Adding water salts to the boil
Hello, so in my research about adding water salts i have read that the salts that would be added to the sparge water should be added to the boil kettle due to the fact that these salts do not have the enzymes in the water or the time necessary to break them down into the water so most of the salts w...

My concern as well
I agree, i was concerned as well but before i gave up on this yeast i wanted to give it one more try at warmer temps, i pitched at 68 slowly raised it to 78 over about 6 days, then moved it out to my garage where i think the temp of the fermentor averages in the mid to high 80's and the yeast seem t...

The word on the street
the owner of my LHBS did a survey of brewers who had purchased this strain and the wyeast equivalent and EVERYONE has had similar problems. He seems to think it is problems relating to this strain. I am going to try to do a small starter with the wlp566 and pitch that on in while in active fermentat...

75%
I have heard the same thing for this strain but i heard that it typically gets stuck at 75% attenuation i am 23pts away from that now i am going to give it a few more days at 78 then crank the heat up on it and see if i can get it to the mid 80's to see if that helps then if all else fails i will hi...

i agree
i just got done listening to 3 hrs of the brew strong pod casts on water and John Palmer had the same advice, so i am mainly trying to hit the right RA and the same chloride and sulfur ratio that my target city has. it seems like i can do this without over "seasoning" the beer. Thanks as a...
