This may be a silly question but hear me out, trying to understand. if I obtain a high OG say 1.120 can I use a low attenuating yeast to keep the FG higher and the alcohol lower than what would be expected from the OG and keeping a thick mouthfeel beer? I would expect this would make the beer...

Thanks for confirming must be part of the process

Makes sense use a low flocculation yeast

From the thread I got it from

Found this in another thread and it makes sense with the addition of oats

Limiting the flow of the co going into the carb stone. Instead of 15 psi all going into the tank over say an hour or however long it takes to pressurize the vessel it prolongs the process and allows for the CO2 to absorb. I’m not a chemist, another member suggested it and it’s worked so didn’t...

Hey all, I’ve brewed a few stouts in the past, some good some not so good but one underlying item was consistent, the beer didn’t come out thick like I was expecting or according to the recipe. When I say thick I mean something like Hill Farmstead Damon or Tree House Miles to Go or I will not...

Hey all does anyone use a flow meter when carbing? I’ve been using the following but have ended up with the same issue each time I replace it, liquid (beer) backfills into it and then in to lines when the pressure equalizes over time. has anyone used one that has a check valve or doesn’t face...

Ah so I overlooked the temp you DH at, I kept a it at 80° where I was fermenting at

after crashing the hops do you try and remove them? I have a conical and have the ability to do that. Just thinking of beer loss. I pretty much follow everything you mentioned expect I don’t remove the yeas, as mentioned the hops do give off sugar and this allows the yeast to eat and create...

For NEIPA is the flavor and smell generated mostly during WP or DH? I’ve been trying to get this down for a while and went as far as DH at a 5LB/bbl and it came out grassy and too much hop bite. I gave it enough time that most of the hop bite dissolved buttoo much of it is still there for an NEIPA

Please send code

good call, experimentation is part of the brewing fun

looking for more information on this, I understand the concept where we add hops to fermentation side twice. My assumption is the total amount of hops used is the amount the brewer was expecting to use overall. If I wanted to hop 3bbls worth, the end result would be 3bbls no matter how it was...
