Plate chillers are silly. Use an immersion chiller for God's sake. eBIAB is the ideal way to brew at home.

It was a Duda B3-23A 20 plate chiller. I used a pre-filter and still struggled. Plus, total PITA to clean. Of course my experience differs from others but it is what it is. Loving the good old immersion chiller once again, same way I'm loving being back to single vessel brewing vs three...

Fair enough. Would you suggest using the entire available yeast volume; about 300-350ml? ... or are you basing that on the 100ml of yeast?

I take it you are still working on the constructive part of your reply? What would you suggest?

Just eBay'd my plate chiller. Good riddance! Ugh... such a PITA! There's two types of plate chiller users; those who lie about never having clogs and those who eBay their plate chillers.

Nerd Chef Steels are great. I use two in my oven and love them. I think they are 3/8" thick.

I have never heard of a Vitality Starter. Intriguing for sure. Maybe this is a good opportunity to do exactly what you suggest above! Did I really read that you aren't supposed to aerate the batch? I assume that was talking about the starter and not the batch of wort?

Thanks for the replies. I expect to make a starter versus pitching the washed yeast directly. Beersmith says I need 355B cells. I will probably just make a 2.5L starter (1.035) and inoculate it with half of the yeast from the large jar (about 100ml). Any major concerns with that plan?

After my last pilsner about four months ago, I carefully washed the German lager yeast from the fermenter. I have made plenty of starters from commercial liquid yeast. However, I have never made one from washed yeast. I will be brewing another 1.050 pilsner and would like to make an adequate...

I grew them in a tank. .... I knew that was coming.
