Here's some pics from todays brew session. This time around I remembered the Seeds of Paradise, quite spicy to the tounge when crushed.
Had some issues with my wlp830, that maybe weren't even issues.
Created a starter, it took 5 days before there was any activity, and smelled a bit. (was first starter so I'm not familiar with "yeasty" smell) I borrowed a tube of 833, and it's starter took 3 days before activity as well. In the meantime a friend gave me some 830 from a Dort he brewed back in November. His 830, and my new 830, smelled exactly the same, so maybe I paniced over nothing. Either way, I now have ALOT of 830, and a fresh starter of 833 I can store.
Maybe the problem is taking the yeast out of it's "window" with ~64* temps. I don't know. Any input in this area is greatly appreciated.
So here's the carboy filling. And the damn chihuahua crying for his sample.. He's a beer lover...
What's really great is now he's laying outside the bathroom "guarding" the brew.. lol.
