I honestly experience the complete opposite than you. TH is usually the only beer in my fridge that doesn’t change after 3+ months. And I go to TH probably 1-2 times a month and have beers from them that last 2-3 months at a time. Any other beer I have after 2-3 months old taste different. There...

Do it and report back! I definitely prematurely said it was underwhelming when it isn’t. It just needed time. I definitely think yeast is a key factor, which clearly we known from this thread. And I’ve done probably all my NEIPAs with verdant recently and I am very disappointed. I know people...

An update to this. I actually tried this beer again and it’s awesome. A little strong on the LA3 taste but I fermented hotter than I should have. After 3 weeks in the keg it has reached the sweet spot. I always get impatient but this is worth the wait.

Thank you. I just ordered some. I also tried the tree house home brew recipe they posted a couple months ago. I basically followed it to a T besides fermenting a little hotter than I should. It’s kinda underwhelming and I don’t know if that’s because my hop contact was all messed up but I feel...

Disregard this. I thought you were the OP

Would you just sell the CF5 with all the accessories? And if so how much.

How was the bitterness on the recipe? Seemed like a lot of hops during bittering phases instead of doing a whirlpool. How long was the wort on the hops after the flame out addition?

I switched to campden tablets when I brew with RO and noticed a difference. So I would suggest still doing that. But I honestly think my plastic issue was from the galaxy. I probably used too much of it honestly.

Fiddlehead is hit or miss. Not worth it to me. And you buy it from a gas station or packie you’re running the risk of when it was bottled/can and then leaving it out in the warm store for months. I mean this is a yeast thread not a price on 4 pack thread. But to the other guys point Nate does...

Half the price? Where are you getting hazies for $7.50 a 4 pack? Serious question

I mean 15 bucks a 4 pack is cheap. So many places I try and end up dumping the beer and wasting money. I can confidently say I have never dumped a TH beer. They are the most consistent beers out there and their price point is spot on or lower than any other brewery. To me 91 bucks for a case of...

Maybe. I see the video but I can’t view it.

Anyone happen to be at TH yesterday and see Nate homebrew? I’m sure he didn’t show much or reveal much but I’d be curious if you could see mash temps/how long they’re doing it/boil times/hop stand etc.

Just room temp. I did 1.5 sugar tablets per 16 oz of an 8% beer. Might bump that up to 2 tablets on the next beer.

Also I made a double NEIPA all citra beer over the summer. I can conditioned 6 cans because I had extra and wanted to try it out. The beers tasted completely different than what I had in the keg. It tasted like a treehouse beer. I don’t know why but it was awesome. I have a newborn now so I...
