Can I wash/re-use all that yeast in the blowoff At this point, I've already had to replace 2 gallon jugs used for blow off, and since I only have two available, I've opted to just dump the yeast. Plus, I don't have the need for all that yeast, so I'll gladly settle for what remains in the bottom of the carboy after fermentation completes. Despite all that, I am still interested to hear if star-san has any adverse effect on yeast and whether or not this is a safe practice. |

Recovering from low mash efficiency - under-shot pre-boil gravity I should clarify. The actual boil, with the hop schedule was for 90 minutes. Before that 90 minutes though, I had to boil it down for about an hour and a half to two. Thus, it was boiling total from 2.5 - 3 hours. Once I get home and can pull up the recipe, I'll post more concise details on quantities to see if it is indeed within reason. Thanks for the insight though. |

Recovering from low mash efficiency - under-shot pre-boil gravity Yeah, I assumed the error was on my equipment settings. I haven't done a very thorough check of my setup to nail the correct values down, but I definitely need to make sure I get the right settings. |

Recovering from low mash efficiency - under-shot pre-boil gravity Ah, never thought of the DME, although I'd imagine if I'm too far off, adding DME to get it to the right gravity would also impart some off flavors. I'll post up the recipe when I get home this evening. |

How to calculate ratio of crystal malts to get 75L Thank you for the insight. Can you explain how you came up with 3 parts 80L to 1 part 60L? |

Hydrometer exploded I've had similar experiences in the past (both bobbing thermometers and hydrometers). I'm still alive and kicking. |

How much distillers yeast do I use in a 5 gallon batch of beer? Now that I have a lot more experience under my belt with dozens of batches on the books, I would agree this is definitely very bizarre, but it was quite an experience. When I first cracked a bottle, it shot all the way up to the ceiling from being way over-carbonated. I wouldn't do this recipe again as instructed with the additional yeast, but the fish pump was probably the coolest idea for oxygenation the wort. |

How much distillers yeast do I use in a 5 gallon batch of beer? The beer was very interesting. Very malty, quite sweet, and way over-carbonated. It doesn't appear to be an infection, but I'd take a stab that if I added any more yeast and sugar at the end as the recipe called for, I would have had a closet full of bombs. At this point, I only have a couple of bottles left that I'm letting age. It's been almost a year and a half, so we'll have to see how well it aged. For anyone who attempts this recipe, leave out the distillers yeast and wacky bottling. Just go with normal bottling techniques. |
