What are people thinking about the recent Krush from YVH. I didn't like my Krush IPA much at first, but it's tasting better after time in the keg. I wouldn't use it as a primary hop again, but it's not bad as a supporting hop, at least this lot I used.

Wow, cool product. It would be interesting to know if it makes a difference in practice of course

i have used some Wai-iti and Idaho 7 from them recently that I enjoy a lot, fwiw. I hope to order more Wai-iti for my next ipa.

i just used some in an ipa. i didn't really like it, but it could just be me. it had a lot of that kind of floral/geranium-like character hops sometimes have. i'd be interested to know if other people find that or like that character.

yeah, i'm doin 6ish gallons in primary and add a pound of dry hops when i'm doing higher abv beers with LAIII type strains.

Yeah!

I used about 1 oz/gal Eureka in the hop stand and then dry hop was 16 oz at 54F after dropping yeast.

Interesting. Lupomax quality was higher? I haven’t used that for awhile. Consistency would be nice

Love me some Idaho 7 IPA! Never fails! Thanks to @Dgallo for recommending oat malt and wheat malt combo. I did 20% of each with the rest Rahr Pale and it’s a rich flavor without being too malty

What have people noticed when going from dry hopping into primary to dry hopping into a dedicated dry hopping vessel with periodic mixing? Is the hop character a lot more intense? I am thinking about trying it. Can I purge the dry hop vessel and serving keg with fermentation gas (ie is there...

I’m also interested in trying this. Hop creep is my main concern with super high mash temp. Maybe try extra low dryhop temp

cool, maybe i'll order at least a few for some ipas to get me through to the fall. thanks

Is it safe to order hops from YVH when the weather is so hot? Will they degrade a lot? Should I wait until the weather cools off? I'm on the east coast, so long trek.

I enailed Trong. His reply: “ The maximum recommended pressure is 15 psi. However, we do have a number of users who reported using it up to 20 psi.” I’ve used it to 20 psi with beer. I will say that these things are a little foamier than using beer line. I don’t know if I’d trust it to...

I wonder if it's S23. That was mareketed as a good yeast for biotransformation and is also known as a terrible yeast lol
