Are your starters for liquid yeast?, this is definitely needed, but with dry yeast it isn't. Just checking... I always use liquid yeast. I'm wondering if this one would work. Some HDPE like the Winpak seems to be able to take 100C/212F. Some specs say only 65C/150F. for HDPE. Seems to depend on the...

I bought two of these, #71153, from us plastics. Yikes, these are what I was looking for but they cost the same as a 6 gallon cube. 6 Gallon Winpak - $18.08 http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/images/products/bottles/75030p.jpg 1/2 Gallon Nalgene - $17.34 http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/images/produc...

I guess what you want to do is use your current brew to create a starter, so you can pitch the cubed wort when the starter is ready? This is correct--I think the easiest way to do this is cube the majority of the wort in the standard no-chill cube, and then cube a little extra (or just the remainin...

I did s Hugh gravity mash with lager malt and froze it in bags. I dilute and boil in my conical for starters Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk I like this but, despite the fact that I have 2 large chest freezers and a regular fridge/freezer combo in my small apartment, I am out of freezer space so ...

My method is almost identical, though you don't necessarily need a heatproof vessel. I decant the whole kettle (with hot break) into the no chill cube, you are going to get cold break in there anyway so it doesnt bother me too much. (BTW - I rarely store my cubed wort for long periods, and usually ...

Bob, this is what I was thinking about (adding the roasted malts after an hour). However, presuming that I'd treated the water prior with some lactic acid, since the dark malts will drop the pH, does this negatively effect the steeping of the dark roasted malts? And does this hurt the boil/fermentin...

How do I handle Mash pH when cold-steeping dark grains?

I'm looking for advice for a few scenarios for a Russian Imperial Stout. I live in San Diego and have fairly hard water with high residual alkalinity. I'm looking to reduce astringency. Scenario 1: Cold Steep Dark Grains and Add to Fermenter or Late in Boil Cold steep all dark grains over night in t...

Bob, maybe it has been mentioned somewhere but does the hop schedule for this one presume chilling? I.E., should I make the usual recipe adjustments if putting this one in a cube?

Ideas for a portable hoist/stand to attach pulley.

I live in an apartment in Southern California and brew outside. Lots of great days for brewing here. I'm looking for some type of portable stand/hoist/whatever that I can attach to a pulley system for lifting double batches of high gravity beer. My Equipment: Blichmann Burner with Leg Extensions 80 ...

Drywall Mud Masher (Potato Masher Style Mash Paddle) Safe?

Went to home depot after a recommendation from this forum looking to purchase this $12 Home Depot Wal-Board Mud Mixer . However, after looking at it, the handle appears like it is painted and gobs of epoxy hold the masher to the handle. I didn't buy because it didn't appear food safe. Am I wrong? He...
