There is very limited information on the net regarding personal experiences brewing with NZ Waimea, so I wanted to post. HopUnion notes "intense tangelo and citrus fruit, with subtle pine." Waimea was a 2013 (I think) release from New Zealand. I made the following 100% Waimea APA: 9 lbs...

Has anyone accidentally exposed their keg to oxygen by failing to purge the headspace? Could you tell from a flavor change? In some of the kegged beers that I add a hop bag too after an initial burst carbonation, there is imparted a strange flavor and aroma. It is not that bad tasting but...

I haven't though of it enough as a real engineering problem yet. But significant amounts of hop compounds are removed as exhaust from the fermentation vessel. While we don't know the exact make-up of the gas mixture, leaving the vessel, we could still try somehow to pass the vapor through a...

I have acquired from a coworker a Thermo vacuum/pressure pump (not an air compressor) that can move air like a champ. At first I was excited, thinking of the ways I could put it to use for brewing, e.g. using air instead of CO2 to move StarSan through my cornies, draining my wort chiller...
