Starsan is an acid sanitizer and is effective when wet. You can dunk or spray any object that will come into contact with your beer post boil or wine must. Use it to sanitize all surfaces. Once it has dried objects are subject to contamination (very unlikely if you are using it within moments...

Glad we could help another nearby grower.

Nope. Just cleared the yard. No new growth on old plants. Nothing poking up above the ground cover either. I have some sprouting out of two pots used only for decoration that have been out for a couple weeks now

I have not seen them sprout of old dry bines before. All mine come from the ground but then this is the longest I have left last year's in place before removing. I'll look to see if I have any when I take them out

I haven't done anything yet either. First I will remove the old dry bines. This year I plan to trim all of the initial shoots once they emerge from the ground cover. I'll be waiting until that first batch of shoots is around 3-4 inches to trim. I'll try to limit the second shoots to about 3...

What you want is empty glasses. That would mean that you are all caught up in reading posts. Off course you kind of want full ones too. That indicates an active forum with members participating in the discussions and you have something new to read. As admin for two forums that have nearly...

No No and No Just give it some time. Toss one in the fridge every week untill you see the carbonation level you want then put the rest in. They will improve in quality over time so resist the urge to drink them all too quickly. Start the next batch 'cause these will be gone before you know...

Umm... those are the clean dishes in the drying rack

I poured directly over the original sealed OSB after removing the laminate. Mounting hardware for the drop in sink is attached to the wooden structure under the concrete. I assume you could do something similar.

How about pour in place concrete? You may not get the perfectly level top of a mold poured counter without some work but you can come close. You can also make the surface thinner saving overall weight if that is an issue. I did a pour in place countertop for the kitchen. The countertop was...

I'll second the temp control for fermentation as the first move Perhaps a second burner and pot with valve hot liquor tank for a the tier system. Another option could be a plastic conical fermenting for yeast collection. Building or purchase of a kegging system eliminating most or all...

Skip the secondary. It does not make clearer beer and runs the risk of oxidation and unintended infection. Use secondary when adding fruit or other adjuncts.

I think I understand where you are going here. When I want I specific amount of packagable beer, I would design my recipe accounting for the loss. So if you want 5 gallons and expect to lose 1/2 gallon to trub, I would design a recipe for 5.5 gallons rather than brewing a 5 gallon recipe and...

I smoke a turkey breast to go along with the families "big bird" cooked traditionally in the oven. Here it is about 4 hours in.

I don't have a garage so.... USA WiFi ITC-308 please. Thanks

Use an online calculator to figure out an approximate strike water temp for your amount of grain and mash volume.

My general procedure has been to pull out the jar of yeast when I start the brew day allowing it to warm naturally. You should see some activity as the temp rises. I have recently begun to add some of the first or second runnings from the mash to the jar resulting in more activity. My goal...

Rather than saying it all again I'll just say I concur with the first response.
