Brewing Midwests ferocious IPA tomorrow. Slainte Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Brewing the Midwest ferocious IPA tomorrow. Using WLP 007 (best before May 27th). I have always made a starter. Don't have the time. Can I just pitch the one vial or should I go get another one. Do I risk a stall or a sweet beer with only one vial ? Any thoughts Slainte Sent from my iPhone...

Anyone use brown sugar for bottling. Have 4oz of corn sugar but need 5 oz. was going to add 1 oz of brown sugar. Any issues with this ? Slainte

If you want to get rid of that, go into beersmith mash profiles, check equal amounts box and drain tun box. Then beersmith will only have one amount for batch sparging. Slainte

Yea, font trust the fermonator. I did tape another thermometer to side of Carboy to make sure my probe was reading right. It was bang on with the thermometer ( I use this one for brewing soni know its accurate). Slainte

Probe is taped to side of Carboy protect be some insulation and tape. Outside temp around 75. Slainte

All true. I currently have an amber ale fermenting. The fermonator strip says 58, the thermometer for ambient air says 60 and my temp control unit with the probe taped to side of Carboy says 64. So I guess the yeasties are making heat ! Slainte

The blichmann burner all 72,000 BTUS's. it's the best hands down. Slainte

Beersmith has lots of different MASH settings. Why not choose say a Single Infusion, Full Body, Batch Sparge It's pretty simple, mash at required temp and then sparge at required temp with required water. Slainte

Yea lots to learn. Have to say loads of fun sitting in side yard, mashing, sparging, boiling, chilling and drinking beer. Fermenter now in temp controlled chest freezer, set at 64. Hurry up and ferment !! Slainte

Yes I noticed that the reading at 68 was the same as at 60. And from 80 to 60 it was .001 difference Second AG under my belt. Slainte

Just checked mine it's 60 degrees. Right now the sample is at 68, just have to wait a little bit longer. Slainte

Yea it's in the fridge, I think I read that 68 degrees is the optimum, but don't quote me on that. Slainte
