I used WLP029 for an Oktoberfest. I was my first attempt at a pseudo lager. I fermented in the mid 50s. The yeast did not mind at all. In fact, it was one of the longest and steadiest fermentation I have seen (Not a pro, only 18 brews). The airlock was steady burping for 7 days. After two...

Use Kolsch yeast and ferment in the mid 50s. Lager for 2-3 weeks in mid 30s. Boom. Pseudo lager.

A spray bottle of Star San is an awesome tool. As long as you mix it up with distilled water, it will last pretty much forever. Good luck!

Sounds like you need to start looking into yeast harvesting and storing. Why buy yeast when you can continue to reuse it?

BIAB is all grain Just an easier and simpler way of doing it which is also cheaper than the traditional methods.

The temp inside the fermentor is likely going to be a bit higher than water surrounding it.

Well.. there is one surefire way to find out, and it involves a hydrometer... I wouldn't take a gravity reading quite yet. Lack of airlock activity does not equal no yeast activity. Might just be the first two days the yeast were going crazy and now they are eating away at a more...

You know it's spelled pumpkin, right? Not pumkin? I would be careful with clove. It tends to overpower everything else. I don't add it at all anymore.

If anyone is still buying vanilla beans at the LHBS they are crazy. http://www.ebay.com/sch/vanillaproducts/m.html?item=290678146987&hash=item43adc487ab&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 about 50 cents a bean in bulk shipped free. Split it up with family or friends if you...

Yes, extract will work great. In the future, save yourself some cash and make your won. Go on Ebay and buy bulk Grabe B Vanilla beans. They are just over 50 cents a piece in bulk. 2 beans split and scraped in a liter of vodka for a few months and viola! You have your own extract. As far...

Yes, I love them. The more intense the better. I want to be assaulted by pumpkin pie spice and flavor.

You probably need to drink a lot more water daily.

Cool just bought it! Good deal. Took half a day to get the code sent via email.

I did a BIAB mash in my kettle and had a hell of time keeping the temp right. I am going to get a 10G Home Depot cooler and mash in that. Problem should be solved. I don't know why more people don't do it, easy clean up and relatively inexpensive.

Can you download to multiple devices? (i.e. desktop and tablet)

Love the site and the ability to customize any recipe. They are also the cheapest by quite a bit over any other site I have seen.

Don't know if I would drink something called "nut butter"
