No power in the Verse can stop me

I only run the High Efficiency schedule. I have not tried skipping the 20 min Dough-in at 102.

Yes 90 min mash. Sometimes I bump the mash out to 20min, but I have only done that recently.

I typically run 3.5 gallon batches (60+ so far) and beyond normal loss due to yeast and dry-hopping I haven't noticed the final serving Keg being that off of my expected volume, Occasionally some yeast strains seem to make more sludge, but the biggest loss I find is from massive dry-hopping. But...

Maine Beer Company in FreePort Maine. Treehouse in Monson Mass. and Trillium in Boston or Canton. Not sure if they would count as on the way.

sometimes if I move the fermenter around or when I add dry-hops I'll get some off-gassing that looks like fermentation restarted. also raising the temp will cause some off-gassing. Check the gravity in a few days.

I have no issue beta testing, we asked for change now we are getting change.:tank:

I edited a previous recipe that had a 90 min boil, all I did was change the hop AA%. Before running it today I noticed that every time I edit it it changes the Pre-hop Boil to to 90 min giving the total boil of 150min. I think there a a few bugs to work out with the changes they have been making.

I religiously check the advanced editor and re-sync to the Z before every brew. Early on I made a mistake and had only a 20 min boil.

Damn - 15 min into the boil and The Web page says nothing brewing....:( Lost internet....its not doing anything just asking for wi-fi....I guess I'll need to run the boil when I get home. Powered the Z Off and On and it picked back up where it had died.

Added Search Function for Grains/hops (selecting from the drop down does not always work if it is not at top of list) Water Amendments section has been added (looks still under development) when you select a Grain or Hop that selection gets "locked" and you have to click the red X to remove the...

Testing the new "Delayed Start Function" for the Zymatic. Should be ready to chill when I get home.

I'll dry hop for 7-10 days. I split the dry hop additions for hoppier beers, I'll put in hops 10 days before cold crash and again 5 days from cold crash. I'll cold crash for 24-48 just depends on how busy vs. impatient I am at the time.

Virginia-based Veil Brewing released this year a Oreo beer they used 100LBs of crushed Oreo's...have not tried it yet here is a recent article from Craft beer and brewing Magazine on Oreo beers...

I mail my entries to Philly.

I agree a Saison wold be good. other styles I've had in wine Barrels are Golden ale (but is was a Chardonnay barrel), Belgium triple/Quad go well with red wine, some stouts could work - the only Red wine barrel aged stouts I've had are, Sierra-Nevada's Narwhal, and Stone's Russian Imperial...

Nice. feedback tends to be better at clubs and smaller competitions, but I want to try to make a habit of entering certain ones each year.

yea but sometimes the feedback is good. Last year I entered my Coffee Stout and got a Silver certificate (38) and some feed back. Made some changes and now it's in a barrel. plus I entered a IPAish/Saison in the mixed style category, also got a Silver certificate (36) but it had changed so...

Anyone entering the National Homebrew competition? I was going to enter a barrel aged coffee stout. Debating on Vienna lager Pale ale We'll see how the Red Rye turns out.
