Yeast and Fermentation / Re: Re pitching chico/1056 from local brewery
« on: May 21, 2013, 08:07:06 PM »
I agree with your head brewer.
Older yeast you have more slury you need to pitch.
Regular pitching rate would apply (1 liter of slury for 1 BBL of lager, 0.5 liter of slury for 1 BBL of ale).
We could also talk about yeast density but let's keep is simple.

Equipment and Software / Re: Those little red cans of Oxygen
« on: May 21, 2013, 08:01:38 PM »Agree. No need for pure O2.Hooray!Do I get a sticker or something? But seriously, on a homebrew level I just don't see the point of pure O2.

« on: May 18, 2013, 08:04:55 PM »Paul,
Or just stay away from oxygen all together.
By doing what?
I use venturi tube and fill fermenter thru CIP ball. No problem fermenting 1072 beer.
That is the biggest beer I make.
I am on yeast 14 th generation and performance is still good.

Mic,
Can you just get oxygen in 5lb bottles?
Or just stay away from oxygen all together.

The Pub / Re: NTSB Recommends 0.05% BAC Limit
« on: May 15, 2013, 03:06:25 PM »Does anyone here even have a legitimate breathalyzer?I saw an add on sensor on smart phone. Not sure how well it worked.
I bought one a few years ago to keep myself safe and legal and I was absolutely surprised at where 0.08 was. Sometimes it's two beers, usually three session beers and it's even been one IIPA on an empty stomach. Point is, when you're drinking you usually underestimate your true level.

Kegging and Bottling / Re: Beverage line length ?
« on: May 12, 2013, 07:32:48 PM »All that happens is that the pressure in the tank will be a bit lower, but way over 12 psi. If it drops from 600 psi to 500 psi in the fridge it's not a problem. The gauge drops the pressure, if you set it to 12 psi and if the tank has something 12 psi or higher, you'll get 12 psi to your keg. It doesn't matter if the tank is 13 psi, 100 psi, or whatever.As my CO2 delivery guy told me
Quote
You will not get higher PSI than that in the tankNo you do not have to adjust low pressure psi.
It is always the same if tank is in the fridge or out.

« on: May 10, 2013, 02:06:22 PM »Also time of used equipment is over.Here's the book the guys on probrewer.com rave about, and it's only $20: http://www.lulu.com/shop/tom-hennessy/brewery-operations-manual/paperback/product-20402206.html
It's definitely worth reading, but I wouldn't consider it a replacement for the BA book. It's relatively short and geared almost entirely toward the brewing equipment side of things. (Don't get me wrong, Tom's the man when it comes to that.) Not much about financing, accounting, licensing, etc.
