I’m late to this conversation but here it goes. I mostly use Krispy Kveik and I repitch ALL the time. Kveik will last forever but it did start as a liquid (well, it’s still a liquid). Yesterday I did a double brew and had saved Novalager from my last brew. It had only been 2 weeks in the fridge...

This is the most delicious beer I’ve made out of 27 batches. First time trying sequoia hops and I think that’s what makes it great. The recipe is on Brewfather. Look up Vienna Sequoia

That’s crazy. Isnt usually the other way around with the stout on the bottom?

For Easter I try to make a Cadbury Cream Egg stout. It’s my second year trying and my second time not getting the flavour I want. Both times however, very good stouts. This one finished with a 1.020 gravity, so it’s very thick!

Here’s my Scottish Wee Heavy. It’s a little under carbed but, I ran out of everything else. I will be making this one again. Delicious!

I’m about to keg an oatmeal stout fermented on Kveik. I was looking for some vanilla flavours but I don’t think they came through. I’ll have to wait for carbonation and serving temp though.

I just finished the keg on this one. It’s a Pilsner Urquel clone. I don’t know what the real beer tastes like but this was really nice and looked great. I’ve never used so much Saaz in my life.

PH should be between 5.2 and 5.6 for home-brew. If its 7 then you are not converting enough sugars.

My first year as a home brewer: I made at least 80 gallons. I say at least because the recipes called for 5 gallons but I often got 6-7. Boil off isn’t great with Brewzilla.

I made this holiday brew with Kveik lager yeast. It’s SO tastes like Christmas. 3 base malts with some cara II, 2 cinnamon sticks and 2 zested oranges. Added some molasses to bump it up to 7%. Christmas means stay home at my place!

Yes, I used the glue.

I just made this. It’s good, but not Guinness

I got 10’ of 3/4 pax (pvc) with corner pieces and t-connectors. 2 - 12 packs of red pens from the dollars store and a 3/4 inch FNPT X FHT PVC Swivel to connect the hose. I had the fastrack (they’re pretty cheap on Amazon) and measured it all out. I got the adhesive recommended for pvc. It dries...

I don’t mind when I have a couple helpers. We plot through 2 cases in about 15-20 min. It’s just an excuse to drink with friends. By myself, I don’t overly care for it.
