Looking to soft crash this to ~50F when fermentation complete to dry hop the Kazbek hops. It's 27 hrs since first hit 1.014. There are occasional dips to 1.013. Last one 4 hrs ago. Just curious when do I declare victory and set Inkbird to 50? Fermenting in Fermzilla with blow off tube, no...

Thanks for feedback....i like this approach. Some more poking on the interweb would make me believe that the warmer (90+ F) starting fermentation temp is the "culprit" for the Voss "twang". So, i'm back to using Voss (dam - think i'm turning blonde ;)) as the yeast - but this time starting with...

As luck would have it - i have an Omega Lutra dry yeast packet available. will switch this recipe to use that yeast based on discussion here. As a side note, this recipe was "loosely" based on Brulosophy article. That recipe utilizes the Kazbek hops (that i tried in a Czech Pilsner brewed at...

I ferment in the basement. It will b a fairly constant ambient 74 F. I was planning on wrapping fermzilla in a heat blanket. The fermzilla has a thermowell, so the inkbird controller would keep the fermzilla at 90F for the Voss.

One of the reasons i was leaning towards the Voss was my fermentation chamber is busy hosting a Hazy NEIP (based on IA Wrench) and holding at 66 F. I can fit only (1) Fermzilla fomenter in that box. Hence the room temp or higher desire for Voss yeast. Maybe, i'll just have to settle for waiting...

Would the suggestion be then to switch to something like Safale US-05 to bring it more in alignment with A. Pale Ale (18B)?

Thanks, Readjusted to get "correct" color and to dumb the ABV down a little....

Folks, Looking to use the Kazbek (1 lbs.) & Tettnang (8 oz.) hops that i recently purchased. First up will be a BJCP (2021) 18B Pale Ale recipe. Haven't used these hops before, but poking around the interweb (that never lies) these two seem like an interesting duo. Looking for "Dude - looks...

Thanks for response. I'm pretty sure that "half mat" (https://www.ssbrewtech.com/products/ftss-touch-chronical-and-unitank-heating-pad?variant=39579037237319) would be problematic to "attach" to the fermzilla. Happy to use that heating mat if others have found a way to "attach" to the fermzilla...

I'm currently utilizing 2 All Rounder for fermentation - with a single 5cu. ft. chest freezer as fermentation chamber + 40W heat wrap (https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/fermwrap.htm) "rigged up" around the all rounder; both controlled by an Inkbird WiFi controller. This basically single...

Nope. I clicked the checkbook to select it and then put it in the cart. I even added the coupon code IHOHJGOT in checkout just before purchase and reduction stayed at $24. I'd show a pic but it has CC info....
