do you guys cover the bucket of star san mix when you are not using it, or just leave it open?

it will be fine, you will make beer. 05 is great, and will work through a variety of temps.

for all the people on the fence about the GF, I was one of the first adopters. I have over 40 batches in it, it is a great piece of equipment. I have had a bunch of posts on it - trust me you will love it. the boil is fine. the beer is good. it is easy to use and to clean up. delicious.

looks awesome. I'll be right over

I love costa rica, spent my honeymoon there many moons ago, playa conchal and the four seasons on the west coast, beautiful country great people

yes, as mentioned above, let the beer do its thing during fermentation. your batch should be ok, but you removed a bunch of the yeast, may not get full fermentation, or it may take forever. The krausen will drop out on its own, one of the ways you can tell when the fermentation is getting done...

recipe looks good. I would move up the first addition a little. or maybe add .5 oz chinook at 60 min?

Thank you for posting this. I had one that looks just like this after 3 weeks. High gravity double IPA. Never had one look like this, but it is starting to drop now

Should be no problem splitting it, just make sure it is completely mixed before.

In please ! Thanks

yeah, there was a little smell, much less that brewing. and without the hops, just a very faint baking bread smell.

yeah, I let it sit for a day to cool down, then removed the bands. Just have to make sure I don't lose the bands now lol. I ended up measuring out 85 grams of DME, and put it in each jar, and then added 850 ML of water to each, and threw them in the canner. I guess it saved a step since I didn't...

canned my first wort for future starters today (well, canned my first anything, really). Surprisingly easy and quick. Thanks all for the help

dumb questions on this - i am assuming I don't need to sanitize the jars / lids before using them to pressure can? I feel like i should, but the purpose of the pressure canning is to sanitize, so i guess not?

True, my bad, reading my post again, didn't mean to come across snarky, just a different question than the answer given, but after 4 ipas I could see how my response could be bad. I apologize.

Great article do you think you could save s step by not boiling the wort beforehand, and instead cooking wort while it cans

I'm thinking of starting to can my own wort to make starters easier to make (thanks Homercidal for the idea on another thread). I started watching videos online on youtube, looks pretty easy. one video I saw looked fascinating - add DME to water in the jars, cook it in the pressure cooker at 15...

i use a 300 micron hop spider. works awesome.

Do you have the parts list and/or instructions how to add the temp probe?
