Just bottled a batch tonight that was 80% 2 Row and 20% White Wheat. Cascade at 30 min for 20 or so IBUs. It's not carbed yet, but it's definitely juicy and funky. I get pineapple, citrus, and a bit of barnyard.
I saved the yeast cake and am going to put a NEIPA onto it tomorrow.
I'll post...
I just picked up some Imperial Voss Kveik for an Imperial Black IPA and have two questions:
Any experience/tips for capturing and reusing slurry?
Should I follow the "standard" procedure with reusing slurry going from low OG to high OG, or can this beast of a yeast go from high OG to low OG...
Pre-ordered this the other day without much research beforehand: https://bootlegbiology.com/product/mtf-funk-island-mega-blend/
I've used their Mad Fermentationist Saison Blend, Funk Weapon 2, and Funk Weapon 3 and have been very happy with them, but wanted some opinions on this one.
From...
I'm currently crashing my saison and plan on harvesting some slurry for a 3 way split test: Hopped Wort, Un-hopped Wort, and Lightly Hopped Wort with commercial dregs.
A question about the batch with commercial dregs: Assuming it turns out well, can I simply pull the slurry and reuse it? Or are...
The same thing happened to me. It does seem to be subsiding on day 3 of the sulfury smell, but it's definitely not smelling as great as it did the first couple days.
Thanks for the advice, everyone.
Given the time of year, and that I ferment in my basement, temps are around 65° F. What impact will temps have on this strain?
I just pre-ordered from Bootleg Biology and expect my yeast some time in December. That said, I don't have a stir plate to do a starter. (I got excited and ordered without thinking things through.) Any experience with pitching directly versus creating a starter?
In addition, since I want to...
Two Hearted and Centennial IPA are two solid all Centennial beers, though a bit higher ABV than this one. And I imagine the Centennial flavors/aroma will place nice with the Rye. So I say Go For It!
I live in Michigan but work for a company in Chicago and need to transport a slim 1/4 barrel keg about 6 hours without refridgeration.
I am picking up a keg from the brewpub that I brew at on Thursday night, and will be putting it in my fridge at home until Monday morning when I leave for...
Great dry yeast. Didn't stall out like some of the Mangrove Jack's strains do. We used 10 packs for a 60 gallon batch at the brewpub that I brew at, and the batch finished in about 10 days. We crashed it down to 34°F and it dropped super clear. We used the same grain bill, subbing Fuggles for...
Received my order on Wednesday. All of the 1/2 lb bags are purged and sealed very well. I plan on brewing something with them next week.
Anyone else receive their order?
I just wanted to share a promo that I found.
47Hops.com is running a promo for $4.47 per pound. Shipping was $13 for 3.5 pounds going to Michigan. But even with the shipping cost, it's cheaper than most vendors that I have found.
I've never ordered from them before, but I should be pretty well...
