I've not had time to brew this weekend as I planned. I still may be weeks away so sorry, I have nothing to report.

Thanks for its a no go for me no matter what I try to purchase. I even tried Lionbrewingsolutions and it didn't work.

I also dry hop my Hornindal in the low to mid 60's. I can't quite describe it but dry hopping in the 80's never gave me what I wanted and it took longer for the beers to be enjoyable to me and others who tried them. So, now, it's 60's and below.

I'm in!

That looks like a good recipe to me! I just used a bunch of Azacca with Bru-1 and HBC-586 but Azacca was prominent. I never seem to get much out of that hop and often wondered if it would do better with a yeast like POG.

Anyone care to share their opinions on the A37 POG yeast? Grabbed a pack just because it sounds good and will probably make a big pale ale with it. I see it likes lots more aeration and I assume, extra nutrient as well. I've only use Hornindal (with great results) and thought I would try this...

I make starters but I swear, I can't tell the difference in 6 beers I've used Hornindal in from using an underpitch or a normal amount. I can say that I added about 3 times the normal amount of yeast nutrient because I've read it so many times. It's even more important I'm told if you're...

Maybe my statement about it tasting like 3 or 4 different beers was not explained well and that's my bad. Basically, I'm not talking about a completely different beer but slight iterations of the same beer. Just much more so than other yeasts I normally use. Every beer I keg has it's changes...

Search HBT for Men in Black and you can simply switch the Centennial with Chinook with great joy!

The YVH site says to use 70% of your normal rate when using LupoMax. I hope to be getting time to brew with them in the next 2-3 weeks but hope to continue hearing good things about it here. Please post back with your critique when you can.

Do anyone else ever notice just how much beers using Hornindal (and maybe other Kveik strains too) change the taste of the beer every week or so? I keg but each of the 5 beers I've used Hornindal in have had some pretty noticeable (for the better) changes as they aged in the keg. Usually about...

I've used Strata 5 times over the last 2 years, playing with hop pairing. Most were late additions, whirlpool or dry hop only. I really enjoyed each beer they were in and all were different. I simply guessed at what hops would pair well and both Denali and Idaho 7 were very good with Stata.

Got the brew done Sunday but my temperature probe on my E system is going bad and I think I mashed at 158. It's all good. I had activity in 45 minutes at 87 degrees. It got to 92 and the next day, it stopped at 1.020 (with an OG of 1.060). I doubt it's the yeast. I had nutrient and lots of...

I had a pack of 091 Hornindal that was dated Oct. 18, 2019. Made a 2 liter starter and while it usually pops right away, it took 16 hours to show activity but then in another 4, it was almost done. I put it in the fridge overnight and brewed today. Chilled to 86 and then added the starter and...

I ordered Citra and Mosaic but don't plan to use them just yet. I have some recipes I want to get done first that friends have asked for but I hope to get to them in a few weeks. The little I've read and heard on podcasts so far, it seems promising.

My last one was fermenter at 95-98 and I got more mango and rotted fruit (but in a good way). I'm going to go for the mid 80's this time as well. I'm also going to chill it down to the 50's when done to dry hop and not do any dry hopping at high temps. I'm not sure some of the hops are best...

Thanks, that's the plan. Where outside of NOLA are you? Metairie here.

I've got some old Hornindal from October 2019 and plan on making a starter for a brew this weekend. I've already read where underpitching is best but each time I've used this yeast (fresh), I've always made a small starter and pitched at normal ale amounts. I've no doubt this yeast survives a...

I could use one of these!

I love listening to the Brulosophy podcasts and reading about their 'tests'. They do things I'd like to do if I had the time and money. I see no harm in them mentioning the hardware they use and their soft ads. Sure, it may not be for everyone but obviously a number of people like it or it...
