Anyone have any input on this?

So, I should chill it and pitch the entire starter tomorrow? Or just let it sit out till tomorrow and pitch the whole thing?

On Friday I made a starter for a hefeweisen (wlp300) for a Saturday brew day. I had to delay my brew day till tomorrow (Monday). Will my starter be ok? is the yeast sill healthy for pitching?

You will then need to adjust the amount of sugar you use for the remaining beers. You could add that to the bottling bucket. 25 beers would = around 2.5 oz of corn sugar (depending on what style your are brewing).

I think the aeration was pretty solid....however I am keeping the brew in a swamp cooler at 65 degrees. Should I take it out of the cooler until the process really kicks off?

so I decided to make the move to all grain. I got a Coleman 70 qt cooler and did the conversion. Tested for leaks, none found. I decided to go with Edwort's Pale Ale. Simple grain bill and simple hop additions. The LHBS didnt have cascade so I went with Amarillo. So I started...

Thanks for the help everyone! :mug:

I did run a search and could not find a measurement for table sugar. I am assuming 5 oz is 3/4 a cup of table sugar.

does anyone know a solid number? I am in a pinch and need to bottle tonight. Thanks!

how many cups of sugar should I add for a 5 gallon batch?

Can I use maltodextrin for carbonating by bottles? How much should I add to have the carb style for an APA? SUddy
