Sorry if I'm revisiting something already discussed, but I just want to clarify. With the CBDS, you are transferring through the liquid post from your fermenter, through the CBDS without any issues? I'm a little concerned because I don't want to cold crash and am looking to pressure transfer...

Are you building that starter and splitting in 4 jars for future use? I just bought a 2L starter kit and am looking to do this.

I should also add, I'm controlling temp via cubic freezer and heater wrap and have the probe mounted to my stainless fermenter under painters putty (works great to insulate). This is place in an area the heater wrap doesn't touch and is in the center of where the beer volume would be.

Late to this thread but wanted to ask a question to people who have used this yeast often. Do you notice a similarity in flavor across all of those beers, despite changes to hops? I've noticed that I almost always get a similar orange juice/grapefruit flavor and cannot detect massive differences...

Hi, I recently bought a mini oak barrel that I want to use for oak aging beers. I'm curious about my case because I don't really intend to fill it with liquor before, as I'm not a fan of bourbon-aged beers (I know, I know..). My question is on the reuse of the barrel and am hoping for some...

Haha you'd have to toss the whole keg! That's the style. I love the juicy, creamy, haziness. On the other hand, I love the crystal clear hop blast like an alpine. All about the other characteristics for me, but that's what's great about beer, to each their own!

I think I need to lower my late boil additions to hit lower IBUs like you state above, then use additional in whirlpool. I'm also thinking of letting the whirlpool cool like 50 degrees during the hop stand to see if this makes a difference. It would be hard with the immersion chiller to get it...

Biscuits - I appreciate the info! He mention anything about hop schedule/dry hopping? I did find a youtube video where he talks a little about process. The thing I find interesting is "changing temperatures during brewing to impact the flavor profile". Hairy - I generally use over 20% or more...

I came across this also looking for a clone recipe. Have you made any progress or have any luck? I've had countless "Hazy" or "Northeast" IPAs, whatever you want to call them and I disagree with the negative posts. I'm no professional homebrewer or AHA judge, and I'm also newer to homebrewing...

I know I'm late to this post, but I'll share my use with both. I'll also preface I've only brewed about 10 batches, but feel I've made some good NEIPAs. I've used London III in 4 and Omega DIPA in 1. Considering I was testing different grain bills and hops, I had a relatively standard process...

Thanks Cevan, I will try that next time. Do you have a link to the thread? I intend to dry hop earlier and up my hop additions in whirlpool and dry. Though I feel like ~7oz in a 2.5 gallon batch should be good..

Thanks for the reply! Below are links to the last 5 that I've made (brewersfriend). Don't get me wrong, they're different beers because of different hops and such, but I do detect a real similarity in the flavor which tends to overpower hop differences. Should I not expect drastic hop...

Hi Folks, New to the forum and first post so bear with me, it's lengthy. I've brewed about 4-5 NEIPA's recently with pretty good results for a very new brewer. There is really just one thing I've begun to notice about them, the flavor is very similar regardless of the hops I use! After reading...

Thanks both for the advice. Based on your recommendations and a trip the the LHBS, I've decided to cut the batch and half and do BIAB all grain. I did buy some magnum hops so I'll bitter with those and throw the rest in at flameout, whirlpool, and dry hop. I'm on my phone now but will add the...

Thanks for the response and guidance! I'll lighten the corn sugar as you said as well as go with munich. Munich wont contribute any type of english or belgian IPA flavor will it? Probably a super noob question... For whatever reason I don't at all enjoy those style IPAs. On the hops, I thought...
