Haha, I actually already looked at that the other day. I ran into the link on another post. I was drooling over it (and your beer!!) for quite some time. Very nice setup, looks like you will be opening a micro-brew in your house soon. Too bad you live all the way down in Florida!!

Excellent, Those are very good suggestions, I can see both techiniques working well. I actually do All-Grain (just converted from extract brewing) on a duel converted 15 gallon keg system. I ussually ferment in a 6.5 or 7 (?) gallon bucket so space isnt that big of an issue. I didnt think about matc...

Thanks for your help Bill, and that kind of answers the first question of why you should use a starter. Still however, my bigger concern is with the amount of liquid that a starter generates and the diluting effect I am afraid that would have on the wort, how do people deal with this? or Question #2...

Yeast Starters
Ok I have yet to use a yeast starter in any of my beers (about 5 batches) ranging from 1.044 OG brews to a 1.10 OG barley wine. The beers thus far have come out great and fermentation has gone well just pitching the whitelabs vial alone (70-120 Billion Cells). Everybody seems to talk about making a ...

Brass Fittings
My friend and I recently have used brass compression fittings to connect two homemade wort chillers into one of suitable size. Is there any problem with using brass in the wort. Doesnt seem like there should be, but I thought I would ask just to be safe, and cant find any general info online.

I am not sure how long you have been using the beer machine, but my friend and I started with one and had very little success with it. The PSI gauge was never really accurate, we got 3 out 4 batches come out sour, even though our sanitation routine was excellent. The tap valve on ours also unexplica...

Hydrometer Issues
Hi, I am an extract brewer and have done about 5 or 6 batches to this point. From the beggining the Hydrometer which I have been using has given me unexpected readings, often .01-.02 different than what I would expect. Its not too big of a problem in extract brewing and the beer has come out great, ...
