I have 5 one wire temperature sensors for sale. Originally purchased from BrewPi. All come with plastic disonnects with threaded locking mechanisms. They all use an RJ11 (phone) connector for the controller. These have very light use. 3x 1/2" NPT short sensors (1.5 meter cables) 1x Flanged...

Specs look better than the stuff in the US (2020 crop). Color, nitrogen, and yield are back in line. Diastatic power is really poor though. WK converts to only 42 Lintner. https://coa.bsgcraft.com/Resources/CraftBrewing/COA/Chevallier%20Malt%20PO160-042644%20SS26550%2059018-2%20.pdf I used...

Definitely a long shot here.... I'm looking for a Schaefer Party Keg (or other German gravity vessel). Looking for 20L or 5 gallons. I'm not interested in a firkin or other English style gravity setup, unless it has a sanke type in/out for filling.

I assumed the root cause was growing challenges (probably one reason Chevallier was discontinued prior to revival). However, I wanted to point this out as this lot of malt is much different than previous lots. Higher color means this malt will almost certainly taste different, and low DP may...

The spec sheet I got from a sack purchased a while back had some min/max values. The values out of spec from that are: Protein (TN Max = 1.85%) Friability (Min = 80%) Homogeneity (Min = 96%) But comparing the two, my old sack had better extract (79.6%), and significantly more DP (97), and...

FYI for the lovers of Chevallier malt. The most recent batch sent to BSG (distributor in USA) is pretty out of spec. This batch is probably elsewhere in the world too...not sure they're malting a lot of this stuff. High protein (13.8%), poor extract (75.8%), high color (4.8L), terrible...

Thank you both . Beer is getting brewed at the end of the month (if my schedule holds up...!). I'll get a follow up on recipe, process, and results when it's ready.

I've used Verdant in small pale beers (Teeble Beer, and a 4.5% ABV Lavender smoked beer), as well as hazy pale ale/IPA. I really enjoyed the flavor in the Teeble Beer, and I like the performance in the ferment. Doesn't clear very well IME. I've only used it in all malt beers though. And...

Thanks for the details. I actually have both Verdant and Liberty Bell, so I will try that. I'm definitely thinking too hard on this. You're targeting 0.8-1.0 M cells/ml/P correct? Is that 2 packs of yeast into a 1.040 beer? I usually target .5M cells/ml/P when using dry yeast for standard...

It was definitely at Belgian levels. So likely a combination of one generation too far and additional glucose. Yeah, glucose definitely changes the yeast profile. I did a Hermann mash schedule back in 2016....not sure it made a big impact (though the beer was good). The next time I make a...

WLP007 was pitched at 64F and ramped to 67F. I was pretty surprised by the esters myself. My only other thought was that the slurry was 1 generation too far. But it still has me a little gun shy with invert and English yeast. No real attenuation target, high or low. I'd be interested to...

Looking for some help on yeast selection and fermentation temps for a Bitter with Chevalier and ~14% of gravity coming from Invert sugar. Last time I used invert in a bitter with WLP007, it was an estery mess. Hoping to get a more balanced beer this time. Some thoughts were S-04 fermented...

Alright. That process makes sense. I understand that the head pressure at least has to be high enough at the ambient temperature (in the beer line) and dissolved CO2 level to keep CO2 in solution. Which could definitely be a higher than 50F. I'll just have to tried to set up the right...
