Sorry I mad this post a while back and then life got busy and never replied to purplehaze's response. Mariopareto got the gist of what I was looking for. Basically I my plan for a bar is bigger than I want to support on the lid of the keezer. My original thought was something like below...

Getting ready to build a new keezer. My first was a rushed together pretty much built in a day keezer when I decided I was switching to kegging. Functionally great, but definitely improvements I would like to make. I've been a woodworker way longer than a brewer and always wanted to make a...

I had that impression at first as well, but then in the follow up episode I thought they just said connect the posts and let it stabilize. I would have less skepticism on the concept if there was something to actively move the CO2 through the hop solution. That does make the setup a little...

Anyone in this thread listen to recent Brulosophy episode about the "gas hopper"? Sounds like an interesting alternative to dry hopping with less O2 exposure risk and less beer loss due to hop absorption. The basic premise is have two kegs - one with carbonated beer (ferment and close transfer...

Just came here after getting the email to see if this is had been brought up in the thread. When the email title said modern IPA yeast I was thinking more about the "New West Coast IPA" thread, but with all the discussion in the description about haze I'd agree this is a NEIPA/Hazy intended...

I've always used a 2:1 mix of NE and Verdant from lalbrew in my Hazies. Can't even tell you why honestly (likely answer is I read it in this thread somewhere). For my last several I have also been adding malto since I was always blowing by my FG target. Since then I've been damn happy with my...

If you look around there dirt cheap chest freezers available often. That plus an inkbird and you are good to go. They are a bit of a pain reaching down into them, but a low cost option.

I used 10mL of Biofine for 5 gallons, which looking back is a bit on the low side but not terrible. It's similar to what I've used done in the past, but I also dry hopped this one more than in the past so maybe needed more Biofine. I did not shake it before adding that is a new tip for me...

Any one had one of these that just won't drop clear? My most recent brew was basically the original recipe posted in this thread but different hops. Simcoe Nelson in the boil to 1 BU/GU. Simcoe Nelson in the whirlpool at ~1 oz/gallon Mosaic/Simcoe dry hop at ~2 oz/gallon Note that is more...

Anyone got a brewed with any recent Galaxy? I was amongst the staying away from Galaxy crowd, but I've had a couple of commercial hazies lately that were outstanding. Curious if it's just the big guys hand picking good hops (they were from Other Half and Toppling Goliath) or if things have...

To follow up I soft crashed this time to 45F and got the most trub/yeast I’ve ever got while dumpling. Doesn’t seem like I got enough to say I got everything (so hard to tell with a stainless) but the last dump attempt it was basically just clear beer so maybe. I let things warm up then to...

I do the same but still seem to get beer that punches through. I get a bit each time and try several times. I did put a reducing fitting after the butterfly valve that helped a bit more, but still sounds about like your experience.

What temp do you soft crash to? I’m usually 50 soft and then 40 to cold crash before I transfer to the serving keg. I noticed my last time I cleaned my fermenter right after transferring and still had a decent amount of beer over the yeast cake (still dialing in amount to put in the new...

I'm pretty interested in the DH conversation. I have always just done one large shot after fermentation. My process up until my last NEIPA was similar to DGallo with a DH keg. My last one I upgraded to a conical. (Delta Ferm Tank). I built by own dry hopper and I can now DH as much as I...

Hazy IPA - Citra Strata I7. Turned out to be one of my best so far.
