https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=586764 Check out this thread Seabrew. You'll probably have your questions answered. I don't know how you consider having to place this on a counter the reason the advertising is a lie. You get wort out of it the same way you get it out of your...

As it was said above if you have 2-3 hours of down time to drive and don't even include time to drink or buy anything you'll be bored. There is PLENTY to do at Disney. I went in October for my first time and the only problem I had was paying $10 for a $2-3 beer off site but I did get a good...

Amber Ale brew planned for tomorrow. Already have the mash water setup in the kitchen to heat with salt additions made. Mash Tun and grains inside to keep them warmer than the 40F garage for mash in temp and Beersmith loaded up to the appropriate page. I'll have to see what time I wake up to...

It's been really cold the last 10 days in Tahoe. You could wrap it in refletix to help with the cold as you've done but I think the only other option would be a HERMS or RIMS setup. If you make it over to Reno or Carson City talk to BrewChatter (Sparks) or Just Brew It in Carson City. High...

pros: Easier to mix up than boiling DME especially in an erlenmeyer flask. It's easier to store than an opened DME pack or LME pack. Cons: it costs more.

I'm back to this debate since I just picked up a lager yeast locally from 11/3/16 and 54% viability. A flask would cost $40 and 2 lbs of grain would be about $3. For $43 I could make a 4L starter and have enough yeast to pitch into a 1.060 lager vs buying an additional $24 in yeast. It seems to...

Collapsible table from Costco to hold everything you're using is a great place to start. Buying a scale for water additions and hops, If you have a food scale it can help when your LHBS only sells a grain 1 or 2 lb increments and you need less. Cleaning solution, pH meters/strips, computer...

You should be fine. If you check out any yeast calculator put in 20 liters for the starter volume and no stir plate. When you see the number of cells produced and compare it to the number needed for the beer you're brewing you'll be well prepared for such a brew. How are you going from a 5...

I'd pitch both and keep the fermentation temperature at 70.

So you want to see a 10 gallon batch split between a stir plate and just pitching a vial into a growler and shaken whenever a brewer remembers or would you just pitch into a growler and let it sit without shaking? Are you looking to see how fermentation is different (just OG & FG) or are you...

Do you have a way to warm it up if needed? If so you could start warming it up Monday to help the yeast finish. You could also pitch a second pack of yeast Monday.

Yes

Check the link I posted. Starter vs no starter.

I save mine about three or four months before deciding if I will use it again or if I'm keeping it because I'm trying to be cheap. If it's a special strain it might be worth brewing a batch of whatever it is to keep it fresh. I have some yeast that's 3 months old and next weekend I'll be doing a...

This. Easy to package and print at home then drop off. All I've ever been asked is if I want a receipt. I never do since I printed it off myself and it has the option for a receipt. Also snow globes are popular to ship around this time of year and if you line the box with a garbage bag it...

I wouldn't worry about it. I use to put flashlights on the top of mine to see how close to the top it was. Put a large shirt or sweater on top if it makes you feel better but remember people ferment in carboys or better bottles and don't cover them. My lambic is in the laundry room currently and...

What can you get from New Glarus currently?

214.5+5.5 gallons Australian Sparkling Ale. Brewed 1/1/16 and it should be done fermenting this weekend.

MY Mindset went fro "follow the recipe" doing extract to "I need 10 gallons because it's gone so fast" to "its cheaper to do all grain" and is now focused on brewing beers that don't contain flaws according to BJCP standards and I want to enter more competitions with my brews just to get...
