Sounds great, I’ll send an email now. Probably a more advanced / legitimate version of the piece of plastic I duct taped to the inside of the front panel to prevent moisture from dripping onto the controller.

I’ve had my 1/2 HP Penguin Chiller for 2.5 years now and have been happy for the most part. It operates in a garage in SE Georgia, which means extremely hot and humid ambient temperatures for 4+ months every year. This causes a lot of condensation around the glycol reservoir (the black plastic...

From the horse’s mouth (via a comment on IG), “we are currently working on a homebrew size unit of INCOGNITO, but more R&D is required so there currently isn’t an ETA.”

I think a combination of both may be very appealing to brewers of all sizes. Year-to-year consistency in AA, total oils, and flavor compounds (Lupo) for hot side additions and even whirlpool, with brewers getting to add their “personal touch” with hand selected T90 / Cryo in the dry hop (where a...

I think there are enough differences to add complexity (even if it just comes down to being processed from different farms / lots). It’d be even better if they brought Incognito to the US homebrew market.

I’m interested in trying a single-hopped Citra NE IPA with a combination of T90, Lupo, and Cryo. Dry hop with 2oz of each, which is ~equivalent to 8.85oz T90 (using 70% factor for Lupo and 50% for Cryo). Aroma and flavor complexity using all 3 varieties would be interesting, especially in...

OG - 1.067 FG - 1.016 ABV - 6.7% ~35 IBU Malts (50%) Weyermann Pilsner (25%) Weyermann Pale Ale (10%) Oat Malt (8.75%) White Wheat (2.5%) Golden Naked Oats (2.5%) Acidulated (1.25%) Gambrinus Honey 1 lbs Lactose at Flameout (7.7 Gallons Volume) Hops 30 Min - 2mL Hop Extract 5 Min - 0.5oz...

This one turned out really good, heavy on Idaho 7 in the whirlpool and heavy on Galaxy in the dry hop!

This was 2019 YVH Motueka (6.2% AA). Predicted IBUs around 35 in a 6.7% ABV recipe. 30 Min - 3 mL Hop Extract 10 Min - 1 oz Motueka 160* WP - 6 oz Motueka DH (Keg) - 6 oz Motueka

In 20+ batches of NE IPA, the single-hopped Motueka is still my favorite. Dual-hopped Citra / Nelson combo is a close second.

All from the same 5 lb bag of lactose I bought and split up into (5) 1 lb vacuum sealed packs. Volume is definitely 7.7 gallons, the kettle is marked and I’ve verified the markings. Once I use up this lactose I’ll order more and see if maybe it was off somehow? Not sure what is up. I’ve even...

Yeah it’s a bit of a mystery to me, but I’ve brewed 3 batches with identical recipes and every time I check gravity before and after the lactose addition and get only .003 SG increase. It’s added during recirculation whirlpool so I know it is mixing well.

Latest NE IPA brewed last night. The Galaxy / Strata / Idaho 7 combination is a new one for me, looking forward to tasting it in a few weeks. OG - 1.064 (1.067 w/ Lactose) FG - 1.013 (1.016 w/ Lactose) ABV - 6.7% ~35 IBU Malts (50%) 10 lbs Weyermann Pilsner (25%) 5 lbs W Pale Ale (10%) 2 lbs...

I’ll probably be pairing BRU-1 and Idaho Gem in a dual-hopped NE IPA using my standard grain bill for trying new hop combinations. 11 lbs Barke Pilsner 3 lbs 8 oz Golden Promise 2 lbs White Wheat 10 oz Acidulated 4 oz Gambrinus Honey

I ordered a bunch of new to me hops to try out in NE IPAs over the next 6 to 9 months. Grabbed some Taiheke, supposedly NZ grown Cascade that amps up the aroma/flavor. Not much available, I’m interested to see how it fares! 1 lb Nelson Sauvin 1 lb Riwaka 1 lb Wai-iti 8 oz Taiheke 8 oz BRU-1 8...

YVH has 2019 Nelson Sauvin in stock. I assume it’ll go fast so get what you need ASAP.

This is everything on the package for the BSG Nelson. Haven’t been able to get any results on the Hop Analysis search.

Is there a way to tell harvest year on BSG homebrew packaging? I found a very reasonably priced source for Nelson and ordered two 8oz packs, but I’m not sure if they are 2018 or 2019 harvest year.

Planning a version of this to brew next weekend. Technically four crops rather than three! OG - 1.040 FG - 1.009 ABV - ~4.1% ~14 IBU Malts (75.6%) 8 lbs 8 oz Rahr 2-Row (17.8%) 2 lbs Flaked Maize (4.4%) 8 oz Flaked Rice (2.2%) 4 oz Torrified Wheat Mash Schedule 131* (Dough-In) 153* (60 Min...

I asked Yakima Valley Hops yesterday, their response wasn’t too promising. “I wish I had a hard date for Nelson, but we don’t have a date yet. All that being said, I would recommend not waiting for Nelson to order since we don’t quite know yet.”
