Quick lesson for you youngsters.

I pitched 11 month old refrigerated yeast 7 hours ago. DONT EVER TOSS OLD YEAST!! Yeastcalc.co said 0 cells left....View attachment 255324

That is great. I would have started at 500 ml.

[Hello]

O yeah! Just sprouted a mini krausen since i started bottling.

Lesson #2 of the evening: never store a party of dregs in the fridge. You may need them on the fly for that extra gallon of saison come bottling time.

So dregs, on the counter, in a fully sealed mason jar is all okay?

I just had that same experience a couple weeks ago. The last smack pack of Belgian Abbey yeast my LHBS had was from Aug 2014 and yeastcalc said 0 cells. When I smacked the pack it took almost two days to get any swelling that couldn't be explained by it warming up. Then I pitched it to a 2 L starter and it took off fine. Fermented my tripel from 1.082 down to 1.008.

I havent seen any issues from it and dont see why there would be anything to be concerned about. It wont be 6 months from when I started this to when it will all be pitched and I start over. The last gallon I pitched a little into went off fairly quick. :rockin:

If you can hang tight for a few weeks I'll hook you up. Not sure about the glassware. But I can get standard bombers and such

Pizza Boy is a haul for me and duff man, but I think mark sends his inlaws as pizza boy mules

Yes, we do.



They distribute some of the sours here now as well. They just sell out very quickly.

@mcbeermanduffbrienerb thanks.

I'm not expecting anyone to go out of their way for anything. Pizza Boy and Tired Hands are just two places I'd love glassware from. And trying the beer would be nice, too.
I really like Pizza Boy's logo and Tired Hands' logo and crazy beer names. So, if anyone is ever near either of them and would like to do a trade, keep me in mind.

DAng, cant complain about that! This is the oldest yeast I have tried to step up but I figured I should give it a shot before having to order more. I actually went to yeastcalculator.com after I checked yeastcalc and it showed like 4 billion cells left haha. Couldnt really hurt to try though and now Im glad I did.

Want.

Not pictured: the red beans and rice and 2 dark chocolate milano cookies that were washed down with this

Still can't find that ... the beer, nom the cookies ...

 

[nukebrewer]

This is pretty awful. Extremely boozy (and not in a good way), borderline cloying sweetness, heavy licorice flavor. Blech!

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Water and watching some girlie movies with SWMBO.

 

[wobrien]

Want.

Yes. You do.

 

[MrNic]

I see you're in Mass, though. Can you get Spencer Trappist? Maybe we can work something out.

Appropriate for what I'm about to bottle:

 

[TheCADJockey]

One beer night for me. Hoping a productive week improves mood. Taxes done, makes for down payment on house. Take Hefe to lhbs tomorrow to determine if it's a dumper or not, and to get ingredients.

Have a pleasant evening you guys.

Why do folks seem to prefer chest freezers as ferm chambers over fridges?

Your welcome! Still haven't cracked mine open. All this talk of a dreg party (trademark pending @finsfan) today has got me thinking I need to drink some of mine soon. At work. I was starting to turn into Betty White View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1423538308.656150.jpg
