Repitched last night and it's bubbling this morning. Yeast must have been bad I guess.

I'm going to check the gravity later and make sure it's not just a non vigorous fermentation. If it has t moved then I'll probably repitch with some water adjusted closer to the ph.

I kettle soured a Berliner to 3.9ph with Omega Lacto blend. Boiled for 15 mins with .5oz German Tettenang. Added a whirlfloc and yeast nutrient. Rehydrated the yeast in boiled water cooled to 90F. Cooled the wort, added O2 and pitched the yeast. I put in in my ferm chamber set at 64F. I'm at...

Yeah put enough water in your run so it will drain and drain it until it stops. Then dump out what's left in a measurable container. That's your dead space calc

I think you just over pitched if I had to guess. You said you built it up in 2 starters. Not sure how big of a starter you pitched. A 1L starter for 5 gallons at 1.055 would suffice. It's a pretty aggressive yeast too. The infection gushers I've had have always been down the road. It usually...

Agree with earlier to up the dry hop amount. I used 3 ozs in my last 2.5 gal batch and it's pineapple city :). Just toss them in as the ferm is winding down for 4-5 days, crash and bottle/keg.

I'm usually get more apathetic with brewing in the gardening months. I usually have peppers to pick or plants to tend to and when I get done I just don't feel like brewing or there is no time left. I've currently got the bug though and I'm going to brew a Biere de Miel this weekend. Possible...

I actually just did a Galaxy/Simcoe IPA. I really like the 2 together.

I love Simcoe. I'm actually dry hopping a Simcoe/Galaxy IPA right now. Can't wait to try it.

I hit it with O2 before I pitched. 1500ML starter of WLP001. I don't have a display gauge on my regulator, but ran it with tiny bubbles for about 45secs.

Thanks in really happy with what I tasted. Really glad I hit it with some O2 as well.

Finished out at 1.020. I'm going to let it sit for a month or so then take a taste. It's actually pretty good as it is. Not too boozy. The roasted malts are most noticeable. It has a super silky mouthfeel which is great. I think it's going to be pretty good.

I took out the last hop addition and made the first 2 1.5oz. Other than that everything was the same. I had a stuck sparge so I had to add more water so my OG is only 1.092. Which isn't the end of the world. Hopefully it will finish around 1.020 and be 9fidy [emoji1]

Brewing this today. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
