    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    This has been my experience with this yeast so far (using it twice). I don't recall this ever happening with any other yeast.

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I have a CF15 and transferred ~17 Gallons on the last batch. I feel I need to push that amount because of the losses from the heavy dry hopping rates (last batch was 3 pounds).

    Why should I be leery? Because it scratches the metal?

    How are we cleaning the lid? I can clean everything with pretty much just a sponge but the lid takes a a green scrubby to get off the caked on mess. How are you guys going it?

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Brewed today with some 2022 galaxy in the whirlpool because I'm not going to use anymore of it dryhopping. It smelled...spicy or something. I couldn't put my finger on exactly how it smelled. Not good in the boil. Hours burned on the brew day and I actually considered dumping the batch at...

    Thoughts on what the ideal WP temp range and duration range are?

    Anyone know what's the minimum wattage I'd need if my garage stays above freezing?

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Anyone using their cooling coil setup to keep the fermenter temp warm in cooler months? E.g. An immersion water heater in a small cooler.

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I'm struggling to get my DIY glycol chiller colder than 38F. The solution around the radiator/fins ice up when I get approach that temp. I'm using 20% glycol which I believe means that the freezing temp should be around 20F. Interesting, I was getting around the same temps (in the chiller)...

    This is exactly what I'm doing. I wouldn't pressure ferment if your going to dry hop else a potential hop volcano.

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I just got a CF15 and made a Gose with the first batch as a test batch. I focus on NEIPAs and have one fermenting at the moment (second batch). I want to rouse the DH hops and I am torn between re-circulation and CO2 through the dump port but I want to try the CO2 option first. I don't have...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Why not spund at 15 psi since when I cold crash I'll lose some of that pressure (no idea how much)? I'm new to closed transfers. I recently purchased the Spike CF15 and learning the new system while using a Gose as the trial. For the next brew session I'll be attempting a hazy ipa on this...

    Dry hopping under pressure: I haven't seen much on that subject. Thoughts?

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    What's substitute for WP additions when using these thiolized yeasts? Omega mentions Incogito but that's $290 per KG jug at yakima valley hops. That's too large a jug for me.
