Interested how much???

Thanks HBHB! Yeah I've got the ambient set to 19 and it's bubbling nicely. After such a long lag time should I start my ferment time frame from last night? So I was planning a 14 day ferment dry hop on day 8 cold crash @ 3 degrees on day 12, bottle on 14?

Ok I got home tonight put in a bath of 30 degrees let it shake about as I walked from the shed, let it siting the bath for 5 hrs keeping the water around 24-25, installed new heater in brew cupboard. Krausen kicked in after just 1hr!. Still bubbling and Krausen is near an inch thick... Thanks...

Yeah cheers I was super slack with not rehydrating no excuses!! Im installing a thermostat gauge and small ceramic heater in my brew cupboard to combat the cold once I jump start it tommorrow night!!! I'm in no rush!!

Cheers I've done it already I lost 5% burn off calculated it out well hops were calculated boil went well just having issues with yeast mangrove jack m 44 pale ale strain!! Serious lag time and keeping temp in cold victoria

So you think that after 72 hrs with no action it should be good to heat up??? It may be close to 96 hrs if I don't get home tonight!! Should I get some US-05 and chuck it once I get up to 20 degrees???

Mmmm I've read that it struggles.. Yeah I'm not happy been a few years in between brews. I usually use US-05 but went with this instead. Im not going to be home for another 48 hrs now so I think it will be dead by then!..?

Mangrove jack west coast ale m44 yeast lagging for over 36 hrs now... Been cooking at 19 degrees , not a single sign of life !! O.G 1.050 one satchel not rehydrated and to top it off my burker immersion heater died sometime today whilst at work and it crashed to 12 degrees.... Is it salvageable...

Hi guys this is a great recipe from user WWDWMD I'm wanting to try this but I have the ability now to do full boil volume. Would I still use the same amounts of LME & DME or do I need to increase and I have read some things about adjusting weights of hop additions... Advice and suggestions...

i plan on doing this next weekend. i am moving up to a full boil extract volume. i have my 75,000 btu burner turning up this week. what (if anything) would i have to change.... any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated

I plan on doing WWDWD's recipe this weekend but doing a full extract boil, using my wort chiller to get it to ferment temp quickly any suggestions in timming of adding LME and DME would be appreciated
