There’s probably personal preference but I wouldn’t want to go lower than that on bitterness. Even at that it’s not strong. The flavor is citrus and fruity not bitter On the malts it’s a bit hard to tell because there were two new things that affect FG on this brew. This was my first NEIPA...

Yeah that's what I meant. Same on my end. Didn't do anything different then usual. I guess not a big deal

Any idea why I can't get the picture to post? Tried from multiple ways and devices. Have posted many pictures here.

Reporting back. Finally a had chance to investigate the slow pour issue. Pulled the liquid post and noticed something black. The little o ring on the poppet came off and was stuck between the poppet and post. Quick easy fix. Here’s the first real pour. This is my best yet. Lots of...

I think I will add a process step to push a bit of beer into a separate container after this experience. Thanks guys I think I will take off the post and see if that helps and otherwise live with it. Also thanks everyone for the tangent in the thread. I could have posted this in a kegging...

I kegged my latest NEIPA and looking for some advice. Did a closed transfer from the fermenter and the first bit in the transfer line looked like a big glob of krausen, trub, hops idk but not the nice light colored liquid that transferred after that. I have a FDT in the fermenter I draw out...

Nice. Mine came today

The OG is what I enter from a hydrometer reading. The FG is predicted based on recipe. The tilt has always been higher on every batch. There is a means to calibrate it but I never have since I’m not really interested in the exact measurement while in the FV but just using it to see when...

Sorry that was a wordy response - the question is not around temperature. It's the SG. Typically the gravity follows a smooth line something like an exponential decay (actually probably is that), but in this case it followed the normal pattern until around 1.040 and then became very linear and...

Brewed a recent NEIPA and its been in the fermenter almost a week. I use Tilts with all my fermentations and the results of this latest one look a little odd. I thought I'd check in with the forum to get thoughts. I have brewed this basic recipe several times with good results. There were a...

I do already shoot for 6 gallons in the fermenter you get 5 in the keg I hear a lot about BIAB being easier but am an odd one that disagrees. I did brew in a bag for a year before this and at least for me this set up is way easier. I’ll admit I also moved to indoor and electric which is a big...

I believe it's officially a Kettle RIMS systems (my brewing vocabulary isn't always perfect). There are two kettles stacked on top of each other. The top kettle is the mash tun with a false bottom and the Blichmann autoparge arm. The bottom kettle has a heating element. Flow from the top...

Background - I got Blichmann Brew Easy 20x20 over Christmas and brewed my third batch today. This was the first time doing a 5 gallon batch vs 10 gallons. (I will probably mainly do 10 gal but did an NEIPA and wasn't sure I would consume it fast enough to stay fresh). Things worked out ok...

It's been a while since I bought my EvaBarrier lines but isn't it like $0.50 a foot? With the small diameter you need shorter runs. I think mine are around 5 feet so~$2.50 a line. I've considered just giving up on the pain of cleaning lines and just replacing them all yearly instead at that...

Based on the game I assume the first one was way better than the second.

Brewed a blonde ale. Put an American pale ale on tap. Cleaned a couple kicked kegs. Was a good beer day

Welcome !

Just removed more than 10 inches of snow from my driveway for the second time this week. Needed some good warm up fluid

The times I've done this style I have used BRY97 and been very happy with results. This is a bit of an odd style for me in that where I live I don't find many beers I would call "New West Coast IPA" and the couple I have found that feel like they fit the description haven't been very good. So...

I can fill a keg in the time it takes to read this post. I'm kidding this is a good summary. I still think the metric isn't as much time as it is effort or "actively engaged time". If you just start a stopwatch at the moment you begin and shut it off when you have 5 gallons in either bottles...
