Has anyone on here used these yet? I hear Capital Brewing had them installed recently also. From what i read very user friendly, accurate and reasonably priced.

Yeh I know I didn't get mine til August last time.

Had any luck yet? I am also after some cascade rhizomes but have only found them on ebay and am a little hesitant to buy them since they cost twice as much as they did a few years ago.

Cascade always works well as a late addition in most darker/malty american style beers. If you are going to use simcoe as advised above I would highly recommend that you only use a small amount as if used in large amounts you may get too much of a pine like flavour and IMO would be off putting...

I improvised for one of my fermentation boxes by using a 50W Fish tank heater which sits perfects in the lid of a 3L milk container as pictured below and is able to keep approx a Box large enough to hold 3 fermenters warm all winter and am also able to manually adjust between 15C - 20C with the...

I agree that the only reason is for portability otherwise I the price can't really be justified IMHO.

I agree! If you are Australian then pronounce it the way it looks wort...

Cheers for organising the bulk buy Hammo :icon_cheers: will have to have a proper brew day sometime soon.

Everyone has got to dream and I would sure love to buy one one day but it has always been at the bottom of my list as I think there are a lot more necessary things out their that I could buy that would actually improve my beer rather than just look good and help with the collecting of yeast...

My version of cold crashing in winter is to just take the fermenter out of the fermenting fridge the day before and let it sit at about 10 - 12 degrees but obviously this is my problem in my process. I just get a little impatient sometimes when trying new things which doesn't seem to be a good...

I think next time I might just give it an extra day to cold crash before bottling as this is a great yeast and even though still cloudy tastes amazing.

But it is normal and will settle in time?

I couple of months ago I decided to give the 1272 a go in a few American Ales as a substitute for both US-05 and the 1056 but with both batches that I have brewed have are still cloudy over a month later. My process was completely identical to my old recipes which turned out 100% clear after 1-2...

+2 I agree, this would be ideal and I have never seen these yeast harvesters before they look very handy and would save a lot of stuffing around.
