With 12oz of pellets in a hopstand doesn't that create a ridiculous amount of trub? I already lose enough wort with 1/3 that amount of hops. How much do you lose doing this? or do you have a method for dealing with that amount of hop particulate? Thanks!

Chicken Dinner! GO DAWGS!!!

I ended up with an abv of about 6% 1.054 OG 1.008 FG (after 2 weeks in primary) I sprinkled in an additional cup of Light DME and used the Trappist HG yeast. In addition to the orange peel and coriander, I also threw in 2oz of citra hops toward the end of the boil because they smell so damn good...

GO DAWGS! BEAT THE DUCKS! oh, and GO BEER!

I want to brew something similar to Elysian's Idiot Sauvin IPA, which features Nelson Sauvin hops, but I want to play with the hops a little in a split batch. I'm hoping that one of you out there with a more discerning tongue could suggest a good base recipe to work off of for this idea...

There may have been a temp change, but only a degree or two at most I would think. It's pretty much at 66 degrees all the time where I keep them. The first krausen was more white and the second is more straw colored. I pitched Wyeast american ale II 1272. First Krausen: Things calmed...

Did you soak the nibs in vodka or anything before racking on top of them? How long has it been on the nibs? Are they in some sort of bag (is that what I see in there)? I always end up with some sort of oil slick when I use nibs. However, like the above says if it starts to look more white and...

Fermenting in a glass carboy for the first time and am loving getting to watch the vigorous fermentation. However, with new experiences come new questions... Is it a normal thing to see a high krausen rise then fall (albeit not completely) then rise again higher than the first time? Brewed...

(fingers crossed)

Question: I seem to run into the problem of soft and runny yeast cakes which can make racking a bit more tedious. I've seen some people with cakes so tight you could bounce a quarter off them:cool:. They just rest their racking cane or siphon right on top of the trub and if I did that it would...

So don't worry about getting some cloudiness in the bottling bucket and go ahead and suck up those last few pints and then when it comes to cracking the beers open just pour carefully?

When racking to my bottling bucket yesterday I noticed my yeast cake at the bottom was fairly runny (like oatmeal) and not as hard/compact as I see in all the videos/pictures. So when I was siphoning I had a really hard time trying to keep a clear flow and wasn't able to siphon off the last half...
