How do know how much yeast you are getting? I imagine if you make a starter to build up your top-cropped yeast you could know right? Do you always build it up after harvesting or is there enough such that you just pitch to your next beer? Seems like there wouldn't be that much though. If you do build it up, how many times on average do you build it up to get an average amount of slurry.Charlottegatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431946522932578618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688787244058652492.post-30032229149434391322011-11-15T13:27:29.600-08:002011-11-15T13:27:29.600-08:00Sveiks!

Aldaris produces a porter (Aldaris Porteris) that is very good. I'm sure a clone is out there... somewhere. I've had a similar idea and, in fact, decided to brew a Rye IPA with "Latijas Garā," calling it Rudzu Alus. We'll see how she turns out.<br /><br />Priekā!!BrightSpotBrewingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688787244058652492.post-8108917975040950882011-10-24T18:03:53.707-07:002011-10-24T18:03:53.707-07:00Those are some huge cones!!!

I thought the commercials were hilarious too! If we are that interested in the show, it is highly doubtful we would be that interested in mass produced beer.

I don't really get fluctuations more than around 3-4 degrees during a day, but can vary as much as 10 over the course of a week or two. +/-20 though would be real tough for a fermentation though. They'll either slow way down if too cold or start producing lots of off flavors and fusels when it gets to hot.John Karlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116387804353906234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688787244058652492.post-52044920593327934192010-08-03T20:49:08.447-07:002010-08-03T20:49:08.447-07:00BRILLIANT!BRILLIANT!Quapethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848831432666808085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688787244058652492.post-83825887200959945042010-05-21T22:26:05.244-07:002010-05-21T22:26:05.244-07:00Karlis any before/after comps with temperature reg...Karlis any before/after comps with temperature regulation?

I insulated, dry walled it, and put down porcelain tile floor. I call it my beer cave. Temperature stays fairly stable. Goes up a bit in the summer, but I don't get drastic or quick fluctuations. It works ok for now, though in the future I really want to put some insulated doors on the space and turn it into a temp controlled fermenting space.John Karlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116387804353906234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688787244058652492.post-9543525618516303282010-03-25T08:50:45.500-07:002010-03-25T08:50:45.500-07:00Very interesting.
