Everything sold.

Getting out of the homebrew game. I'll have everything ready to sell by Sunday March 15th. Would like to sell everything together but might consider splitting up kegging and general homebrew stuff. 10 kegs, most hold pressure. 10 lb c02 tank, dual regulator. 5 perkick faucets and stainless...

Sold

$225 for freezer, temp controller, wood collar and base. Holds 6 kegs on the floor plus 2 on the hump with collar. Extra kegging and dispensing components available for additional cost if interested. Link to craigslist ad. Located in Southeast Pennsylvania...

It will turn out great. Give it a couple weeks. In my experience, lots of dry hopping w pellets creates some "dust" that need to settle out. Geletain may help, but who wants that in a hazy ipa. Give it some time and you'll be left with nothing but hazy goodness

Some hop matter still makes it through, but bags do a good job containing most of it. Don't be concerned... that looks like a typical biab beer.

I think your beer will be just fine, especially since you knocked the temps down right after realizing you pitched hot. Yeast love 100 degree temps!

A little of everything. Hot/cold break, particles from your grain thay werent converted to sugar, much of the hops will still make it through as well. That's typical of a well hopped beer.

Sure thing. I've done a similar schedule many times with great results. Have a good trip.

A healthy pitch should get it done, but I'd sprinkle a little champagne yeast in your bottle bucket

I'd put half of your dry hops in now. If bottling, put the other half in when you come back and bottle 2 days later. If kegging, keg hop w the rest. 3 weeks at 60 to 65 will be fine.

Well said.

It's an infection somewhere. They will dull and blah hop flavor and aroma as you described. Could be your ic or kettle valve but i doubt it? Likely starter or transfer equipment, valves, tubing, keg posts? A friend had a recurring infection that had to do with a valve on his conical...

Brewing a wet hopped rye ipa as we speak. Filled up a 6.5 gal fermenter bucket from the top 10 feet of one cascade plant. A third will go into my brew, the rest will get dried for keg hopping a few beers. For me, I get roughly 6 oz for every 2 liters of wet hops which yields approx an ounce...

No harm there, don't bother transferring. I've done worse w no issues. Beer should be fine, pitch at will!
