Yep, sure is! I’ll shoot you a PM.

Yes, it's the jacketed version.

Complete BIAC brewing system along with a Brewer's Hardware 14gal conical for sale and plenty of extras. This is the "large" version of the current BIAC system, 24gal total capacity, 10gal batches high gravity, 1/2bbl batches can be done with sub 5% beers. -BIAC All-in-1 System with...

Has anyone experimented with pre/post-boil and even post-fermentation pH adjustment? With lagers on average finishing at higher pH's, along with a 3#/bbl dry hop, I'd imagine they are ending a bit higher than some NEIPA's, and wonder if a lower 0.1-0.2ph would benefit at all. I know...

A heads up for anyone wanting to use the Andech's strain we've talked about a bit in this thread (aka Wyeast Lager X) or for anyone searching in the future. Propagate lab sells the strain as MIP-620, and you can order a 1bbl pitch for $30 (1mil/ml/*P). They keep it in stock at all times and...

Has anyone trialed lagering before adding the DH load, vs adding the DH load shortly after D-rest (or soft crash from D-rest down to ~55), then kegging and waiting for carbonation & clearing? In one of the podcasts, Bob mentioned that Timbo was a 3.5 week beer, and because it was an intentional...

Sounds fantastic. Is that recipe for 5 or 10gal? I also used Mt. Hood throughout the boil on my last attempt along with the Andech's strain and was happy with how it came out. That strain really seemed to keep the bitterness a little more in check than when I used 34/70, and I liked the bit...

Good to know. I've always skewed my DH towards cryo (and now lupo) instead of the WP. This style can really accentuate bitterness depending on where you put it.

What don't you like about using cryo in this recipe?

The DH from the OP/SoCal recipe isn't really that big, at least compared to modern hazies. But several of us have noticed a significant increase in bitterness post-DH. I've used fairly soft "standard" lager profiles for both of my attempts. I wonder how HPB treats their water for this beer...

I wonder what the connection is between the lager yeast and large DH charge bitterness pickup, as compared to say a Hazy Pale? I would think with the higher finishing pH of lagers vs ales that you would actually get less bitterness pickup from the DH? Obviously the water profile is quite...

For those that have done a few iterations of this recipe, or similar. Where have you landed on hotside bittering charges for amounts/time, if any? Based on my experience of the second batch, the intense bitterness pickup from the DH on top of the 28IBU charge at the beginning was unexpected...

Higher protein content than 2-row for head retention and haze stability.

I think it mostly depends on your setup. If your setup allows quick chilling and high boil-off rate, you should be fine with 60min boil and chill to 185F before whirlpooling. I have a 10% boil-off rate and have done plenty of 60min 100% pilsner brews without any DMS issues.
