Was that a harvested yeast or were you doing a starter to build up a new pack of yeast. i typically do a 1.042 starter to build up a pack of yeast, but anyway, at 1.010, its done
What are you doing with homebrew today?
- Thread starter BOB357
- Start date
Month old slurry. Beer will be 1.040 so I wanted to go lower. The calculator said 3 tablespoons of slurry for the 1.040 wort. I used 3 tablespoons for the starter
sounds good. you're doing what i'm doing. more of a vitality test for the yeast in the slurry. i've used some well over 6months old
Finally pulled the trigger on doing a late Marzen, yeast starter done, start pulling ingredients.
Only have .25lbs of Munich!!!
Damn !

Long work day today, getting ready to clean the two fermenters that I emptied out the other day. Should have cleaned them yesterday but had a big bond fire for the high school spirt week and home coming.
Irish Stout it is tomorrow then.
Began boil. Lost some wort sparring the bag. Oh well.
Time to clean up. Not a bad day
You punching it?

So let’s say one didn’t read the AA on the pack of hops….EKG usually around 5.1 the ones i used today were 4.3. I just noticed…bring IBU down to 30 vs 38. For see an issue? Either way it’s toasty beer
You mightnt even notice
I hope I do it’s the way I always make it minus the IBU
Irish Stout yea? My guess is the bitterness from the dark malts will even everything out. I agree with Ben, probably won't notice
No. You won't notice

Not brewing today, but did load 60 gallons of spring water so I can brew tomorrow. Got home late so will have to unload the barrel in the morning.
