Krispy is a strain of kveik from escarpment labs, lots of peole use it for lagers because of its clean crisp results at warmer temps

I have a couple oz. Hallertauer and I'll be using Krispy for my yeast

Im just looking for input on the following grain bill I'm planning for my next brew. 8lbs 2 row 2lbs Vienna 1/2lb carapils 60 minute mash at 153. I also have 1lb of melanoidin but im not sure it its necessary...hoping for a somewhat malty europeanish lager...thoughts?

Hey everyone, im just curious if anyone runs their draught tower drip tray drain line down into a container inside the kegerator?

Well i increased my strike water since my last brew and saw a 15% increase in efficiency (i was usually slumming around 65%) but i may not have had a strong enough boil to get down to volume to get my target og. I'll try this recipe again when i need to get another IPA in my keg rotation

So i tried my hand at an ipa today and undershot my fg by 10 points, my guess is i didnt boil off enough. I added dextrose to my fermenter to make up those 10 points, will that cause an issue? Should i have waited for initial fermentation to slow down? I think i need to RDWHAHB haha

Hey everyone, im looking at building a manifold for the bottom of a coleman cooler uskng some pex i have left over, would it be fine to just loose fit everything together rather than crimping each connection?

First batch into the keg setup, feels good to be free from the hassle of bottling!

So i went into my LHBS with a recipe in hand, but they didnt have a particular malt i needed for my recipe so i improvised on the fly and went with something else. I grabbed 9 lbs pale, 2 lbs maris otter and 3/4 lb crystal 75. As for hops i grabbed 2 oz each of cascade, willamette, and...

I ended up using jag75s advice. We'll see how she turns out in a few weeks!

Hey all, im going to be brewing a 5 gallon batch tomorrow, 10lbs pale, .75lb crystal30, i also have 3/4lb or caramunich i may or may no use. I have 3 oz chinook and 2 oz amarillo on hand. Doing a 1 hour mash BIAB and a 1 hour boil. Any suggestions on hop additions for a mid range ibu brew would...

Well I guess I should have measured my water rather than trusting the markings in my kettle. Oh well haha it looks like beer, and tastes like beer. Next round I will learn from my mistakes haha

Ya I will calculate as per volume collected, is there anything to do to bring the abv. Down or just roll with it?
