Thanks!

Hmm. First time using starter and this calculator. Dont really know what im looking for. Both batches are 6.5 gallons so 13 gallons total. According to this I need 492 yeast cells which comes out to be 2.5 Liters of starter. If i only have 1000ml flask how would i do that?

Ive got 1000ml flask (actually 2 but only 1 stir plate). Both beers OG are in the 1.05x range.

Just starting to getting into Yeast starting. I have 2 different beers brewing and I want to use the same yeast on them. I also only have 1 stir plate. How would I make a yeast starter big enough for both the batches?

Just purchased, thanks guys

I just finished building my keezer. Just waiting on the drip tray and then I will add photos. Its been going for a day and I already have condensation in there. Its enough to where Im getting water on teh floor. Its leaking right out of the drain plug in the front of the freezer. Im reading that...

Dont i have to run power to 7 or 8?

Sorry, Ive gone thru about 30 different threads in the last couple hours and still cant figure it out. Im turning my chest freezer into a Keezer. I am hard wiring it instead of using an outlet. I already cut and spliced the wires going to the freezers thermostat. There were only 2 wires...

I think you guys may be right. My hydrometer broke a few weeks back. Thats why i got the refractometer. Northern brewer has a converter for gravity after fermentation. As it stands right now its about 1.016 according to the converter on the site. Im going to grab a hydrometer from a buddy and...

Thanks for the insight!

I use Liquid London Ale WLP013. No starter and no top of water.

Ok so I've got a bad batch of beer going on. First off something defiantly happend with efficiency and not sure what went wrong. We brewed 3 beers at the same time and 2 came out just as they should and now this one is screwed up. My next project is a fermentation chamber to help too. Heres...

So a little bit of a problem. My gravity went up! So before adding in maple syrup, lactose, and vanilla beans my gravity wasnt as low as id hoped in the first place. Anyways, so I thought that adding in sugars would lower it and the ABV would go up. When i added in the ingredients there was no...

Thanks guys, great stuff

So Ive got a porter going and its going good. Couple more days and it should be done fermenting. My question is, once its done fermenting in the primary, can I add my ingredients (cocoa, maple syrup, ect) right in the primary or should I transfer it to a secondary and then add? I usually just...

I am making a small batch (stout), 3 gallons. I transferred the Primary to my 3 gallon Carboy and it was filled almost to the top. I then boiled some cocoa, and lactose and put on top. It was pretty foamy on top so i put the plug on and swirled it around a little to get it mixed up. I then...

I am making a porter and its in the primary right now. I want to add lactose in the secondary. My question is do I dump the amount I want in and stir or do I boil it first and then dump it in?
