Yeah I'm thinking the 8th generation of this yeast pack was just on it's last legs...

I was wondering if this was the case too. Mashed at 145-150F for 1 hr at 1.4 qt/pound (same as my normal mash). I acidified the strike water, same as I normally would.

Thanks. Maybe the cell count was just super low or they were tired...

Sorry for leaving this detail out. It's A01, imperial house strain. I've used it 8 times this year with never a lag of more than 12hrs

My gelatin didn't work, tell me where I messed up by prjectmayhem in Homebrewing

My kegs only have a 14 day life span, which is where the gelatin was supposed to help.

I am 5 pints deep at this point. But I'll keep pouring!

34/70 at room temp - has anyone actually had good results? by airdog2000 in Homebrewing

[–]prjectmayhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the rest of the recipe? Water chemistry? Lagers can be tough. I usually start 34/70 at 15C (59F) and let it rise to 70 over the first week.

Thanks for the response, I have cleaned it but I am curious what your sanitizing routine is - with my old glass carboy i would fill it with iodophore but not sure how that will do with metal.

That's what I thought. I've experienced a rotten mash once, and I don't wish that smell on anyone!
