Re: Interesting Evening

Agreed as well. Maybe Steve should start a beer companion/drinking service. I think it would be in high demand. He'll need one of those cellular credit card swipers... :drunken: :drunken: :drunken:

Re: Praxair/CO2 questions

Al Lowe says save early, save often! Can't have too many backups when it comes to dispensing beer, problems only occur after 5pm with a thirsty crowd.

Re: Yeast Starter - the Growing Process

Great post Chris! I find that I go through quite a bit of Starter media in my process. I have always felt a minimum of 2 liter starter is needed, to not only activate cells, but to actually grow more...you have me thinking-- and saving in some starter juice in upcoming batches! :bounce:

Re: Making a yeast starter and stepping up yeast

The 10:1 ratio of DME to Distilled water (roughly 1.040) is what I use in my canning process of making wort starters. I have one pressure cooker that holds four 1/2 gal mason jars, and one pressure cooker that hold 7 quart jars. In the 1/2 gal jars I put 160 grams of DME a pinch of yeast nutrient an...

Re: LBG Community Project.

?.. The problem is the audio. Too many clowns having their own conversations and not paying attention. Maybe we should amplify those rude ass-clowns for a couple of sessions... Then maybe they would get the clue to shut the hell up and listen. Plenty of time for chatter babble during social hour. T...
