Kegged it on Friday and it’s about 1/2 carbed now. Definitely more tropical than citrus, hints of piney woodsiness, overall a pretty well rounded hop that has no problem being featured on its own.

3 days. I give it 6 or 7, keg, and a few days after it’s delicious

That’s a hunting cabin. You’re paying to hunt on your own land and have a group of people there every weekend during hunting season. There’s likely a well outside and “showers” consist of dousing yourself with ice cold water.

You still need CO2 to serve it. ~10psi should be good. You’ll also want to purge the tank after swapping tops. Put the tap on, turn on the gas, then lift the release a few times to help get rid of any O2

I just brewed a gallon of a peated malt smash beer. Saaz at 60 and 5, but otherwise my house smells like smoke. I’m pumped to try it in a few weeks. Used repitched lutra for the yeast

I repitched some lutra at ~95F one time and it came on so fast that it was coming out the top before I got the blowoff tube put on. Under 30 seconds.

I was drinking the beer w/in 1/2 hour. I did it because I was really impatient to drink it at the time. For natural carbonation I just put the priming sugar in (~2 Tbsp of white sugar) and fill directly from the hose. No need for a bottle filler. I cap with the hex just because it's easier...

When this happens I use a bit of Bar Keepers Friend and it comes right off. Just be sure to give it a really good rinse after.

I have this exact mini-keg and have done the high pressure + shaking method. It works, but it's pretty hard to control and it's easy to overcarbonate. That said, I was able to successfully force carb it by cold crashing the keg in a freezer for a few hours, pumped the pressure to about 30psi...

Voss should ferment quickly, can definitely keg it up next week. Definitely interested in your notes vs mine. Mine was 11 lbs Pilsner, 2 lbs Munich, and 1/2 pound each of carapils, crystal 40, and melanoidin. 20g @ 60, 35 @ 15,10, 5, 0, and 85 @ whirlpool. Yeast was S04. Will keg it up this...

I brewed a batch last Tuesday that I’ll keg next weekend. APA recipe that usually calls for citra, so swapped out 1/2 pound of these instead. Hop smell was pretty dank, with a combination of woodsy and citrus notes. While fermenting it was straight citrus. It’s basically just cleaning itself...

I treat and heat up the full water to strike temp and then take the sparge water out before adding grains

I mean, this is the solution. Stop having online sales if they can’t keep up with them, be honest with your customers about accurate shipping times, and in a short time you’ll be caught up and can remove the banner. That would give them a much better reputation than the current process. As it...

The only issue I have is that at checkout it says it'll be here in 3 days. A week later there's nothing, a week after that you get your coupon, then at some point it actually ships. That's a super frustrating process and feels like a very underhanded sales technique. I don't think it's asking...

Pretty much everywhere! Family gatherings, softball tournaments, music festivals, golfing, and friend's houses

Made myself a Munich Dunkel a few weeks ago, munich and a touch of cara II for color. It's a good beer, but a little out of style as it has more roasty notes than I'd like. I know if I give it some time those will die off though, it's less and less roasty as time passes. Still, a very easy...

How many ingredients do you need to make a spaghetti sauce? Tomatoes and butter simmered for an hour with a little salt and peppers tastes great, why put anything else in it? I think it's good to think about the ingredients you put into your recipe, as you should with any sort of cooking. I...

I got some really good advice when I asked some homebrewers why I couldn't get the smell out of my glass carboys. No issues, just smelled like beer after a dozen brews, even after thorough cleaning and sanitizing. Stop smelling your carboy.

It helps remove chill haze and generally just clears faster and arguably better. There are tons of threads on the topic. To the OP: I really think the issue is that the beer is significantly greener than you're used to. You're drinking after a few days of conditioning vs over a month when you...

Does it clear up with time? My keg experience is similar, but if I give it a week it calms down significantly.
