I didn't think about this and unfortunately missed this before overbuilding a starter, splitting it into two mason jars and decanting the one I pitched. That said, it had a good 72 hours in a 34F fridge and looked fairly clear above the yeast. However I just pitched that into a well...

I've thought about removing the poppets but that seems like an o2 nightmare. What is your process for this?

For those using Fermonsters with floating dip tubes, what exactly is your process with hoppy beers? The last two batches I've had issues trying to pull beer out through the dip tube. No matter how much I crash there is still some hop debris on the surface that I think is clogging the dip...

Summer is a phenomenal beer

I just use these to vacuum seal my dry hop charge...

So something like this would work? And by super strength Star San are you just not dilluting it as much? What is the purpose of super-strengthing it...

I was going to add them to a SS dry hop canister and purge as best as possible. Only reason I was going to use them was to get idaho7 in the DH and that's the only form I have them in. Maybe I just skip it or suck it up and buy some pellets even though I have a 12oz of whole leaf. It's good...

First time using whole hops in a neipa dry hop. What is the current recommendation for extraction time?

I have one of these filters and have been scared to use it on the cold side due to oxidation since my latest NEIPA method has been waiting until post fermentation to rack (due to DHing) and therefore there's no o2 scavenging available. So how exactly are you hooking this up? I like the idea...

I'm curious about this as I use floating dip tubes with silicon tubing and have also noticed it doesn't get clear after a PBW soak (not that any silicon really does). I've also had some issues with my NEIPAs not being up to my standard lately but nothing has changed process-wise so I wonder...

Has anybody who is using the fermonsters like this had cracks in the lids? I've probably gone through 3 or 4 lids due to hairline cracks on the seam around the edge.

Similar to what I just brewed today. First NEIPA in a while and first time using dryhop. Will try the 68/70/76 schedule. I have a fairly large pitch and plan on a minute of pure o2. I do have some nelson in the freezer so could be convinced to change the DH. Maybe sub out galaxy for it?

Wow, definitely difficult to repeat!

Thanks. It lasts. Using the LowOxygen techniques really will do wonders for your head. I actually don't use sulfites for NEIPAs as malt is certainly not the focus but I do use all the rest of the techniques including clear wort throughout, BTB, spunding, etc.

My latest batch. Finally getting the color I've been shooting for

I was afraid you'd say that. I started it at 64 but had to leave for a day and or course it got hot as f today so it rose to 71. What kinds of esters should I expect?

Those that use straight s04 for neipas what temp are you fermenting at?

I've found elevating the fermenter as high as possible is very helpful when doing closed transfers. I put it on top of a bucket which sits on top of a 4 ft table. you could even lay the keg down on it's side if you really want to maximize gravity's contribution.

It will hold some pressure but it's not worth the aggravation when it eventually fails you. When I ferment in my corny kegs I use a rubber stopper thermowell and any more than a couple PSI makes me nervous to due to some past unpleasant experiences
