DISCLAIMER! I'm no expert, but I use a whirlflok tablet at the end of the boil. Ferment 3-4 week for most styles I brew. Then go straight to the keg, chill & carb. After about a week, to a week and a half, it's carbed and ready. Draw the first pint and toss, as it pulls any yeast that...

How well are you oxygenating the wort prior to pitching?

I like it! Good idea.

A spray bottle full of premixed Starsan for quick sanitizing and some PBW for clean up help keep your cleaning practices tight.

I honestly know very little about cider making. That's why I was asking Yooper about splash racking. Her knowledge on brewing and cider making is really extensive.

"Next time, make sure to siphon "quietly", without any splashing, to a new vessel when the cider is finishing up" Can you explain "splash racking". I've seen this recommended before. I'm only asking out of my own curiosity.

Have you considered doing a Smash IPA?

I was worried I had put too much in as well. Especially when the coffee flavor seemed more intense once the beer had carbonated. But ultimately it has worked out well for me and I've used this same amount in several coffee stouts with success. Good luck, I'm sure yours will be a great brew too!

I used 16 fluid oz of Kona and 16 fluid oz of Sumatra cold pressed coffee in a 5 gallon stout I brewed. It turned out very well and retained the flavor for the 6 months I had it bottled. Both coffees were fresh roasted and course ground at a local coffee shop.

That sounds like it should turn out good. I just threw together 4 gallons of apple juice and 1 gallon of blueberry juice. Hoping it turns out drinkable.

I just built one using a 7.2cf and am able to only get 3 pin locks into it.

I'm just curious, but would adding lactose to this cut down on the bitter taste?

I threw these together with a branch cut from a cedar tree in the yard.

A Baltic Porter that fermented way to high in temperature. It had such a hot burn when drinking, it required chap stick before you let it touch your lips. It eventually got dumped.

Success! Thanks HBT for the info and guidance.

I'm in!

^^^I've done the same as above. Made a larger starter than needed, and pitched part and put the rest in vials. It's worked well so far.

How many wires does your fan have?

Finding a dead cat on a regular basis may be tough........

I've always known that style to be called "roach stompers". You use the pointed toe to kill roaches hiding in the corner.
