    Consensus on pure O2 aeration

    I'd bet money those directions (30-120 minutes) are for "seconds", not minutes. I hit my high-grav brews with 2 minutes of O2. latest edition of BYO mentions 2 minutes, as well.

    When to thin?

    anyone do a side-by-side comparison with thinned and un-thinned harvest size? I'd think that un-thinned would be better for root development in younger plants than thinned ones would be.

    Books

    FWIW... I'm still a newbie, but I started out with one kit. then brewed a single batch per a recipe. right after that one, I began modifying that recipe based on my taste preferences and increasing knowledge. (still working on that recipe, but getting closer!)

    Why does bottle-conditioning improve life/stability?

    I have a package of Notty on hand! (for some reason, that doesn't sound good) anyway...Thanks!

    Why does bottle-conditioning improve life/stability?

    appreciate the replies. I guess I was just concerned with pitching yeast into such a toxic environment (OG=1.103, FG=1.014).

    Why does bottle-conditioning improve life/stability?

    what yeast do they use for bottling high gravity Belgians? I have one that bulk aged for over a year. I primed and capped a few six packs about 5 weeks ago and no carbonation yet...temps still a little cool at about 65 F. thanks.

    appreciate the reply, Derrin. would the thermowell fit in the smaller carboy cap opening? (I don't own a thermowell yet). thanks again.

    anyone use these together? (I haven't had great seals using just a rubber stopper...) thanks.

    right after my last brew day, I was wondering the same thing for flavor additions. time will tell, I guess (still fermenting)

    spunding

    appreciate the effort, WortMonger. like I said...this is a new development for this spunding valve.

    spunding

    this isn't fermenting in the corny...just carbing up a new beer (and an Apfelwein). pressurized up to about 25 lbs... [thinking]...I guess I was trying to drop the pressure to about 20 lbs. when I first noticed the Apfelwein shooting out of the spunding valve. THAT Corny was pretty full...

    spunding

    yes I have one and use it. mine just RECENTLY developed an issue with shooting beer out of the valve when I release the pressure. never did that before. I KNOW I have it on the gas inlet side. anyone? thanks.

    Many Thanks, Tonedef!

    Some observations on using servomyces.

    appreciate the reply, Tonedef... any idea on the proper usage/dosage of Fermaid for high gravity brews? I have a packet of it, but no directions. Thanks!

    Forty Bucks for five gallons of ingredients?

    I'm guessing a high portion of the cost is tax?
