It's nice to have but not needed. I've forgotten it before and nothing bad happened. The Irish moss is for helping to precipitate out solids and clear the wort during the boil. At worst your wort going into the fermentor might not be as clear, or you might not be able to get as much beer from...

Show Me the Way - Peter Frampton

HDPE is more oxygen permeable than PET or glass, but I think that difference in oxygen ingress is probably negligible here. The other ways oxygen is getting into the beer likely have a much bigger impact. You can read into it some too. It can have an impact but I think it's relatively small...

This seems like the way. And, yeah, 20 PSI...think about the math. I think most of us here should be able to manage it 😂

The Slowest Drink at the Saddest Bar on the Snowiest Day in the Greatest City - The Lawrence Arms

Welcome to the club! BIAB might be my favorite brewing technique. More information about your process might be helpful. Anything different between small and large batches for the cold side? My mind goes to oxygen getting in somewhere in the process for 10 gallons where it doesn't for 5 gallons...

Yep, fermentation looks healthy to me too. Only problem I see is that the first photo looks like the krausen is going to blow out of that container. It's possible those bubbles creeping up toward the airlock will make their way out and leave you a real big mess. Might want to get something...

I'll leave you to your hop process and preferences :) I really enjoy WC IPA and a good 30 min scratches that bitter itch for me for sure. Could even be partly different systems. If you have a schedule that works then great! For me, mid boil Columbus is very nice in a dank beer. That's also...

Subscribed! This is exactly what I do/don't need while tipsy on a Sunday night listening to music and drinking beer with the cat. Absolutely beautiful, either way 🥹

I think your hop schedule looks solid. Personally, I would pull the 60 min hops up to 30 mins to give it more mid boil character. Either accept the loss in IBU or up the amount to hit your goal. Either way is fine. I think you'll really like the strata hops. Malt profile looks heavy on the...

Hit Me Like You Did the First Time - The Flaming Lips

Floating dip tube through closed transfer to a keg purged by fermentation, same as @Bassman2003 and @homebeerbrewer. From a Fermzilla mostly for me. I could never get over the fact that at least some air would get trapped in the hose/spigot at that connection point. As soon as you open the...

Up on Cripple Creek - The Band

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking when I said the dose makes the poison. Maybe I missed the part about you fully rinsing the bucket. That definitely makes a difference to me. I probably still wouldn't mess with it, but I'm not you. Seems clear you're not an idiot, so you do you. Just...

Maybe have someone standing by to take you to the vet if you start getting the shakes
