Lol yes 65, sorry. I don't think the MO really matters to be honest, I had put in there in this last batch to try and amp up the Maltiness to combat the galaxy, but just adding the extra couple pounds of grain did the trick, the MO is not essential.

I posted in this thread many pages back with the intent to cloan (or make a similar beer) to Trilliums Galaxy Fort Point Pale Ale. Well 6 batches later and I think I have done it. Don't really know if it can get much closer or better. Recipe and measurements 5 gallon batch: 8 lbs 2 row 4 lbs...

I think it depends on the level of oxidation. With my own little experiment of having that cup of beer in the fridge, it seems the color went dull first. Secondly, it didn't taste as sharp, ethereal, or nuanced. I would suspect a little amount of oxidation in your case (which makes sense...

Hi, I definitely agree with it being possible oxidation. The other day when I was transferring from my fermenter to hopping keg i filled a large glass with some of the left over beer from the fermenter. I tried some and then kept it in the fridge for a day or so. It absolutely went from a bright...

The yeast has close to zero percent with having to do with the cloudiness. It's the wheat primarily. Secondarily, it's the dry hops interacting with the wheat (or adjuncts such as flaked oats, etc.) Here is a source to it for it...

Yes, I definitely believe in whirlpool hops. I just question using the highly aromatic hops in them (such as citra/galaxy), but this I'm not sure of, was just a thought. I am pretty sure that Trillium uses WLP007. Like just about positive. JC has stated on BA that he uses a VERY flocculant...

A pic of my beer.

Thank you Braufessor for this instruction on brewing, you are a giant. From Florida and recently vacationed in New England https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/my-vacation-to-new-england-and-drinking-the-holy-grail-s.438157/#post-4923736 I knew i was going to love the beer, but the...

Hey thanks for the info! Ill skip secondary. One more question then. Should I bother cold crashing? I am using a 6.5 gal Big Mouth plastic carboy with a spout at the bottom. I am thinking I might be able to use that spout to tube directly into bottling bucket without having to use a siphon.

Hey guys tried searching for answer to this question but couldn't find it. For this recipe/style and for those that are bottling, are you guys racking from a primary carboy to secondary carboy? If so, how long in the primary? Are you adding the first hop additions in the primary or secondary...
