I've been having ferment troubles too lately. I think I have it tracked down to some weak / nearly dead EC-1118. I got new yeast from a different place yesterday and things are bubbling merrily along.

Hey Uber, I'm doing that tonight

@ Scarecrow: that's not a bad idea. Usually I just waffle but if I have anything I think is useful or worthwhile I'll use a text editor in future.

@ Frank: the wash ended up too acidic, pH3.4, and when I ran it through the stripper I got 8l @ 40% from 42l at 11% that's what I call a shit yield.

Back to basics for me. I need to get my ferments right so I'm getting a reliable return from each wash. Too many experiments and messing around

Best course of action would be to use a text editor or word pad to construct the message and save frequently.
Then it's just a matter of copy and paste.
That way the message is always there until you delete it.
This works well for long messages.

Damn Aidanmac

I'd take that as a sign that you need to take a step back and enjoy some of your hard earned home produce.

I know that I am ;P

I have had the same thing happen, but managed to click the "back" button in my browser and copy and paste my post..It's not just you, so don't feel victimized lol.

I spent 20 minutes writing a post about something that went wrong with a stripping run today and looking for input from you guys as to what might have gone wrong, clicked preview, to make sure I didn't leave anything out, and the whole thing just vanished

That's happened 8 times over the past three weeks.

Bad enough when a strip goes wrong but when your forum turns on you too it's time to chillax and take a break.
