@Braufessor Thanks for posting this! It looks really great! I’ve been absolutely loving 1318, want to use it in everything! Out of curiosity, what other yeasts do you think might go well with it? I was looking to branch out a bit while still going for the fruity esters. Also, what type of...

Out of curiosity, at what point during the mash does everyone choose to pull samples for PH? I've been using the multi-step more and more for larger batches, but my readings have been all over the map. Wasn't sure if it was due to my meter or the temps and multi-step process. Would love any input!

@Braufessor I saw you have a citra pilsner kegged/serving in your sig. I was looking for a recipe in a similar style. In fact, this NEIPA recipe is what made me think of trying to combine it into a lighter cleaner Pilsner. How'd your citra Pilsner turn out? Have a recipe handy?

@stonebrewer yep, after reaching out to them, a few back and forth questions and sharing some pics, they're sending me a new arm assembly. :/ After removing the top, looked like I had a pretty good leak going with substantial build up happening. How difficult was it to replace the arm?

Over my last brew day (a few days back), I got several, "stepper arm error" messages pop up. As it happened, it offered a "continue" option on the panel, which I selected. It spun the arm around a few times and eventually back and positioned where it needed to be. And the brew continued...

Thanks so much! Always great to see how others have had success. Was just listening to the old podcast again, and at the very end, Tasty says he had 110 cl and 350 SO4, which is his standard! In doing some digging, it turns out that’s what he does for all of his ales and lagers! That SO4 sounds...

Was getting ready to brew this, but aside from the 125 calcium level described in the podcast, cannot find the other water levels or ph anywhere? Does anyone have that? On the podcast them mentioned searching the forums, but couldn’t find it!

Hi Guys, Just brewed my 3rd batch of the Yeit (grain) and seem to have some serious astringency issues right out of the gates. I don't believe it's an infection since it was bitter as hell as soon as it was done boiling. Also, although S05 seemed to kick off well, it seemed to stall out after...

I just have a simple one I picked up from the Harris Teeter or Home Depot, can't recall. But this one looks like it might do the trick for you! Might pick one up myself! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016AJJV68/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

My routine has been pretty painless, although does involve SOME scrubbing. I typically do an initial hot water rinse with about 1/3 filled with piping hot water and swirl to get the gunk off the bottom. I then use a wet long necked curved scrub brush to get the top of the keg where the krausen...

AH okay, I feel like i've noticed build up before and had tried cleaning.....will take a closer look. Thanks for the heads up.

What do you mean? What should we be looking out for? Have a pic? I always have thick caramelized wort on the lid after I brew. That bad?

Keep us posted on how these turn out! Both sound delicious!

Was thinking about adding some turbinado. Do you add at the end of the boil? I'm trying to get a sweeter and juicier finish, rather than pithy grapefruit. Would love to hear more about your process in trying to gett it closer to a Juliius clone.

How'd the cryo's work out for you in the dry hop? I have some on deck and curious to hear about your process and how it all worked out flavor wise too!

Nah, the hardware is pretty much good to go as is. Only mod's I've made is related to fermenting and serving in/out of kegs. So my custom mod's included things like a hommade immersion chiller, a custom bubbler post attachment, dry hop cage/clips and strings to the down post, a carb stone, but...

I noticed this guy uses two "O" rings between his filter and his lid. I might try this next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XecvLVWD90

The manual clearly depicts them all facing left in the pics and was just worried once I saw her video mention to, "make sure to face right". My concern is, that it hinders the correct amount of water flowing in one direction over the other and doesn't allow for proper adjunct saturation.

Random question, but which direction do you face the tabs on your hop cages? I had always been facing the to the left, but I randomly came across a "how to" video Annie posted where she clearly states, "place the tab to the right"!? See 3:12: https://www.picobrew.com/About/Videos_Zymatic.cshtml

Along similar lines, what are you guys finding works best for you to chill prior to pitch? I start with adding the keg to a 5gal bucket in my sink with ice packs and running water. Typically drops down to 68 in about 45mins or less. Has anyone tried the Jaded cornypillar? Was thinking of...
