    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Per White Labs it says Hansen has attenuation matching San Diego Super, so you could use that in BS too

    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Have to jump back in to say KUDOS to White Labs. I passed them the info on my failed starter attempt with the original shipment. Long story short they overnighted (from Cali to FLA) a new vial (packaged very well too) and it arrived today before lunch with the ice pack & yeast still cool. I...

    Homebrew Con - Worth it?

    one more thing to add. HOLY SMOKES & THANKS to all the hop vendors at the expo. i seriously think we all came close to getting our entry fees back in equivalent hops. Super excited to have come home with 2 lbs of Galaxy, along with the incredible amounts of other packets.... cryo...

    Homebrew Con - Worth it?

    I thought as the thread starter on this, I should circle back to answer my own original question. Homebrew Con was definitely worth it. As this was very last minute for me, I’m sure I could have done better if I’d had more time to plan. I seemed a little lost with the schedule and bouncing...

    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Talked to white labs today while at HBC. No definitive plan yet for new vault process, but was told they have to shut down the software system that the current vault order system is setup on. Therefore they're accelerating all orders to production as the need to shut the software down. No set...

    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Ok. So in fairness to white labs I decided to email them about it. 30 minutes after email they are going to be sending out a new one via overnight. So glad they made it right, and renewed my excitement in getting to try this yeast.

    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Glad to hear it worked for some. 48 hrs on the stir plate and mine smells nasty and doesn’t look to have done much of anything. Not sure if I even wanna try again with WL

    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Yeast arrived Tuesday morning. Little over 12 hours into starter and nothing at all so far. Not typically a pessimist but not holding out much hope. Stinks as I really wanted to try this one.

    Santa Ana Brewery Auction

    Some absolutely insane deals for those wanting to go large scale. I run a small side operation buying/reselling bankruptcy auction items. You will pay pennies on the dollar, but be sure you understand time frames to get your purchases out by the required dates. I’ve never seen a brewery...

    WLP075 Hansen Ale

    Just got my email. I’m excited to get the yeast but can’t say I’m happy with the way this is working out. Late June, shipped on a Thurs/Fri from Cali to Florida. I’m guessing for the 3 bucks paid I’m not guaranteed 2 day delivery either. Oh well, I have a can of propper starter ready, and will...

    When your Inkbird controller decides to have a 6° offset and you're cold-crashing - UGH

    During my thaw out when mine froze I decided to add a small fan at the bottom along with an Eva-Dry. Temps seem to stay more consistent even in this summer heat now. I have the fan wired to come on only during the cooling cycle so it’s not running 24/7.

    When your Inkbird controller decides to have a 6° offset and you're cold-crashing - UGH

    This same thing happened to my inkbird about 2 - 3 weeks ago during the “hot” spell we had. Lucky for me it was the one on my keezer. All of my kegs froze solid. Temp read out never said below 43 and the thing must have run for 48 to 72 hours straight before I noticed. I messed with the probe...
