grain weevils....... curse them.... curse them big time. LHBS has a great selection, but i always have to freeze - cali weather just lets them hatch and spread like the plague.

you can bend your dip tube to the sidewall - no need to actually shorten them - that was i do for mine - pours 1-2 pint with scooby snacks in the bottom and then clear

there are 70 ships here in the port of long beach waiting to be unloaded not to mention the lack of materials and chronic shutdowns in Asia. Not surprised things are creeping up

Also adventures in home brewing sells loose handled ball lock kegs for $29 plug shipping. Ive bent all of my dip tubes up to the sidewall, pours only 1 or 2 yeasty pints and then clear. Only thing that is a drag is shipping ends up costing 1 keg - i think for just under $100 i get 3 shipped to...

pressure fermentation suppresses yeast from producing esters desirable in some styles - a cleaner fermentation. try using only 1-2 psi

Sources? Alot if not most sources do cite maillard reaction as occuring with a longer boil. Concentration is an affect of boil off. Most brewers account for boil off rates and will start with a certain amount of liquid prior to boil to achieve a specific amount going into the fermentor.

WLP1983 - Charlies Fist Pump AKA Cry Havoc For Ales:When fermented at ale temperatures the yeast produces fruity esters reminiscent of berries and apples. Hop character comes through well with hop accented beers. Diacetyl production will be very low when proper fermentation techniques are...

Yep, agreed but OP just said a beer! 🤣

If scientists can propagate yeast from pottery scraps from BC, yeah I would agree with yeast being hardy - my concern would be if wild yeast were to contaminate wort, old yeast may not be fast/vital enough to out compete. Now when i get low in the jar - i build up a starter, and decant...

other reason for 90 min boil is to enhance the maillard reaction which darkens the wort - i believe 90 min boil will also enhance some caramel favors but this is anecdotal

I own the beer fridge so i occupy the untouchable self (: - i think im at 14 jars all neatly lined up yes suppose you can say 1 TBS for a 4g batch - leave headspace in my kegs - serve and ferment in same keg I estimate the bottom of the jar for WLP001and Voss K are turning 4 in January. at...

Yep - I store in Jelly Jars as well. Enough jars I get those looks from the wife when she gets beer out of the fridge.... My oldest - WLP001 and Voss K are several years old now. I do not use starters - 1 sanitized spoonful and were off to the races within 24hours. I do make starters to...
