Yep definitely.

Yeah, I'm getting that sense.

Maybe I'll get some more and see if it works any better.

Have to ditto Sean. One drop in the Starter flask, couple drops in the kettle to keep 7-8 gallons happy at a hard boil.

the stuff says to keep refrigerated - did you?

Not right away. I did see that but only after I'd had it a couple of weeks. As I remember it, the bottle didn't have any label or instructions on it, so I wasn't sure how much to add. I ended up finding the instructions on northernbrewer, which also said to refrigerate it, so I did.

Like I said, I'll get some more... it definitely sounds like mine's not working.

Thanks everyone.

Don't you mean a jar instead of a bottle?


I thought you were referring to JP's song but after getting some of this it looks like a different bodily fluid... Something that might be produced while viewing the Motivational Picture thread.

Ive been using it in every batch for a couple years now. A little bit goes a long way. The stuff is great.

Planning to use the NB Band this week on an RIS (OG -- 1.093). Planing 1-drop in the starter, 3-drops in the boil and fermenter.

Sound 'bout right?

Have you used it yet?? Drops are kinda subjective. "Some" is a more accurate measure with this stuff

Nope, first time. How about a couple "squeezes" of the dropper then for the boil and ferment and just one squeeze for the starter?
