System alterations

[Crunk]

Being I'm in USA, I probably got bread yeast being pawned off as 34/70

Does the hefebank ship to usa???

[Weizenberg]

They do, but it's prohibitively expensive. You could try the wyeast 2124 instead.

I had 2 books shipped from Germany, I got no problem dropping some more coin to get good yeast. Got a link by chance??

[Owenbräu]

We have good yeast here, just difficult to confirm identity against German strains.

[Techbrau]

Just buy some WLP835 or Wyeast 2206. They are both easy to work will and provide good results.

[Weizenberg]

For me what the is hard to get the WLP835, but Abbey and Tech had brilliant results with it. I'd go for that one.

Mash agitator finished, DO meter calibrated, boil kettle ventilation system works like a dream. Tomorrow I'm taking a day for myself, I will brew next week, As I did not do a yeast starter due to not knowing how long alterations where going to take to complete.

The system was tested at boiling for 30 minutes. Looks like everything is ready to go for next saturday.

Heh.. everyday I spend on brewing related things is a day for myself.

Your right, boy I really went down the rabbit hole, I'll be messin around with my first official LODO recipe today, so I can pick up the grain this week.

I'm basically whipping out my very few recipes and completely starting over with brewing, since my system is totally revamped, I'm going to need to learn my water calculations boil off and loss, efficiency, and everything else that is relative.

34/70 starter was made last night and sitting on the spin plate @ 48°f

Brewday is Saturday, I finally get to test out the new system upgrades, to the fullest.
