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...

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...

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 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...

i have a neipa that stalled on initial fermentation so with the touch of a little alpha amylase enzyme and some rehydrates us05 fermentation kicked off again a day later. So it’s been fermenting now for 2+ days and I checked the fg reading, as It being a neipa and all I don’t want the fg...

Long story short I had a neipa that stalled out so I added amylase enzyme and 05 and it’s kicked off again. But, I don’t want the fg to drop to low, I’d like to keep it 1.014-1.016 range, it stalled at 1.028, so I’d like to take a gravity reading to see where it’s at and then when I hit my...

Used kviek in a neipa and today day 7 took a fg reading its 1.028. OG was 1.077. Any way I can get this down? I have some alpha amylase on hand or I could add a pack of rehydrated us-04 trying to keep in the neipa style. Gravity sample was basically a sweet malt bomb with hardly any hop...

I know not usually a problem and maybe this has more to do with my recipe or process but I used a full pack of hornidal on a neipa recently and it came in higher than beersmith projection. I mashed this on accident at 150 was supposed to be 153, pitched it at 85deg, and I use a heat pad on the...

I’m not new to brewing been doing this long enough on my same system and never seen this discrepancy happen ever So wanted some thoughts. I mashed and sparged and got my pbv of 7.75 gal. Mixed it up and took a sample and let that cool to 73 deg, took a reading with my hydrometer and it read...

So ive already done my mash mineral additions and lactic acid addition. Im now heating the sparge water. Add my second rd of minerals to the sparge water or wait to collect pbv, get it up to heat and past the hot break and then add the other minerals? I’ve always added them to the sparge water...

I have a neipa that has very little nose to it, long story. So I kegged it a few days ago and I just added a sanitized hop bag tied off with sanitized floss and 3oz of galaxy to the keg which is about 3/4 full. How long does it take for the dh to sit before I’d notice any aroma or flavor to the...

a neipa I brewed two weeks ago. Kegged yesterday. 2 row, white wheat, Munich, oats and carapils. OG 1.086. Fg due to me under pitching hornidal kviek 1.020 and that’s after multiple additions to try to get the gravity down. Stalled at 1.030 initially. So I hop standee with mix of el dorado...

So I brewed this beer almost two weeks ago and fermentation using hornidal kviek stalled out. I only used 2tbsp of slurry from the pack in an effort to push up the fruity esters And it stopped at 1.030 and adding more slurry with a heat pad got it down to 1.020 5 days later Before I cold crashed...

So I had a bad transfer with this one and it took alot of hop debris, I’ve been dealing with slow pours and clogging posts and dip tube since a couple days after I kegged this. Well now with about 2gal left it won’t even pour. I take the out post off and sure there’s hip debris in the ports so...

So I brewed a neipa Saturday, og 1.086, and to try to bring out the esters in the hornidal kviek I followed the advice here and pitched 2tbsp into 6gal wort. It fermented vigorously for the typical 2 days with temps in the 90’s then stopped dead on day 3 which is typical I find for kviek. So I...

Do you order online or go through your lhbs. I’m looking for lg quantities to store since I mill my own grain. Mostly looking for, Pilsner, 2 row base malts In 50lbs and wheat, Munich or Vienna in the 10lb range.

I use a simple closed co2 transfer with my glass carboys using the cap with the ss racking cane, homemade co2 inlet etc. it’s worked great for a year making mostly neipas, little learning curve n the beginning but now usually takes me 20-30 min to pressures transfer starsan from one keg to the...

Impromptu brew day Saturday and wanna use the rest of grain I have on hand which will make a big neipa at 1.086 og. I have one pack of hornidal on hand and no time to make a starter, should I pitch two packs or would the one be enough in a beer this big??? I’ve used hornidal once before but that...
