Make up a starter if it tastes and smells good pitch it. I know this is not the ideal method but what i do is after primary fermentation has finished i use the WL vial and scoop up enough trub to fill the vial to the brim i then store the vials in the fridge and when i need to use them i make up...

Yeh i did the same thing recieved mine in the mail yesterday, had a quick flick through it, paid around $11 inc postage so a good buy in my opinion.

Not only is it a nice toolbox but you could probably get away with entering it into some sort of an Abstract Impressionism art gallery. :P

Moderation is something i have only recently understood myself. Give it a few years DC, you'll come around! ;)

I found a bee at the bottom of my secondary once and after losing around 120litres of beer to subsequent infections, its nothing to laugh at. I swear this bee had some sort of super wild yeast that wouldnt die. I hope your moth infection doesnt turn out the same.

Im in the market for 3 depending on final price.

Well if my missus cant get some maybe my mum can, they both work at orthodontists! I'll ask and let you know :)

My missus works for an orthodontist i have never heard of this stuff before, im assuming its a steriliser? Maybe i should see if she can get some, do i need a certain % of Orthophosphoric or.....? Edit just checked www.brewiki.org read all about Orthophosphoric acid, now i want some too :)

WLP321 MilkyWay Ale Yeast :P

Thanks for the tips Ray. All valid points, i dont know what my exact brewhouse efficiency is and i was way off my FG mark! I think i'll leave decoctions till i know my brewery a bit better. Cheers, Hopsta

Yeh firstly i gave it a protien rest for 35mins at 50*C then i went through my decoction and added it back to the mash tun and rested it at 68*c for 45mins. Im looking forward to the final product should go down well in the warmer weather. :chug:

I brewed a belgian blonde today using wyermann bohemian pilsner malt and some wheat malt. I did a bit of research here on the bohemian pilsner malt and decided it would probably be best if i did a decoction. So i thought as its my first time (and only my 4th AG brew) i'd just do a single...

Email to BYO has been sent, i'll keep you updated when they reply.

Ok so they did deliver the BYO 150 clone recipes issue along with the october subscription issue of BYO. I missed out and so did Doc by the sounds of it.... Spew'n. I might shoot them an email when i can be bothered. Thanks for clarifiying that.

Can anyone shed some light on where in sydney i can get a copy of this mag? Would borders have it? Im guessing its not part of the subscription?

Did it come with the october issue of BYO? Did you get it from a HBS???? Bit more info please HBW! ;)

Well from you say it looks like this will be the first viable starter i've had without a krausen. I always thought they had to have krausen to work :rolleyes: , i'll take comfort in the fact its happened to to you guys before without any negative effects on the brew. Thanks for that, Cheers...

Yeh i can see yeast at the bottom of the vessel. I boiled roughly 1 cup of light dry extract in about 750ml of water. Im just paranoid of infections when i see odd fermentation behaviour i think the worst.

I have a WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale starter on at the moment, i made it monday night. Tuesday morning it had a little krausen and by this morning the krausen has gone i tasted it and its still very sweet. The airlock is bubbling and i can see tiny bubbles rising up through the wort but they pop...
