General Homebrew Discussion / Re: anyone by chance
« on: February 01, 2010, 11:20:17 AM »There was a guy here in OR who opened a brewery after hitting the lottery. In a few years, he was broke....
I'd try it if I hit one of them $100M jackpots and just needed something to pass the time

Maybe I missed it in one of the posts above but what temperature did you mash this at? Are you sure that your thermometer is accurate?

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: How lolong will harvested yeast keep

I think this is what you're saying but just save some of the slurry in a sanitized jar. Then make a starter using a few tablespoons of the slurry the week before your ready to brew. That will work fine. You wouldn't want to make the starter and then let it sit for a month without adding a little fresh wort to wake things up.

I'm using a regular kettle so I don't know how a keg would fit on it.

Where's the information for submitting entries? I've poked around the site a couple of times but didn't see it. I'm sure it's right in front of my face.

That one says 75K Btu. You'd probably be a lot better of with the SP-10...

...that'll give you 185K Btu and it's only $39.96 with free shipping.
+1 That's what I have and it's a beast. And you can't beat the price.

Equipment and Software / Re: Circular vs Rectangular Mash Tun

I was always under the impression that a round cooler made for better lautering when fly sparging however I see from the comments above that this isn't necessarily the case, so I stand corrected.

If you were going to fly sparge a round cooler would be preferable. But I saw your post that you picked up a 70 qt Coleman Xtreme. That will work great for batch sparging once you get it converted.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Partial Mash As a First Step To All Grain
« on: January 24, 2010, 07:12:43 PM »
I'd consider aiming for 1.045 and hitting 1.042 to be pretty successful actually.

Kai, are the projected pH values in your spreadsheet at room temperature?
