    Guide to Making a Frozen Yeast Bank

    So at the risk of a major thread necro, 4 years, 2 months later I appear to have brought back some Conan I froze in February 2016 using this guide. It survived a divorce and 2 moves. I used 4 soda bottle preform tubes from my “bank” inside a cooler bag with additional ice packs in my various...

    Lambic (BOS, 3rd BOS and Two Golds)

    Highly possible that she recommended plastic in the end. I certainly left mine in plastic much longer than her original recipe. Barrels certainly do allow some Oxygen permeation also, it definitely makes sense. Next time I make this, maybe I'll leave it in the Vittle's Vault the whole time...

    Lambic (BOS, 3rd BOS and Two Golds)

    Another reason is that the plastic is more prone to allow oxygen permeation over time through the material itself. AmandaK originally recommended glass, I found that a Cornie works well also. Reducing the headspace is also a good reason.

    Lambic (BOS, 3rd BOS and Two Golds)

    I made this in September of 2015. I waited a while to transfer it out of the Vittles Vault, probably until January of 2016. Transferred it into two 5 gallon cornies with airlocks to age. Added Black and Red Raspberries to one of the cornies in September 2016, leaving the other pure...

    PLEASE let the Northern Brewer buy-out be a hoax!

    Per terms of AB-Inbev's deal with the government to buy SAB Miller, any brewery acquisitions now regardless of size have to be approved by the government. They probably are done acquiring breweries because of this and are turning to homebrew and other areas for acquisitions.

    So you want to use a commercial keg for fermenting huh?

    Is that a gas-in on the back side of your T that goes to the Spunding Valve for racking?

    FYI, I'm guessing his Spunding Valve on the cornies is like this Jay: http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2011/02/build-spunding-valve.html

    Ohio Clearing out

    I'm in Mansfield and interested in the fermenter (hour North of Columbus). How much are you looking for just for the fermenter? I go to Columbus fairly frequently, but mostly on Saturdays. Thanks!

    Illinois Bcs 462 electric 50A brew system

    I am incredibly curious as to what the sixtel is doing hanging from the hoist. Looks really cool!

    Old Hops for Lambic. Measured 2.3%AAU $14 shipped

    Just curious....what is the process you use to measure the AA%? Always wondered if there was a way for homebrewers to do this with homegrown/unknown hops.

    NEW PRODUCT from Jaybird TC Stainless blow off tube for your conical. CHEAP!

    I assume this would work with commercial sixtels and pony kegs as well? I'm definitely intrigued.

    Inkbird Wifi Smart Temperature Controller, Up to 50% off ($32.5)

    I'm guessing it's because there's no wires with this, it's essentially an outlet on a switch that plugs directly into an outlet with no cables. Once wires get into the mix, you have to worry about resistance, gauge of wire, and distance. Thats probably why they get higher wattage with this...

    Do you need a 1 off Stainless part built for your system? Let's discuss it.

    At work right now, I'll try to get some when I get home tonight. I assume you'll want measurements too, unless you have access to a grainfather in the shop....

    If there is anyone else that isn't happy with theirs, I will pay the price you paid plus shipping to myself to have buy it from you as well. I am interested in it for the higher wattage.

    I'd like a hop blocker/pick up tube combo designed specifically for the Grainfather. The pick up tube that comes with it sucks, it leaves lots of wort behind and clogs easily. The hop blocker to go along with it....to block hops :) Also just considering a SS Mesh hop spider instead, or in...
