So far, it's not been a slow starter. I sprinkled the yeast on top about 2:30 on Monday afternoon and I was getting bubbles out the blowout tube by 8:30 the next morning. It was bubbling rapidly by Tuesday afternoon. I pitched at 58 and let it rise to 64.

969 + 5 gallons of Altbier = 974

I'm brewing my Altbier today. I usually use WY1007 but I'm trying SafAle K-97. I usually ferment at 60 but the specs for this yeast say at least 64 so I guess I'll try that.

I use clear packing tape and then a Sharpie on that.

Besides the 1990's Barleywine, I have several bottles of an Imperial Stout bottled in 2014.

I've never even thought about sanitizing the capper.

I still have one bottle of Barleywine I brewed around 1995. The last time I had one (a couple of years ago) it was okay, but it tasted a bit bland. The last bottle is in the fridge to drink soon. I also have a 1993 Thomas Hardy in the fridge.

Other than his accomplishments in the BJCP program, what are his accomplishments? I'm not being snarky, I honestly don't know.

I had a pale ale at the Spital Brauerei in Regensburg that was made with Mandarina Bavaria hops and it was amazing, it had so much orange flavor. I tried brewing something similar at home and it didn't have anywhere near as much orange flavor. I imagine the hops not being as fresh had...

I use RO water and just treat all the water in my HLT before I start brewing.

I use 5% Blackprinz malt in mine.

I prefer the regular Weyermann Pilsner malt.

If you're not getting the capacity out of your tanks that you expect, it may be that the air pressure in the tank needs to be increased. I have a two gallon tank on my system and when I checked the air pressure in the tank, it was below specs. After adding some air I got most of my capacity back.

4516 + 5 gallons of Imperial Red IPA (with honey, brown sugar and juniper berries) = 4521

I did that a few years ago. I made an IPA with it that ended up taking second place in a competition. I called it UWIH (Use What I Have).

It easily maintains a boil. I'm electric now so it's been a while since I used it but I never had an issue with the time it took to get to boiling.

I've have one of these. I am satisfied with its performance. https://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-Square-Patio-Stove/dp/B0009JXYQ4
