One of the keys to NEIPA's (and lasting haze) is the biotransformation which takes place when dry hops are introduced during active fermentation. I would guess that different strains of yeast interact with/transform hop oils and compounds differently, how exactly US-05 will do that, I can't...

I wound up using a quick splice connector to jump the brown and red cable and then I connected the fridge to an external temperature controller. So far, everything has worked as intended and the built-in lights/thermostat work as normal (except when the external controller cuts off power to the...

Yeah I was thinking a quick splice should do the trick. I'll keep the fan in mind if I notice frost forming on the back of the inside of the fridge (where the coils are). By looking at the circuit diagram/refrigerant type/etc is there any way to estimate how cool I can expect this to get without...

Quick question, if I leave everything as is, jump brown to red, and plug the fridge into an external controller, will the internal temp read-out still work? or do I need to disconnect the brown/red from the internal controller then jump them? Thanks again for the help

Appreciate the help guys, I was able to find a circuit diagram on the back of the unit. I'm no electrician nor do I have a meter to check what's hot and what's not. If you are able to tell what needs to be done from the below, I'd appreciate all the help I can get, otherwise, I'll leave it be...

I currently ferment in a wine fridge which has a built-in thermostat which can range from 39F - 64F. I'd like to be able to chill below 39F, so I'm attempting to use an external temperature controller to bypass the built-in thermostat. I've attached a photo below of the built-in thermostat. In...

Not sure how strictly you're trying to adhere to style, but my first recommendation is to drop the chamomile, orange zest, and Wakatu hops. Other than that, in my opinion, the recipe looks pretty sound. Really my only recommendation would be to drop a bit of the 2 Row and add a pound or two of...

After speaking with the head brewer at Noble, he said that they grind their coffee as fine as possible, and then throw it in the fermenter for a few days until it settles out. On a homebrew scale, I've had good results using 4oz of whole beans (as well as 4oz crushed) so I think either way the...

There is definitely Brett in Hottenroth. My guess is the first go around, the lacto overtook the Brett, but you still grew up a decent amount of Brett. Then on the next batch, since you had a decent amount of Brett to begin with (versus very little in the first batch), it was able to express...

I'm no nitro expert, but I'm pretty sure you can carbonate a "nitro" beer with pure CO2, and then serve it on beer gas. It takes a decent amount of pressure (high PSI) to push beer through a restrictor plate (what is found inside a stout faucet), this is where beer gas comes in to play. Because...

The color was probably around a 10-11 on the SRM scale. "Dry Hopping" the coffee doesn't contribute a ton of color. Also, from my own experience, whenever you "dry hop" with coffee (especially lighter roasts), the beer can develop a green pepper taste in a short period of time (~1.5-2.5 months...
