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.

I used malto in my last NEIPA too and like you I'm absolutely loving it. Other than the malto I had done the same recipe before and while that one was really good this one was definitely a step above. Like you said it's a bit hard to describe the difference but it's in the realm of...

I am surprised by the difference too. I did aerate but didn't hydrate. I was going to do both but then read the package and it said no need to aerate or hydrate so I just sprinkled it in dry (was too late not to aerate). Looking back at my tilt data I was a hair above the range at 76 when I...

I used it on my last one. For me it lagged about 10 hours and then was fermenting strong. I would have been really nervous 36-48 hours in. The beer ended up great but I've read a few other complaints so not sure I'll use it again.

Second response to this. I went on vacation for a long week and hadn't had one of these in about 10 days. Just poured one and it's significantly more dank than I replied the last time. I still love it but like I said before I like a good amount of dank in my IPAs. Side note - I also picked...

Take my comments maybe with a grain of salt because I love a dank ipa. I actually thought this could have a little more dank flavor. The citrus and fruit is more pronounced for me. Normal I get all my hops from YVH but this time the only thing I needed was the Idaho 7 so I just ordered it...

There’s probably personal preference but I wouldn’t want to go lower than that on bitterness. Even at that it’s not strong. The flavor is citrus and fruity not bitter On the malts it’s a bit hard to tell because there were two new things that affect FG on this brew. This was my first NEIPA...

Yeah that's what I meant. Same on my end. Didn't do anything different then usual. I guess not a big deal

Any idea why I can't get the picture to post? Tried from multiple ways and devices. Have posted many pictures here.

Reporting back. Finally a had chance to investigate the slow pour issue. Pulled the liquid post and noticed something black. The little o ring on the poppet came off and was stuck between the poppet and post. Quick easy fix. Here’s the first real pour. This is my best yet. Lots of...

I think I will add a process step to push a bit of beer into a separate container after this experience. Thanks guys I think I will take off the post and see if that helps and otherwise live with it. Also thanks everyone for the tangent in the thread. I could have posted this in a kegging...
