Easy folks. Can anyone recommend a place to get proper stinky hops? Preferably that can ship to europe... I went to a hop distributor yesterday and literally almost all american hops smelled the same. was depressing. A few spanish grown ones were ''acceptable'' but still not to make beer you...

I believe all you can do is close transfer and purge everything 3 times. After all theres only so much one can do to avoid oxygenation, i believe the cbc would consume any oxygen that would be picked up by moving the liquids. I remember reading early on in the thread that Trillium does not...

I see. Im not sure of their origin but i have been told they are used by a ton of brewers of all sizes. Indeed we have it available in 20g packets, it also seems there are 19 times more available living cells per gram: lallemand Living Yeast Cells ≥ 1 x 10*10 per gram of dry yeast Fermentis...

A quick question on cbc1, how much are you fellas using per batch? Also has anyone tried F2?

How does the mouthfeel compare to other previous attempts with the cbc?

That looks well on it! How did you carb this one? How much does it stink?

Could that subtle ''spice'' undertone be the subdued phenols that arent present in a high enough concentration to be perceived by a human as clove or pepper?

Glad to have your input, could you share the gravities at which you dry hopped? Also at what rate have you pitched the yeasts? How is it stinking through fermentation? For my personal taste, i have much prefered the neipas ive tried without any lager malt. That said there is a certain appeal to...

No man, though those guys have done colabs with the brewery here. Tbh the beers ive tried from cloudwater here in spain werent anything spectacular, though most certainly fine specimens. From the uk ive had very good beers from Beavertown.

One One of the details i can provide is that brewer much prefers vermont ale yeast over this one... I was excited to try it to but have lost it after being underwhelmed, perhaps had too high expectation. Btw this is one of the best brewers in europe making neipa this side of the pond, easily...

I tried a neipa yesterday made with the new lallemand neipa yeast and meh, i was expecting a ton more. Neutral if anything slightly alcoholic but thats it. And i know the brewer tried to get those esters going.... I think its a miss.

Not a bad set up my friend! I for one dont like steam as a form of distillation because steam can volatilize and decarboxylize some of the more interesting compounds due to its higher temperature. Im curious how does it smell? does it smell better than the hops? If so then your method might be...

I think its a great process if you have access to a say hl distiller minimum. I honestly doubt one would get much more than 10 or 15ml from 1 kg of really terpy hops, and 1 kg of hops ground suck up A LOT of water and you need for the plant material to literally be in abundant water. However...

Theres far too much bad info on this thread. Hop butane oil can indeed be made, but theres a reason theyre doing it with co2 hehe. Butane is an excellent gas at picking up molecules c10 through c30 and not so great for molecules much bigger than that, mainly picks up the c10s through 20s...

Totally agree. Some friend who own a brewery when they changed to the big 3.3hl fermentors screwe up their signature neipa a good 4 or 5 times before it became similar to the smaller system, then another so many to get it right, now its better than before every single batch. I doubt in a few...
