So I’ve brewed a few neipas in my fermzilla all rounder the one thing I’m noticing now that I’m pushing co2 into the headspace post dh and also doing a short soft crash to drop the beer temp to 60 deg is that every time I then dh the pellet hops almost immediately sink to the bottom and I feel...

So i have the fermzilla all rounder and after my last neipa which turned out fine I wanna maximize this fermenter so figured we’ll spunding is the next step. So I bought what’s in the pic and should be here before my next brew next week another neipa. How do I use this exactly. Just pop it on...

Thurs morning take fg reading. If good put in keezer for a few hrs to soft crash to 40’s F. Remove at noon add dry hop1. Friday morning put back into keezer set to 40 deg and remove sat morning warm to 50’s then add second dry hop Sunday before leaving for work 7pm hard cold crash for 36hrs...

Ok thanks I’ll look into it. It’s not an apple so idk if the cloud is even an option. I may just screenshot some of em and just download the updated version onto the new computer as it has more hops, grains and options than the original version on my old computer.

So we got a new laptop so my wife transferred over to a hard drive my Bru’n water files but not the beersmith program. If i download a new copy of the beersmith program onto our new computer will my old recipes be saved under an old profile or anything. I had a lot with notes that I really want...

Thanks for the tips. Why 8psi? I like my stouts on the low end of carbonation, literally just enough so it’s not totally flat. I feel in a big stout it improves the mouthfeel. This is also my pressure 8-10psi I use for neipa’s as again I think it just lends to that creamy slicker mouthfeel...

So my plan is to transfer from secondary to keg then set at 30psi for 2 days to quick carb it, no rolling or shaking but I’m gonna put it in my keezer at 36deg. After 48hrs i was planning to drop to 6-8psi for serving pressure. My question is before I drop to serving pressure do I need to pull...

So there’s only 1 store near me and I know they sell the new dry version of London ale 3 so maybe I’ll just go with two packs of that and rehydrate it and pitch it.

So I made a neipa Saturday, 1.080og, pitched two packs of omega dipa oly-52 ie Conan, into fermenter with fermometer reading 64deg. Placed fermenter in my basement where it’s 69-70f ambient, fermometer reading 66-67 now BUT there is absolutely zero activity. What gives. It’s like I didn’t even...

Thanks for posting those but let me clear up my statement. I have a temp controller on my keezer it’s an older unit but that’s what was on it when I bought it off the guy last year however I meant having an independent ferm chamber To use for crashing. Typically I have a keg in the keezer and...

These are the experiences I’m looking for. Thanks. how long do u soft crash at 50? In ur experience is it more important as to the time it sits at 50 or that the fermenter is just cooled to shock and drop the yeast Regardless of time it takes to get there. For me it only takes about 2-3hrs in my...

how Is that a benefit? Don’t we want he hops to float and break up thereby coming into contact with more beer and releas8ng more oils. If they sink and stay in pellet form doesn’t seem like were getting all the good extraction out of them.

Ok glad I’m not the only one. I’ve read countless threads where people soft crash and no one else mentions this happening made me think I was doing something wrong. so ill let it warm back up a little more and try that and maybe using a yeast that doesn’t completely drop 100% like kviek will...

Oh I dont pressure ferment I just pressure transfer to kegs. But i bought this after I broke a glass csrboy and I immediately love the fact that it’s so much lighter and I bought the carrier strap that connects the fermenter to its stand so I can carry it all as one unit. I think the only diff...

I just got the all rounder and am using it this weekend. Plan on pressure testing it with some water tonight or Tomm. I also have the closed transfer cap for it too since hats how I transfer into my kegs.
