Hello brewers, I’m planning on brewing a beer and ferment it with a sake yeast. Looks like it’ll be the WLP705 Sake yeast from White Labs (http://www.whitelabs.com/yeast/wlp705-sake-yeast). I’m seeking first hand feedback from people who brewed with such a yeast : - what kind of beer you...

:d

So I just took a measure. 73F and gravity reads 1.01 I guess it just went really fast! Tastes good (like a young beer usually tastes : lots of rough yeast aromas/flavors and lots of rough cereal flavors). Cheers!

Yep. I totally get it! Thanks. :)

kh54s10 : I have two identical 20 litres carboys and also one 45~50 litres carboy that can hold the two 20 litres. I thought that mixing the two together could help "re-launching" the dead carboy. Surely, I’m aware that there are risks of also mixing infection, creating oxydation, etc...

Again, thanks a lot guys! Okay, this is kind of a weird work around but what if I blended the two carboys in my big carboy than re-separate them in my 2 20litres carboys and put them back at 21C/70F. That should help?

Thanks a lot BrewKnurd! Appreciated. Do you think we should blend the two in one 45 litres carboy? The problem is that carboy does not fit in my temp-controlled freezer and temp will be oscillating from 16C to 18C (it’s in my basement). So we’ll loose the 21C , which I guess is not...

Correction : I should have said after ~55 hours. Not 72 hours the fermentation stopped. It’s kinda fast (too fast), don’t you think?

Thanks guys. Like I said, I’ve been brewing for a bit more than 2 years ; I know fermentation stops at some point... :) The thing that bothers me is that one carboy (of the same beer, same yeast, etc.) is still fermenting strong while the other is completely "dead". That does not seem...

Hello everyone, Last weekend, we brewed 40 litres of a farmhouse type beer. 20 litres went into a glass carboy and the other 20 litres went into another identical glass carboy. In each we pitched 1 vial of WLP670 American Farmhouse blend from White Labs...

Had the same questions. Thread was really helpful. Thanks everyone.

:ban:

So I finally opened it and found that - if I’m not mistaking - they did send me a 110v!!! http://tinypic.com/r/2sadx0g/6 Anybody can confirm this? Thanks in advance.

Okay. I’m learning. Funny thing. I re-looked at the box and operation instruction sheet I had with the STC-1000. Box says "STC-1000 110v" and operation instruction says "Power supply: 110v". I guess I can confirm they sent me a 110v by opening it and finding a 110v transformer (?) in the...

I was watching, just didn’t know what to watch...

Again, thanks a lot for answering my answers - on both forums ;).

Oh. I see. Are there any 110v ebay temp controller? Coz I’m almost afraid of converting it... doesn’t seem that simple especially for someone like me who barely understands what 220v means...

Oh and I did search the forums for "STC-1000" and I hadn’t found anything?! Anyways, thanks.

Woah. Thanks a lot for all the infos people. Really appreciated. I indeed bought that one. A brewer that was referred to me by a friend told me it was the thing to buy. Have no clue what 220v or 110v are though... I’ll look into all the infos you sent me. Thanks.

Hi, I bought the STC-1000 temperature controller online. http://bit.ly/IRwhz0 I was wondering if anyone had the same device and if they could share infos and pictures on how to wire it to my fridge’s on freezer’s power supply. There’s a bit or re-wiring to be done and I want to be sure...
