Hi all. Couldn't find any info about Lotus hops online from people that actually used them. I got myself a couple pounds of the stuff and made a session neipa with 62% lotus and the rest Mosaic. 5 gal batch in the keg, used a pound of hops total, all in the Whirlpool and dry hop. Grain bill of...

Hi all. I recently read that oat bran has 50% more b glucans than flakes and more protein as well. So I found a dealer online and ordered a kilo to try. I checked it out and it states to have 18% protein, much more compared to the 13.5% on flakes. Has anyone else tried using them for enhancing...

I know the opposite has been discussed a lot, what I'm interested in though is keeping the diacetyl flavor in my ale as part of the flavor. I've been thinking of brewing some dessert themed beers and some of them have an apparent butter flavor to them. I though of using wy1318 which is a heavy...

So, here's the whole story. Every time I bottle, I pour the last bit of the bucket in a mesh bag and squeeze the hell out of it, filling what I get in a 1.5L (50oz) soda bottle. The bottle is squeezed before capping to get the air out. This one usually turns out to be the best beer out of the...

Never been able to produce it myself however. Does anybody have any experience on the matter? Also I've ordered some Taiheke hops (NZ...

So basically I messed up on my first brew, a 10L (2.6 gal) DIPA, trub included. I have primed, cold crashed, fined with gelatin and will be bottling tomorrow from the primary. However I added 60 grams (2.1oz) of sugar for the priming and now I know it is going to be over carbonated if not...

Did my first brew yesterday. Came up with the recipe myself after discussing it with my local supplier. Partial mash and partial boil. Mash did OK I think, preboil gravity was 1.045 (temperature corrected). Boil volume was 9L (2.3 gal) initially that finished at 4.5L (1.18 gal). Then I added 1kg...
