big business sloth posted:Ok cool. My roommate was thinking the yeast would die without adequate sugar for another week or something, but that didn't sound right. They don't die, they just go dormant. They will wake right back up again once you hit them with some more priming sugar. It's actually pretty tough to kill yeast by accident, you have to specifically hit them with stuff like freezing or sulfites or bleach to get them.

wafflesnsegways posted:Has anyone used a food processor to crush grain? I have 1.5 lbs of uncrushed grains out of a 20 lbs grainbill. (I roasted my own brown malt, so I bought that 1.5 lbs uncrushed.) The rolling pin method has failed me in the past, so I'm thinking I'll try the food processor, and since most of the grain was milled correctly, I'm hoping that an uneven crush won't matter too much for one specialty malt. I've never tried it, but a food processor isn't recommended according to this: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Evaluating_the_Crush I'm surprised the rolling pin method doesn't work for you, it's worked fine for me before. What exactly doesn't work?

Hypnolobster posted:Has anybody else heard things about never keeping star san under co2? I know I've read it once or twice, but the reasoning that I seem to remember was that co2 neutralizes starsan. Carbonic acid is a diprotic acid that can act as a buffer. Yes it's an acid, but that just means its pH is less than 7; it likes to sit at pH 5.7 or around that neighborhood. The instructions for Star San say its good as long as it's pH is below 3. I would not keep Star San under CO2.
