I just learned about North Texas Homebrew Supply in Dallas, and am looking forward to my first visit and purchase (ingredients for a 5g AG batch). To anyone who's been... what were your impressions?

Is the Midea freezer that fits four ball lock cornies the MRC07M5AWW? It looks like a pretty tight fit... are there any airflow issues that might create warm or cold spots?

Has anyone ever gotten a flag when running a pc scan, saying that BeerSmith is a security threat? I just ran a scan with Norton 360, it alerted me. It's BeerSmith 2, has never happened before.

What do you think of Imperial yeast in general? Considering using their A01 House strain for Yooper's Oatmeal Stout. As an aside, they claim 200 billion cells in a pack.

Any thoughts about Omega yeast? They say that their BRITISH ALE VI (OYL-013) is a good substitute for Wyeast 1335...what do you think?

Other than 1335 and 1450, what are some other Wyeast strains that work well with Yooper's Oatmeal Stout? What about anything from Omega? Austin Homebrew Supply had been my go-to since the LHBS closed in October. But I refuse to pay $9.99 for a single pack at AHS and then another $7.99 for them...

Bought ingredients for Yooper's Oatmeal Stout from Austin Homebrew Supply about three months ago. Crushed grains are in sealed bags, the pellet hops hi were never opened and kept refrigerated. Think it's all still good?

Try a cup or so of straight vinegar without water and "roll" the carboy to coat the inside. Should do the trick.

Unfortunately they're closed tomorrow (Sundays). Was really hoping to brew tomorrow, next chance will likely be two weeks later. My grains were crushed Wednesday.

I was given some cans of Propper yeast starter, using it for the first time tonight. When I opened a can, it fizzed, even overflowed a small amount. Didn't think much about it and finished mixing the starter, including my one pack of Wyeast. Then I saw the date on the bottom of the can ---...

Wyeast's description sounds like it might be just right. What do you think? Have you used it for anything? https://wyeastlab.com/yeast-strain/west-yorkshire-ale

I'd tend to think so too, but some have made the point that other yeast-related factors can influence mouthfeel etc with the same grainbill. And some, including Yooper, have mentioned the increased mouthfeel while still getting the expected attenuation. But enough have talked about...

Good Morning! Planning next Saturday's brew, Yooper's Oatmeal Stout. I've done it before with Wyeast 1335 per the original recipe, but see that Yooper and others now use Wyeast 1450. I like the descriptions of more maltiness and fuller mouthfeel, but am a little concerned by the numerous posts...

Add another 10 gallons for 2021 --- Five gallons Irish Red Ale in August --- Five gallons IPA in October Group total 9,613.5

Why not Oxiclean?

Given the growing popularity of pressure fermentation, it might be good to have a forum here on HBT dedicated to the topic. What do you think?

Thanks for the replies! I emailed the folks at Tilt and asked. Here's what they said: You can use tap water to calibrate your Tilt hydrometer. There is some difference with the dissolved solids but it is negligible for the purposes of SG.

Calibrating my new Tilt, found that it reads 1.003 in tap water at 74º f. A regular floating hydrometer reads so close to 1.000 that it may well be dead on. Should I go ahead and use its app to adjust the Tilt to 1.000 as it floats in the tap water, or would it be worthwhile to wait until I have...

All Rounder fermenter with Blowtie and pressure kit, and a Tilt.

I am all in!
