    Spike's upcoming eBIAB system

    Not to thread jack but do either of you have links to more details on your system? I’ve been thinking about going electric and wondering if I could manage with an induction hot plate or go the full electric kettle route.

    I subscribed for updates. One question does the basket have a way of draining without using a mounted pulley rig?

    Another LHBS casualty...Who is the best online?

    If you use wyeast or omega yeast labs I recommend ritebrew.com. They offer a yeast pre-order option at good pricing. I use them exclusively for my yeast now(I prefer wyeast) as for grain I do the 10# bags through morebeer and generally wait for a coupon code from homebrewfinds. Hops have been a...

    Bottling from the tap

    I love the way this looks! I have perlicks but forget the model. They do not seal forward is all I can say. I’ve poked around the tapcooler webpage and they list a different faucet adapter. Does that get it to work with my style perlick. You may not know these answers but looking to bump this...

    best source for cryo hops that publish harvest year?

    Do you mind sharing where you ordered from? I don’t have a lot to go on here but wanted to offer my experience. Earlier this year I order cryo form morebeer.

    Simple Yeast Banking with Sodium Chloride

    I ordered the sterile tubes and saline from Amazon. Now I just have to wait to order a new packet of yeast. I have two jars left from my last packet. I should order a new packet in April.

    Simple Yeast Banking with Sodium Chloride

    Yes I know I am very far from being serile in my kitchen/ garage. but I do try to practice sanitary techniques. I am not really looking to “cut corners” more just trying to be economical with my hobby and any time I can reduce the equipment needed and stretch my ingedients and still produce...

    Simple Yeast Banking with Sodium Chloride

    Awesome! Yes I was picking up on the 1:5 ratio. I’m a little fuzzy on this though. Does it have to be exact? And would it be safe to err with a weaker ratio? ie 1:6-7ish? Rather than stronger? ie 1:3 Im imagining the following procedure. Boil sanitize my 250ml flask. Then pour 50ml of my...

    Simple Yeast Banking with Sodium Chloride

    This may be my first post. I love this idea! Am I reading this right? Is it as easy as ordering the sterile products from amazon linked above and pouring in my starter slurry and covering it with the sterile saline? I switched to 1056 and have to order it shipped so I am just looking for a...
