were equal to random chance...

    Weyermann Barke Pilsner - I made FIRE!

    I’m with you-it seems to do the job I want without negatively effecting beer flavor. It’s a question of a processed byproduct from animals vs a purified colloidal solution of silicic acid (Biofine) so pick your poison?

    Weyermann Barke Pilsner - I made FIRE!

    What about their analytics is specifically objectionable to you exactly? I passed college level stats and don’t find their analysis generally incorrect? Can you post a link to an example of where they made a conclusion you do not support based on the data as you state?

    Best way to vacuum seal homegrown hops?

    Or something non stick like parchment paper. Place a sheet on each flat side of the bag as a liner of sorts.

    Hops have shipped

    2 each of Magnum Willamette Hallertau Spalt(er) Select Should furnish most of my hop needs for normal ales and lagers I do aside from random one off batches where I try something different-assuming they produce enough... I actually think I’ll be giving away some-I hope! If they do well I may...

    Hops have shipped

    Here are the 8 I picked up from GLH today-great looking plants-just need to get their area prepared so I can get them in the ground.

    Weyermann Barke Pilsner - I made FIRE!

    Honestly asking as I’ve not really heard there were many if any.... what are the potential negatives and what process, procedures, etc., lead to them?

    Hops have shipped

    Well, AIH reports (responding even over the holiday weekend) sadly that their supplies from the various vendors have mostly not come in even as of yet... it wasn’t likely that I would get the varieties I ordered any time soon so I requested that they cancel the order-which they quickly did and...

    Hops have shipped

    I placed an order from AIH for rhizomes and am in mid West Michigan-but have not seen or heard from them on shipping... Perhaps I should give them a jingle to see what’s up...

    Weihenstaphen Hefe orignal gravity

    I think so yes. I have had it for over a year now-it’s really changed and improved my beer. I don’t generally advertise my gear, but I have posted in the Anvil fermenter thread about it-I just can’t help it-i really like it for a lot of reasons.

    Weihenstaphen Hefe orignal gravity

    Yup-SS brew buckets are a great step in that direction with a majority of the features at a fraction of the cost. If my brewing was more than just a hobby to make myself great beer I’d probably have a true conical-but my production just doesn’t justify it-as I get many of the same features with...

    Good luck, let us know how it turns out!

    Weihenstaphen Hefe orignal gravity

    Stainless fermenters are what breweries use-for a reason. You can open them up to clean them, to dry hop, etc. Sampling for FG is as easy as turning a value, no trying to sanitize a thief to suck out a sample thru a narrow neck. No worries about light infiltration thru glass or breaking it, no...

    Weihenstaphen Hefe orignal gravity

    Terrible waste, sorry you had that happen :eek: Best thing I ever did for my beer was a SS brew bucket/conical from Anvil. Best $ I ever spent on HB gear.

    Is this enough yeast for 5 gallons?

    For scale and reference it would help if we knew the size of the jar. if it’s a pint jar then I think the above posters are reasonably accurate in their 100ml statements-however if it is a Quart or some other different size jar then that has the potential to drastically alter our opinions.

    Sidearm?

    Thanks-appreciate it.

    Warm Fermented Lager Thread

    Very true-however Fermentis was specifically asked this and their reply was that 2 packs were still required. Thus it’s up to the brewer to determine how they want to proceed-and if the savings or cost of that second package of yeast is worth the possibility of an off batch. Lots of folks, as...

    Warm Fermented Lager Thread

    Fermentis will say that they recommend 2 packs for a 5 gal batch as the lager pitch rate dictates it-I think they are even quoted above in this thread. That said I think the Brulosophy folks did a test of just that, 1 pack vs an over pitch of some large degree. It had no effect. I think your...

    Sidearm?

    What varieties did you try without success?
