what about those that keg hop? i mean, hops can sit for weeks if not months at a time in a keg. maybe temp has something to do with it?

here goes nothin!

If only you were in SoCal :(

great info. i know this is an old thread, but i hope someone can chime in. i'm thinking of tapping the gas from my water heater supply line with a 50ft- 1/4" hose to a 10 tip burner. would the length of the house and the size (diameter) and my supply be sufficient to run a 10 tip? thanks in...

I've read that citra for buttering produces an undesirable grassy flavor. Your recipe yielding 1.070, something is definitely off. Shouldn't be that high. But also shouldn't be as low as predicted either. My 0.02

So how did this turn out?

measured using hydrometer tonight. it's down to 1.003.:rockin: thanks!

Refractometer. I didn't know that. I think you might've solved my problem. Will confirm when I get home. Thanks! Did some more research and this seems more like it: http://seanterrill.com/2012/01/06/refractometer-calculator/

Will do. Any suggestions? 80? 90?

153 for 2 hours. Came down to 152

WY3711. been at 1.023 for the past 2 days.

how are you all getting final gravity so low? my saison is stuck at 1.023. what are all your aerating techniques? i definitely aerate... i've got to be doing something wrong?

I tried making a Saison the other day. Yeast: wy3711 Starter: ~1.5L Aeration method: paint stirrer on my drill. the wort was practically a froth. then during the transfer from HLT to carboy the wort goes through a screen which further aerates it. My original gravity was 1.057 Right now it's...

In please. Thanks!

if i may ask, you brew your IIPA once a year. how fast do you go through your batch? i have yet to brew an IPA because i don't want to rush through a 5gal keg to myself because the hops start losing it's aroma or the beer starts tasting bad because i'm not drinking fast enough.
