Definite maybe....I got my lawn mower in the tank right now with a cream ale so maybe next month?
Just pulled grain bag and added FWH. Fresh pack of challenger hops smelled super nice
Chilling wort
Transferred a little over 4 gallons of amber lager wort onto the 34/70 yeast cake from the pale lager I just finished. I used my new wort chiller, which worked well. And aerated with a new paint stirrer attached to my drill, which seemed to work 
it's sitting at 65F now, but I'll ferment it at 55F. I want this lager to be dry and crispy

Thanks. Calculator says 12 SRM, so it'll probably be around 14 in the glass. I'm fermenting this one low and slow, but there's a whole yeast cake so I hope it takes off fast
I'm sure it will!

Possibly and very safely a greater amount of active yeasts these will ferment faster when the temperature drops can control the tumultuous fermentation but once the fermentation is finished it would not leave much time in contact with the sludge. It could take on not very pleasant flavors.

In that sediment are found, live yeasts, dying yeasts, and dead yeasts, in addition to proteins. Normally with the washing of the yeasts the amount of elements that could give problems is reduced.
Keep an eye out for fermentation descriptors to be sure that everything is fine. Good luck and go ahead.

Tis how you recirculate aye?
I've been playing around with different hose positions laying hose curled to the side.
Might try this straight in the middle approach.
I usually get 93% mash efficiency but love a great luter.
I keep trying differet things. i'm usually 73% mash eff but a little higher today. simple tube to the middle worked well today. long tube along the side was actually the worst. id made something of a whirlpool around the outside and compacted the malts in the middle. i came up .009 under on that one.
Mash is done
This is going in at flame out grated up and added to that bag along with 40g EKG.
And there is 20 leaves of lemon Myrtle in there too.
This is the kind of brewing that really appeals to me

Didn’t boil off enough so gravity is short. Oh well more sessionable
Well I think I boiled off too much lol.
I did take 1.5lt for starter
She's all wrapped up till tomorrow now
