I'm using a hop canister for the first time for dry hopping. Can just wash and repitch.

Have a batch 1/2 way through fermentation now w/ A24. So far, the smell out of the fermentor isn't as peachy/mango sweet as 1318. It seems more like candied orange. I know that means very little at this point, but just found it interesting as a comparison.

Looks nice! So is that 15oz of hops in a 5 gal batch? Did you use a spider in the whirlpool or a bag for the dry hops? And are you by chance keeping tabs on your PH? I'm curious to hear about mash and pre/post boil as it relates to the perceived "juiciness" and aroma. I assume that's what you...

Okay, think I’ll pull a last min swap and give it a go this weekend. Although I really like 1318, I’ve been looking for ways to pull out some of the orange flavors more, so this might be exactly what I’ve been searching for. What fermentation schedule do you find works best with it?

Wow, so simple! Any maltodextrin or sugar added? And how do you like the A24 vs the 1318?

Sorry to dig up an old post, but would you mind sharing your recipe on this one? I know it's in the sun and all, but the color and body on this looks perfect! Aside from the large % flaked barley you used, I'm curious to hear what else went into it!

We only used .5# lactose in 5 gal and felt like it worked really nicely. I imagine it depends on how low your PH goes to get that balance. Ours had a nice soft lemon meringue vibe. Here's the write up if you're interested: https://www.instagram.com/p/BtznQwrFKXB/

Although I agree with you, once the cannular came stateside, our little beer group went ahead and pulled the trigger. It was easier for us to justify the cost when we spread it out. We found the convenience really outweighs the added $0.42 per can cost. And since we were coming from 32oz...

I feel like I don't understand the need though. You just don't have the same foaming issues with cans as you do with bottles due to the bottleneck shape vs a wide opening. I was using a couple of cheap bottling wands pretty effectively, one for co2 and the other for filling. I recently moved to...

Okaaaay, but how do you seal the can though? And even with the counter pressure piece, the trick would be, being able to apply enough pressure to seal it enough based on the back pressure without squishing an empty aluminum can.

Regular 16oz cans are too short. You'd need to adjust the bottom chuck in oder for them to reach the top rollers.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but the difference is the hight and volume. 500ml is 16.9oz.

What size grog tags are those? Was about to order the landscape volo‘s

Although it comes set up to use fresh cans, the bottom chuck is vertically adjustable. So long as the width of the can is the same, you are free to adjust height, as well as the rollers. As for can prices, my last box of 207 cans I got from morebeer for $85 with free shipping, or 0.42 a can...

I was sitting with him a few weeks back talking to him about the Whip and he was dropping some good hints, but I didn't get the full recipe from him. I felt sheepish asking too much. Will try and swing through at a slow time over the next few weeks and see if he's around. He's def a super nice...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but was planning a clone myself. They just announced they’re closing, so wanted to try and keep this delicious beer going somehow. Maybe Bill Madden will see this one day and chime in with some hints. Ringwood yeast? I know many of his beers will be missed, but...

How would you describe the characteristics at that temp?

So glad I found this thread! I'm getting ready to brew a big malty IPA with big citrus charges late and in whirlpool. I've read that ringwood can throw some nice juicy citrus, but does anyone have a temp recommendation to achieve this w/o producing the off flavors? I was planning on starting at...

Got this in last week and canned up a case. Overall, it worked flawlessly out of the box, seems to be solidly built and was super easy to use. Time will tell though. Process took some getting used to, as seen with all, “how to” canning vids. Took about 6 times to get the hang of the motions...

Yikes! Maybe get with a LHB store and see if they can help in getting more reasonable shipping. That's nuts.
