This thread has been making my head hurt today or maybe it was all the homebrew I had last night while watching the Saints game on DVR.
I seem to take less and less measurements the more I use my setup. I'm just not that worried about it. I always have brett in my brews so I do pay attention to final because I prefer for it to be below 1.008 before bottling.
I've never done a 90 min boil and rarely even do 60 min. I've even done a couple of 30 min boils.

Did a 2 1/2 hr boil last brew. 1 hour to boil off the extra wort I collected and 90 min of hopping.

Adding the dry hops (3 oz cascade and 1 oz Citra) to Zappa Dust v.2...taste great! Cut back some on the citra and upped the cacscade this time around. I don't think FFF Zombie Dust had as strong a citra taste as my first version of Zappa Dust.

Too much Citra.
Maybe one day I will utter those words. Maybe one day.

I added some Citra to our TropicAle last night. Yum.

How do y'all store extra DME? I got some for making this lacto starter but am only using 1/3 of a cup.

I just put a binder clip from wor...a chip clip. I just put a chip clip on it like I do with just about everything else in my house.

That's why I said maybe. I guess it is possible in theory. Never have come close experiencing in it in practice.

I store all of my DME and specialty grains in half gallon 'store n' pour' containers from a restaurant supply store.
Like this...
Probably overkill, a chip clip would work just as well.

I put a clip on it and then stuck it in a small plastic bin that I put stuff in at aid stations during races. It will probably take me forever to use this 1 pound bag unless I just toss it in a brew at some point.

Lacto starter for my 100% Brett Baltic Porter

What do you have going on in that pic?

Standard starter cooled down to around 100 F with a scope of crushed grain from my base grain bag. I wrapped it in a heating pad to keep it warm. The naturally occurring lactobacillus from the grain should grow over the next couple of days at a temp of around 115 F. I'll then toss a cup of that in my porter wort, let it go for 24 to 36 hours, and then boil and proceed as normal.
This technique is supposed to result in a "cleaner" souring than just tossing a handful of grain into your wort and letting it ride. I was happy with the funkier souring from the "toss method" for my saison but am aiming for a cleaner sour for this porter.

I like Citra. But given the choice, I'll drink many more cascade/columbus/simcoe type IPAs. I'm that way with the trendy as f%ck Mosaic IPAs. I like them but usually after 2 of them I'm looking for something else.

I haven't jumped on the mosaic bandwagon yet.
