Have you tried basic bread yeast? You might be surprised how good a beer it will produce

Says he's bottling in a fortnight (2 weeks) Missing your OG by 16 points is pretty drastic, I haven't reviewed your file but I'd be looking back into method and recipe. Volumes really do need to be known and fairly accurate to have any hope of consistency. Maybe run your method from grind to filling...

I do the same for the most part. Sure cuts the cost down.
I am going to start freezing again so I can build up my yeast bank. At one time I had over 30 different yeasts to pick from. Most came from a cup full of slurry from other peoples" brews. I lost it when I moved.

keep in mind, this "change" takes many many generations to become apparent in the home brewing arena unless the yeasts are abused. The breakdown of the original yeast into smaller packaging is always best practice. These smaller packages can be used to make starters and then the yeast cake can be ut...

I have notes from a single yeast vial that was reused over 12 times by simply harvesting some slurry and refrigerating. Several different recipes. No issues at all. im on batch 6 on some Irish ale yeast right now. As well as reusing from the yeast cake, I take a sample from the original starter and ...

Cooler fermenting will give a cleaner flavour profile that puts the beer forward instead of the byproducts of fer...

for what its worth, I do a flameout addition with no chill and the flavour /aroma is amazing. I believe the hops have time at a lower temp, lots of time. Prior to doing no chill I had a hard time getting any aroma at all. I'm also a firm believer in multiple additions throughout the boil. I do FWH/6...

You cab safely leave the Wort in the Kettle overnight, and never need a Cube. this is pretty much my go to method now although I pump the hot wort to the fermenter to cool over night. I was sceptical the first time and worried but no issues. Next morning I aerated and pitched my yeast. Good to hook

I see, I have 3 people mixed up in the same thread.

Just for interest, I have the camco 4500 ulwd in my boiler for my "other hobby". It is 3 years old and no signs of rusting
