Trillions? More? I know a few billion are in a typical yeast package, anybody have any idea how many would be in a typical fermentation for 5 gallons of wort? Just curious. It's got to be a lot.

The MLT is a 10 gallon rubbermaid cooler, as detailed in the wiki. Not sure why the mash stuck, I brewed a batch just a few days ago with this same system and it didn't stick. Used the same procedure. I got the 2 gallons out and then added another gallon to keep the temperature up, which had...

I brewed this yesterday https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/black-pearl-porter-ag-24243/ Mashed at the prescribed 158F, it dropped maybe to 155 by the end of the mash. I didn't do a mash out. Looking back, I should have. I probably will from now on. I tried to drain the mash at this point...

Thanks! I did indeed use "quick" Quaker oats. Everything went well, although I changed part of my procedure and my efficiency went from 60% to 80%! I used about a pound more grain than the recipe calls for because I was expecting low efficiency again. My OG was 1.071, haha. Wow, you know...

Hey guys, had a bit of a dilemma here. I was going to brew this today but Brewmaster's Warehouse forgot to include the 1 lb. flaked oats in my order. Not going to get it until Tuesday now. What would this beer taste like without oats in it? A lot worse? Could I just use something like Quaker...

Great, thanks guys. Going to brew this tomorrow.

I would love an answer to this question if possible. I'm in a similar situation, I'll probably need to let it sit in primary for 3 weeks. Any input?

Yeah I was planning on a quart starter. I've used one in all my batches except the very first one I did and the fermentation has always been quick and thorough. Would you guys recommend using a secondary fermenter for this? If so, should I just keep watch on the SG to see when it's finished...

Oh, 5 gallons, really? Well that's good to know. I was just assuming based on other recipes I've seen, 13 pounds seemed like a lot for 5 gallons, but as I said I'm new at this. I'll make sure about the grain, thanks for the advice. There's a local store I got to where I've gotten grain for...

First of all, I'd like to say hello to everyone since I'm new here. Anyway, I've been brewing for a couple of years with my room mate and we've only done extract and partial mash brewing before now, but I think we're about to take the plunge into all grain. Also, before I keep going I'd like...
