I believe the rational is that you use the water utilized in boiling the jars for the washing and storage of the yeast, and since the water was boiled, it contains less oxygen.

I have looked at a ton of videos on youtube re: harvesting yeast. Everyone starts with boiling the jars that they are going to ultimately use to sterilize them. Is there any problem with just soaking them in starsan? seems like it would be a lot easier, and a lot less likely to burn off my...

Dumb question. I have two separate kegerators, with a total of 6 taps, in two different rooms. Could I put the raspberry pints system in the barroom with two taps with flow monitors, and still display the 4 taps in the other room? And if I do this, is there a manual way to enter pours on the...

forget that they look different. I could be wrong, but we don't have a single confirmed view of it ever actually doing anything. not a single video, or even a single anecdotal story, of anyone actually seeing one in person, or seeing it doing anything. I think we actually have more footage of...

http://www.homebrewstuff.com/imperial-organic-yeast-can-a18-joystick.html Has anyone tried the Imperial Organic Joystick yeast with this recipe? It is supposed to be a pacman clone. I'm going to try this recipe this weekend, and am debating between this one and Safale-05. any idea which one...

you are actually only doing something about 45 minutes of the time. I run beersmith on the iphone, and spend most of the down time either pitching wiffleball for my boys, or winning the flag football superbowl in the back yard while it is mashing

4 hours, as long as you clean as you go

The most common efficiency issues has tended to be dialing in the right crush. Crush it a little finer next time and I'm sure you will be fine. I had the same thing. Are you crushing at home or at shop?

do you still like the freezer? saw it at lowes today and was considering it. Does it definitely fit 4 kegs? I was eyeballing it, looks like it will but will be close.

for comparison, this is the boil of another user with a grainfather without a hot rod. my boil without hot rod is more vigorous than this. my unscientific study has shown that people at higher level altitude have no issue with boil. those at sea level struggle a little. but much better with hot...

yes, good point. you can kick it down to 600 watts, i will try that next time. this is the boil with a hop sock instead of the massive hop spider. the hot rod has worked great - bumps it up to boil temp in no time, and no doubt that the boil is vigorous now. I love it.

for anyone looking to see what the hot rod does with a GF, check out the attached video. I had a decent boil before, with the hot rod it is explosive. next step get a smaller hop spider

For anyone wondering what the grainfather looks like with a hot rod, see below. My hop spider is too big, but the hot rod gives it a crazy boil. Very cool. https://youtu.be/q2Nqpr3FhNE

yes, the kettle lip goes between the washer and back of the clamp. works awesome, can adjust the height of the hot rod easily, etc. I switch it back and forth between my grainfather and sparge water tank in half a second.

put a large washer under the wing nut

no, it doesn't require drilling. I have one. you can drill. but you can also get an optional clamp, which will attach to the lip of a vessel. It is a great invention, and a great product.

I have a hot rod heat stick. It is awesome. Just plug it in to the wall and you are good to go.
