Next NEIPA is in the books. Process went much, MUCH smoother. Perceived bitterness is higher on this one, probably mellow with another week or two in the keg, but maybe also because I increased hops in the whirlpool and in the DH. Maybe next round I will push more hops to the DH and drop back...

NEIPA #2 is in the books. Going into a 3 gallon keg, went with a little larger batch with the plan of leaving some of the material behind Original Gravity: 1.075 Final Gravity: 1.019 ABV (standard): 7.37% IBU (tinseth): 25.47 SRM (morey): 6.24 Mash pH: 5.72 FERMENTABLES: Pale 2-Row (75.7%)...

@RCope are you purging after you DH? I have been DH'ing at 48-60 hrs into fermentation, but have been doing that b/c I don't have a way to ferment under pressure/ purge my Anvil fermenter.

I did cold crash. I have some solid bungs that I use, not perfect by any stretch, I know. The Anvil fermenter can't be pressurized, so no the best solution, but it seemed to do okay TBH as far as oxygenation goes. The pickup tube for the fermenter is a 90-degree tube, but I can rotate it. I...

Just kicked my first keg of my first hazy. Going to brew second this weekend. I would like to do a closed transfer. Have an anvil fermentor and all the pieces/ parts to hook up the outlet of the fermentor to the beer out post and run the gas out to the fermentor. Plan is to fill and purge, then...

Just wanted to say thanks to all in this thread. I've been brewing since 2016ish, but have been bottling. I've been drinking more and more hazy IPAs b/c that is what you can get at the local breweries, bottle shops, grocery stores...gas stations...everywhere. I have stayed away from brewing them...

Yeah. First stab was 82% 2 row, 12% white wheat, and 6% oats. But that is just a finger in the air SWAG. I really like the Galaxy & Motueka combo, have used it a bunch. Haven't used and an not really familiar with Sultana either. Looked it up, apparently Sultana is 06277 or Denali or...

Anybody brew a clone or have a recipe? Probably my favorite beer...at least at the moment. Kinda interested in cloning it, but more interested in using it as a jumping off point for coming up with a go to hazy ipa recipe. I know MT has some homebrew versions of their beers or there, but it did...

That's kinda what I thought, but then thought about poisoning myself. 🤮

Where we live, there a bunch of crickets. Had a particularly loud one in our laundry room tonight. I actually found the little bastard. Then there was another right after that...in the laundry room. Went looking, and turns out there were 2 more, coming in where the plumbing comes in through the...

I do a Christmas Porter every year...well, I kinda have to do it every year or some of my family might riot. American Porter with vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and some cocoa nibs. Just cracked one of the 2019 batch. Tastes good, will be really good by Christmas.

Overbuilt an A10 Darkness starter for my annual Christmas porter, and I am looking for a stout recipe to use it the rest of it in. Milk...oatmeal...sweet...whatcha got? Not looking for an imperial, probably want something with a little quicker turnaround.

As others have said... If I want the flavors of the things I'm adding to shine, I use Vodka. If I want a bourbon/ whiskey flavor, like bourbon oak and vanilla in a RIS, I use that. Dark spiced rum...sounds interesting.

No Co2. Working on moving to kegging but not there just yet.

Oddball question here, but... Normally I leave the valve/ pickup tube @ 3 o'clock-ish and rotate it as I pull it from the fermentor. I forgot, and left it in the down position (6 o'clock). I just went to pull a sample of the porter I have going, and it seems the pickup tube is clogged with...

Maybe I will crack a couple and split a sugar cube between them and recap. See how they do.

Have a nice RIS that was brewed March 2018, bottled in Dec. Brewed with some yeast (I can't remember, I'd have to look it up if the strain matters), and I bottled it with cbc-1 cask yeast. Problem is, I had a bad capper, so no carbonation. Capper has been replaced, and beers are carbed...

Okay, 2 questions. 1. What all would I need to keg? Simple setup. 2. Would it improve the longevity of my beers? Could I keep a keg around for a couple of months and still have a good beer? I know, what a weird question.
