I used a steamer basket as a sort of false false bottom to keep the bag up and the burning happened under there. I like the idea of the induction converter to distribute the temp a little better, and a real false bottom would probably work better. I see some false bottoms have a valve...

I am looking for a new kettle that would work for an all grain batch. I have a bayou kettle, but when I use my induction pad it has been scorching during the mash, even if I keep the bag off the bottom. I was thinking maybe a basket setup with a recirculating pump or something? Open to any...

Tapping out of the gas line when I give a tilt works, but ai’ll probably go ahead and transfer to some kegs over the weekend. I’ll be rocking it around and stirring up the dregs every time I take a pour otherwise, and I do want to give it a chance to clear up. Not a bad juicy beer:

I read you can’t run a mini fridge while tilted, so i’ll still use the gas’s out and stillage it into some purged smaller kegs.

Yes I got a hop torpedo parted up, but haven’t implemented just yet. Next batch for sure. I think I have a plan for transferring out. I am going to hook up a liquid line out to the gas post and try to set up a stillage to tilt the beer out. It will be tricky since I fermented in there. Not to...

A little of both, but I don’t think 10oz of sugar will distract the S05 too much, but I could be wrong. Mainly I just want to get the beer out without oxidation and/or stirring up the trub. Foaming floating dip tubes suck. The flavor of the beer is pretty close to juicy haze voodoo ranger. I...

Initially I had 1/2 a homebrew pack. I was trying to push the orange by under pitching. Then when it was stuck at 1.021 I vented and dry hopped added a full pack of S05, and primed with the hope it would flush out any C02 that snuck in. I purged also. It worked a little. The tilt is going back...

About a week maybe? But it is chilling now.

After elevating the temperatures for a few more days it was well stalled. Against my better judgement, I relieved the pressure, popped it open, fed 10oz of boiled sugar water and dumped a pack of S05, and another oz or so of citra dry hop in a sack. I sealed and flushed with some CO2. Last night...

Briess Pilsen light And M12 Usually, I add some amylase into my DME as it is warming up to a boil.. not really sure if it helps, but it slipped my mind this time. It was a big underpitch too. I read that Kveik likes it that way and I wanted to push the orange factor.

Or, maybe a combo of the 3rd and 4th options. Pour a pint to measure with classic hydrometer and give it a taste. If it really isn’t quite there yet, I’ll boil up a little sugar, add in a pack of S05, and add one last dry hop before purging and letting it carb up naturally.

I am using a tilt, which measured the OG at 1.063 and now reads 1.021. 1/2 of Kveik yeast on a 15G batch, trying to get orange esters to go with 1lb hopstand only citra hops. I have been adding hot water to the tub the 15.5G torpedo is sitting in. The fermentation seems to have stalled when the...

I have 2 Brett 5G cornys that I’ve been dumping (pressure transferring) any so-so beer or leftovers into, with a smoked white oak stave (I put one in the grill off to the side while I made ribs burgers chicken wings etc. and swap them in and out of the beer/grill) The 5G have Br-8 and “all the...

Burnt braggot + gose. I like the combo.
