Hops can inhibit yeast growth so I would not put them in my starters. If you need to add anything, add nutrient or yeast food. Mix a ration of 10:1 (water:DME) ie 1000ml water + 100g DME, boil 10 min., cool, aerate and pitch. You can use any sanitary container for a starter (mason jars work...

That is some funky infection you have there...way cute.

That sounds about right, not very much but does add some. Which means you are still high on your FG. How/what temp did you do your mash for the grains?

I have just started making startes and I have used my glass top without problems. What is the problem with glass tops and flasks? any links?

You missed one thing...stiring the wort will also help decrease the time it takes to cool. I just use the IC to stir with. You can also cover your pot with an extra lid that has a notch cut out. I can cool 10G in 20 minutes to 80* F with a 50' coil and I use the water by letting it flow...

Add your water adjustments in ratio to the water you are using. If you use 2 G of water out of a total 6 G to mash, then add 1/3 of your salts to your mash. Add the rest to the boil. If you calculate correctly you mash should be fine without the 5.2. If you do that your pH will be way off.

Just tried some framboise that is ~6 months. I used only WY labic blend to ferment. It is very sour but good. A little more aging and I think it will mellow a little to near perfect. It was a kit I added rasp to but have now moved to AG...anyone have a good AG recipe? I was going for a...

Just found this and it's only .5 hour away :mug:

I moved to Harpers Ferry about a year ago and have not found many brewers in the area so let me know where you are...and any good hangouts :mug: I have been brewing for 5 years but am still learning. I have started doing AG and 10G batches and love it. I have mostly brewed stouts...

I didn't see the PBW in the cost or did I miss it? Can you PM me with how you want payment? When/Where is pick-up in Fredrick? Contact info? Thanks again. :mug:

Perfect timing! Put me down for six bags total: Two bags: 2-row, TF MO One bag: wheat, pilsner and an 8 lb jar of PBW. Pick up in Frederick, MD. Thanks for putting this together!

Great, I am over by Harpers Ferry and could make it to Frederick...now I just need to get a mill. I also wanted to know if you had a better idea on the delivery date? My father is visiting in Oct and would also like to get in on the order as he doesn't have any clubs/groups by him in NE.

Where is the pick up at?

Thanks for the info, I sent mine in water bottles and paid USPS $10 to ship. So this will save me a few $ Looks like there are a few lables: Shipping Labels Shipping Labels (pre-paid USPS) Shipping Labels (pre-paid UPS ARS)

Thanks. I was also thinking of adding some apple or wine juice in place of some of the water.

They are a species of raspberry Rubus phoenicolasius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I have found a bunch of these berries and have been picking them and putting them in the freezer until I have a bunch. They are a little tart but good. I could not find any reference to making wine with...

Any updates?

1/4 tsp Potassium Metabisulfite (2 Camden tabs), 1/2 tsp citric acid (or any other acid), 750ml water; 2 minutes to sterelize, don't have to rinse. Good for 30 days; don't inhale I have been using this for over 5 years with no problems.
