Do the high density scorch the wort or not? I have read hundreds of threads saying they do but I don't know if these people have tried it or just think it does. Does anyone use them and wish to share. I have two 2000w HD elements but don't know if I should use them or not.

It's been a long brew day, did two seperate 5 gallons batches today. The last one I used nottingham dry yeast and rehydrated it in about 111 degree water. Dont ask why cause I don't know( I guess it was the beer consumed today) is that way to hot, I am assuming it is. Did I fu** up or will it...

Normally use dry yeast or just pitched liquid but decided to make a starter. I know exactly how to do it just curious why I am not getting any krausen. My last two which were both american ale 1056 just had a few bubbles on surface no real activity. I see a nice thick layer of yeast on bottom...

When conditioning in a keg at room temps. I understand hitting the keg with gas to seal the lid, but do you leave the gas on it or unhook it and store. Would just like to take gas off, condition a couple weeks and then chill and force carbonate. Sorry this was posted in the wrong section...
