    WLP530 Abbey Ale Yeast Starter long lag getting started - still viable?

    Is that a heater or a stirplate? Here is a WLP530 done on a stirplate with 1.6L in a 2L flask, no temp control just freerise. I put the stirplate inside a kettle when I make them because 530 likes to ‘splode. This was mostly done in 2-3 days. EDIT: it does look like you are stirring. My...

    What I did for beer today

    Changed blowoff tubes to airlocks. WLP530, started at 65 and up to 75F now and still bubbling. Here are the 1G blowoff jugs with a good 1” on the bottoms. Ferocious yeast.

    My grain mill is more dumber than your grain mill

    I 100% don't remember LOL. I've got a big wood shop and build all kinds of crap (mostly guitars). If the disc was mounted on an axis on a jig, it could be cut with a table saw. Could use a router if it was under table mounted, but that's the one thing I don't have (which is stupid). It worked...

    My grain mill is more dumber than your grain mill

    I used to spin my mill with a drill. I’d always wonder if the batteries would run out before I was done, especially since I like bigger, high gravity batches. I had some decommissioned contraption in my shop using a motor and belt, so decided to adapt it for the mill. I didn’t have a wheel for...

    Calcium Chloride Recall ?

    They're just covering their butts. It would be easy to see even small pieces of blue plastic in CalChl.

    What I did for beer today

    I'm tending 10G of an 8.5% Belgian Tripel using WLP530, trying to keep temps reasonable. I've used it before, but man this yeast is a beast. We're at 40 hours, and it's right at the point where it may ignore the blowoff tube and just rip the lid off instead. Pitched at 65F, kept it around 67 for...

    QuickConnects or Camlocks for hot side?

    Notes from the field: My Camlocks were extremely difficult to engage initially. Looking at it, you would either need to have the silicone washer be thinner, file off some of the ends of the male connector, or file down some of the cams themselves. I wasn't really interested in filing down the...

    QuickConnects or Camlocks for hot side?

    I've never used them before, and just washed my new ones in PBW yesterday. I found them to be very hard to engage, hoping the loosen up a little.

    Announcing the release of 'Mash Made Easy' version 10.90

    On opening MME, the colors were all super dark, rendering it unusable. I'm on a Mac with Excel 2008, and assuming this may have something to do with it. I was able to modify the color palette to get it close to what I saw on the website, but not all the cells. There are also a couple instances...

    Not Enough Malt

    Sure you can add more, I don’t agree with the oxygenation scares. You aren’t doing heart surgery. Try it, it may not be an award winner, but you will learn from it.

    QuickConnects or Camlocks for hot side?

    @Bobby_M I just placed an order with you for a bunch of Camlocks, pump, etc. It occurs to me that I’ll probably want to wash everything before service to get rid of manufacturing oils or greases. How do you typically do that? PBW for everything? Other?
