As an update, it actually turned out really good and quickly got polished off, I actually I think I prefer it slightly hoppier than the original.

Hi, it is Wyeast, I won’t panic, still think I’ll go for a starter just in case

It’s was perfectly ok in the fridge and well within date. Is it normal to inflate when warm? I’ll prep a starter for when I’m going to use it. Thanks for all the comments and advice. 🙂

Fingers crossed it still does it’s stuff, will however make sure I’ve a back up option just in case

All for time saving, and one less thing to clean, may give it a try next brew day and see how it goes. 🙂

Hi All, I stupidly left a liquid yeast packet out of the fridge overnight which now looks to have inflated. I’ve put back in the fridge but will this still be ok to use?

I think I’ll keep cleaning after use, stop worrying and at some point upgrade to stainless.

Possibly when running wort through a chiller, but up until yesterday I’d never even heard of it, so I’ve honestly no idea how big a deal or likely it is.

I found myself going down a rabbit hole and reading about the hazards of verdigris on copper, which got me wondering about how dangerous home-brew is/ or isn’t. Do you know anybody who has gotten ill from consumption of home brewed beer (excluding through overindulgence) and if so what was the...

This is actually a very good idea, I’d not thought of transferring the original out into the bucket

Mid November so have a little time to do something.

I do, I’m just going to sacrifice any temp control by using it

Normally I wouldn’t mind, and to quote my dad “the 2nd pint is always better”, however I’m making for a friends wedding hence my nervousness, plan B may be get another brew on as soon as this is out the fermenter, however that would only have 2 weeks conditioning so that may be a little tight

Good idea @chopps, I’ve just populated into Brewfather and that takes me from 15.2 to 42.5, purely from a hop stand perspective. With the boil hops I’m into the high 70s, looking at those numbers I’m debating, clearing out and starting again

Fingers crossed for a slightly unplanned but successful beer then 🤞

I brewed a Neck Oil clone today, I was meant to hop stand for 10 mins at 80 degrees but forgot to chill so the hop stand was actually circa 94/95, I then chilled and pumped into into the fermenter. Will there be a significant difference with the bitterness, will the bitterness mellow out in the...

Hi @Ross1974 what size brewing system are you looking at?

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

Going off topic, but what’s the purpose of these? Are these connections to the kegs?

Hi Gyurmaember, are these still available?
