L. plantarum seems to be one of the weirdos that does better at slightly lower temps. Between 80-95*F is considered ideal. It will still do its...
Wait. Are you talking about using young lambic, as in year old? Or are you saying you are going to make up fresh wort to carb with? It is my...
This is exactly what I used to do when I deployed. Brew up a simple golden sour with some really healthy sour bugs. By the time I got home they...

I've been using the yeast bay's version for a while now and can confirm the "flocing" ability. I like this strain best with primary temps in the...
Ranco probes are definitely not intended for immersion. If liquid gets into the probe it will greatly skew the resistance value of the thermistor....
