That's the face of the yeast god!

Posted the wrong pics. These are from seven this morning but you get the idea.

So, I've done yeast starters before and had ok results. This time I really wanted to try and do everything possible to get the most out of my yeast vile. I used an erlenmeyer flask to boil my dme and went right from the flame to ice water to cool it down quickly, which was amazing as well as...

Uh... Do what??

It was a clean trub too. That sucks.

Oh yeah, frozen solid.

So, I washing my yeast from my last batch and put it in the freezer to layer it out quickly and forgot it. Realized what I'd done this morning and stuck it in the fridge on the way to work. I killed it didn't I?

I love this idea and I'll ask anybody anything but how would you even approach that. I would think you'd have to get in on a pallett to even make it worth their wild and I just don't know that many other brewers or need that much grain.

Where can I find the cheapest 55lb sack of 2 row in north Ga?? I wanting to buy bulk but shipping prices are ridiculous. I know I can buy it @ "Brewmasters Warehouse" and "Just brew It" but I'm paying their mark-up. If that's what I have to do, I will but I'm such a cheap ass I thought I'd throw...

Irish Stout turned out awesome! F.G. right @ 5 and very clean taste. No off flavors at all! Thanks for everyone's input. I'm sure I'll call on you again. Cheers!

I think the lowest setting is150 degrees.

Yes, correct. 12 amps. Thanks.

One thing that is a must with these things, is that you've got to have them on the circuit by themselves. There can't be anything on the same breaker that they are on. Like a heat stick, they will pull almost the entire 120 amps from the circuit. If there is anything else at all on the same...

Thanks JLem, Hopefully it will all be ok. I'll let you know in a month.:mug:

No, I put a blow-off tube on instead of an airlock. That particular bung has a more slick surface than the one I replaced it with. I usually go straight from the sanitizer to the carboy and I guess the wet bung in the glass carboy just didn't have enough grip and blew it out.

By the way, my yeast was: WYEAST YEAST STRAIN: 1099 | Whitbread Ale

Thanks "gypsyhead". I'm hoping for the best and at the very least I've learned a lot. BUT, I have a more daunting update... My wife tells me today, that the morning after brew-day, she came downstairs to find that the bung had blown out of my carboy, so she just stuck it back in. AHHHHH! It...

I did not take an OG reading before the water. Man, I really wish I would Have now! Afterwards though, I was at 1.045.

Oh and thank you very much for the reply. You have put my mind very much at ease.

No, I was doing it with a friend's equipment and it took forever to get to a full boil. I started off with six gallons because I usually loose a gallon in the boil. I know that doesn't make sense, since it took so long to boil but I guess I was still losing due to evaporation.
