Thats pretty much the way I use it, you can toss in something piney as well if you want a great trifecta.

I did not get that at all. I use it in late addition or dry hop, never have used it for bittering. That might be the key.

Definitely dank. Its a great when mixed with other hop varieties.

If its cold outside, stick the fermentor outside and protect it from light or wind(if its below freezing). I do this in the fall and winter. The gelatin will work much better if the fermentor is cold. If there is no way of getting it cold, the gelatin will still work, just not nearly as well.

Along with checking the previously mentioned settings, I would check for leaks in your setup. Soapy water applied at all connections and seals. I use a spray bottle. If the water is bubbling anywhere its applied, you have a leak and are slowly loosing CO2.

Gravity alone will probably not work with that kind of setup. You are probably better off using gelatin at the end of fermentation to clear it up.

The filter will clog up and it will take forever to get it all into the fermentor this way. ;) I use the tried and true time method for clearing most beers and either an RO filter container or gelatin to make certain styles super clear.

I brewed this with London ESB yeast(WL1968) and Willamette for the 15 minute addition. Fermented at the low temperature range to keep esters down and raised temperature for week two to cleanup. FG was 1.016, which seems about right for this yeast. Tastes bright, slightly fruity, and very...

I used your recipe as a guide for my first non-kit brew tonight. Changed it based on what I could get locally and to try some things out. 1lb 20l .25 60l and used Falconers instead of Citra Otherwise followed recipe. Was hoping for a little caramel flavor with lighter color, might have to...
