What is the OG of the beer that you are making? You may be able to get away with 1 vial with option one, if the beer that you are brewing is normal or a smaller beer. Check out Mr Malty.com for a yeast pitching calc. Its what I use for help. Tony

yes same yeast all batches. If its a low flocculation, you think its not attenuated enough? The final gravity was ok. I cant really tell if it is yeasty, the spices cover up of any off flavors.

I do not have the recipe on hand, AHS special holiday ale, the yeast is an east coast ale (wlp008). I fermented for two weeks in the primary. (I don't use a secondary anymore.) Crash chilled for two days after that then kegged. Its been chilling in the keg for about 7 days at about 40 F. Hoping...

I made a Christmas ale, with a gravity of about 1.050 (AHS special holiday ale) I have brewed this many times before so I know what I get. This beer is the first time I used a starter tho....I kegged it last week it has a haze to it. I noticed it looked a little off while I was racking. I...

Guy Thanks for the information (all). A few questions, which arm is the wiper arm, the middle? Also pictures from the said post has just the red (+) wire from switch/power running to the pot, the red (+) wire from the fan on the middle (wiper arm), then black (-)/ground wire back from the fan...

I believe the fan is 12v dc and 1.4 amps. Which is 16.8 watts?

I am just worried that the extra power will heat up the pot maybe short it out. Is this not right? I do not know that much about electricity and circuits ect. Thanks PS everything works great otherwise.......

I am building a stirplate in the likes of the cheap and easy stirplate idea that was posted by Anthony Lopez started a few years ago. I have a 6v 700milli amp wall plug (this configuration runs at 4.2 watts)?, using a 25 ohm 3 watt pot to control the speed of my 12v computer fan. What size...

I am kegging.......tonight, after it thaws. The fermentation was complete tho. I hope it didn't effect the flavor too much. This red was sort-of botched from the get go, my recipe called for roasted barley 200 L all AHS had was black roasted barley at 500 L. I didn't catch that little number...

I brewed a Irish red, had it in the primary for 14 days then I crash chilled it. That may be an understatement. HAHA I put it in the fridge after fermentation was complete, turned down the temp- never checked it. Four days went bye rack into keg last night and its FROZEN!!!!!! A funny thing was...

+1 I have been brewing this for the last three years. The first time I brought it to the family Christmas they were a little iffy about trying something a little different. They never had a holiday ale before. Now, they love it!!!! I need to start brewing in 10 gallon batches. May bring a...

thank you, was being lazy. smile

I was wondering if any one has an opinion about fermenting in a plastic 5 gal "spring water" jug. Is there a difference from a plastic "better bottle" from my LHBS. TONY

I would say that you are good to go. I leave mine in the primary for about 10 days, cold crash then keg it when making my wheat with no fruit. With fruit however I leave it in the primary for 7 to 10 days, rack onto the fruit in secondary then bottle/keg after another week or so total about 21 days.

I am confused are your kegs stainless? I thought kegs come in aluminum.

Thanks for all the replies.

Does this sound about right? Can I put it in the keg, purge the oxygen and then store?, will it carbonate naturally in the keg or do I still have to force carbonate later? or do I force carbonate to get the proper carbonation, then pull off the co2 and then store it for a later time. Thanks...

Can you store your homebrew in the corney kegs?, if so for how long? Does it need to be carbonated first? or can I just leave it in the keg. I am about to ramp up production for the summer. I am new to the kegging way...... Thanks TONY

thanks for the reassuring answers.

I just bought a 24 qt s/s stock pot on eBay. The inside is a brushed finish not mirrored. Does this matter? It is stainless steel and smooth, but a little worried. I though I was getting a deal but maybe not. Thanks Tony
