We're off for MLK day (but the wife is not   ), so brewing 12g of all Centennial IPA to celebrate batch 100 (even though its really batch #104  ).

Looking forward to it - am trying TF Halcyon for the first time in this one.  Been growing up some 1450 all week...

i'm brewing that black ipa i started a thread about on sunday.....

forgot to smack my smack pack this morning to make my starter tonight, so i guess i'll smack it tonight and make the starter saturday morning.....

If you're making a starter you don't need to wait for the smack pack to swell.  Just smack it, shake it up, and pour it into the starter.

cool.  thanks for that info.  this is my first starter.....

yep, the only point of the "swelling" is to verify that you've got viable yeast in the smack pack.  If you're making a starter (which you should pretty much always do), you'll verify the viability with it instead so no need to wait for the swelling.
