NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Personal
G'day all,
I recently pitched a starter of WLP002 into an ESB wort.
It started fermenting at around 18C /  64F and gave loads of sulphur.
Has the yeast gone bad?  Last time I smelt this I was brewing a Dort!
I raised the temp to help remove the smell.

Regards,
Rowan

Subject: Blichmann kettle with whole hops

Has anyone tried using whole hops in a Blichmann kettle with the mash
screen as a hop filter? I used to do this on another kettle I had with
a standard drilled-hole mash screen and it worked great; however, the
button-style holes on the Blichmann screen worry me that they may
become clogged easier.

Thanks,
Kevin Masaryk
