Wow it's like XMas in June. My Fermzilla G3.2 arrived today with more hardware that I needed. I also got the pressure lid to ferment under pressure and use it as a way to attach my Hop dropper from my CF5 to it.
What came in the mail for you today?

Bushings for my JSP mill, so it will better survive motorization.
1# each Cascade and Centennial and some assorted dry yeasts.
15# each of Munich, Vienna, and MO. I had plenty of Pils and 2 row but was down to less than 2# of both Munich & MO, and 8# Vienna. As a 5.5 gal. brewer I won't be needing to order base malts for awhile.

I use Belle Saison and Nelson Sauvin regularly. I have 2 packets of Voss and for the life of me can't remember why I bought it. What is it's best use?

A new refractometer (the old one started going haywire). Looks identical to the last one, they're all probably made at the same Chinese factory. Old one lasted 5 or 6 years, hopefully this one will last longer. But for $19, can't complain too much.
Also replenished some CaCl2 and Whirlfloc. Exciting stuff.

"German Wheat-Style Ale Yeast"?
Cheers!

Yes sir for a sugar wheat ale I’m about to brew with steens cane syrup.
I was just commenting on the label - "Munich Classic German Wheat-Style Ale Yeast" is a mouthful
Also, I've seen that yeast in a simpler labelled packet...

Oh totally agree ... apparently some one in the marketing department thought ... "let's add more words, it will make it feel more better"I was just commenting on the label - "Munich Classic German Wheat-Style Ale Yeast" is a mouthful

They are different yeasts. "Munich" is now rebranded as "Wit." Munich/Wit produces less esters than the Classic.

Interesting because I received the "Wit" today and it is labeled Belgian Wit-Style Ale Yeast
Yes, they renamed Munich to Wit.
These are both new branding so if Munich is Wit … what is this package of Munich then?

Not trying to be difficult … just trying understand because I have plans for both of these yeasts in 2 distinctly different beers.

British - apparently some US company stole my name
That's not "Munich", that's "Munich Classic", which has always been called that, it's the Lallemand version of the Weihenstephan weizen strain, like Wyeast 3068 etc
Yes it was really confusing them having "Munich" and "Munich Classic", which is why they rebranded the former.
Ahh okay … now my brain has caught up with this. Thanks for the clarification.
I can not continue on with my original plans for these yeasts.
Craft on!
Silver medal for our port-style wine. Wish I could have done more for beer, but I'll take what I can get.

I'm answering a bit late, sorry.
I don't know what Voss are best for, but I used them for casual light beers: pilsner malt and a dash of light caramel malt or pilsner malt only, hopped with one variety (polish oktawia or marynka). These beers were fermented in the lower temperature range and came out decent on the one hand, and quite bland on the other. When hopping with oktawia (Smash pilsner-oktawia) I gave it more so it was more noticeable and pleasent, with the marynka and the addition of caramel the beer went more British.
Only recently I gave them the wort after schwarzbier / cold robust porter (hehe) and it turned out fine.
A pretty good deal on Amazon (I think).
The disconnects (CMB) were about “normal” price for each pair and the yeast was $6.05 each with 12/2024 dates.

I received the pressure fermentation kit from Morebeer that completes my new Fermzilla G3.2. It consist of a floating dip tube and 2 quick connects. Also relieved and extra gas QC they call it a carbonation and cleaning cap and a 5 micron diffusion stone. I thought it was an are
I thought it was an Aeration stone but what ever. I can now actually ferment in the thing. Thanks to both Morebeer and Kegland for the vague descriptions of what comes with the Fermzilla and which extra items you need to use it. But now I know. And if you are interested in purchasing one, read the info carefully. To get your bang for your buck, it will cost you extra bucks and time while you figure it out and wait on the necessary components to arrive.
Bucket opening tool. Works pretty well without sloshing the fv around when opening. I wonder why I wasn't smart enough to search for something like this when I first started brewing?
Slowly gathering extra draft equipment for an event I’ll be serving multiple kegs at that is still close to a year away, but I figure they won’t get any cheaper if I wait. Plus some yeast to make a raspberry hard lemonade sometime soon.
Two FLOTit 2.0 floating dip tubes that I subsequently discovered probably won't work in my Northern Brewer 1 gallon mini kegs. Oh well, planning on getting larger kegs soon anyway.
My buddy is a route driver and he’s pretty confident it won’t happen. But reading that article leads me to believe if an agreement is reached and the demands are met, you can bet there will likely be a noticeable rate increase to offset the costs.
