Just as these infections started, i got a Jaded Hydra chiller. I've cleaned the chiller really well and put it into the boil 15mins before flameout

Thank you all for the awesome help and support as I battle this infection/bug thing! I think my next move is that I am going to brew 2 concurrent 1 gallon "dumper" batches to identify this issue. 1 batch will be in the robobrew and another on my old propane burner and different kettle. Going to...

Replace all silicon tubing and gaskets. no dice

Def found same nasty crap too after someone gave me the same advice. Its scrubbed and cleaned, but the problem persists.

I keg, but i only kegged the first batch since this whole infection mess started. I have been able to tell within 4 days of fermentation in multiple different kinds of vessels. I suspected it was my fermenter, until i tried 2 others ones with same result. I am slowly eliminating complexity and...

So no, i have not been keeping kettle or fermenter covered during transfer and that is what i am looking to change up next. Tried numerous kinds of yeasts and the last batch was just a 1 gallon batch with dry us-05, with the intention of dumping it as soon as possible if it got infected

Great point, but before the last brew I took apart every single ball valve that I own pbw/boiled/high concentration star sanned them all. No dice :(

My last 6 beers have been dumpers. I'm freakin bummed, but the bushes in my yard seem to be flourishing. A few months back I noticed a weird muddled sour-ish/tart taste in my fermenter sample. The beer was somewhat tart and not the neipa it was supposed to be. I brewed again and the same thing...

Awesome thanks! I'll check out that podcast as well. I'm on a mission to recreate Reciprocal from Bissell Brothers after trying it this summer in Maine. I feel i have the mouthfeel and taste down pretty well, but super lacking in the aroma dept.

I'm following the exact same practice on my current brew after listening to the same podcast. Wondering what would rousing look like in my dry hop corny keg? Should I shake it up, or actually push some co2 through the liquid post?

You're totally on point. As a relatively newer homebrewer, the amount of awesome NEIPA related info I've found through podcasts and online has been amazing. After doing many batches, I am starting to wonder about some of these dogmatic "must dos" though.

This thread has been exactly what I've been searching for. I recently posted on the homebrewing reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/9ytmju/skipping_biotransformation_dry_hop/) about skipping the biotransformation dry hop. I've been listening to various podcasts and interviews...

Thanks for the clarification!

Thats really helpful to know thanks mucho!

Hey folks, first time poster here, but long time scavenger of great advice. I am in the process of doing a little bit of an upgrade to my brew kettle and related equipment. I currently own a 10 gallon brew kettle i bought from Amazon last year and decided to buy a weldless whirlpool arm from...
