thats pretty much my experience. they are sensitive to oxygen just like hops, so no matter what you do they will fall off a bit over time just because nobody has 100% pure co2. but in general, they're pretty stable. add some k meta or ascorbic acid at kegging and it'll help knock down the...

so pitch some chico or other high attenuator with neutral profile in today. best of both worlds.

the ones from aliexpress or amazon?

you heard it here first- electrolyte IPA™

you're no fun Nate any recommendation for a battery that would NOT turn my beer into "electrolyte IPA"???

thank you sir.

@KegLand not sure i saw this info anywhere but is there is temperature limit on the pill? your marketing info says the plastics used are okay for "high temperature" but doesnt specifically say what a limit would be. would mash temps be ok for the unit? say 150-170F ?

i'm with @IslandLizard on this one. looks like there are holes for set screws to lock the cylinder in place. you could try and punch through on the brass to make a through-hole and then use tiny nut+bolts to hold it. maybe with some jb weld for extra grip. but i wouldnt use just a...

i totally agree they are great technical brewers, you're right in the technical aspect, i couldnt match their character exactly even if i had their recipe and ingredients given to me to copy. not possible on homebrew scale. but lets look at the "big picture" here....... these are really "two...

yeah, the only place i've seen a real "japanese" yeast is in the yeast bank over in UK. now here's the kicker- it was banked in 1955. but i'd wager that by that point the yeast had definitely veered off into its own character vs the german parent strains that the industry was built on. i...

feel like i've seen those on amazon. for some reason in the automotive category....

you buy any yet?

i love a crisp clean japanese lager. even prefer them to mexican lagers alot of the time. in any case, i've tried other folks' attempts at japanese lager. and frankly, they mostly remind me of budweiser. bit of rice flavor, but doesnt really remind me of japanese beers. so just adding...

bootleg biology is releasing this yeast for Spring 2023. just got email blast. for those of you waiting on seasonal releases or the White labs vault production now is your chance to order a pitch, grow it up and save it for later. Andechs German Lager (AGL) *BETA*

sanitizer. unless i'm dealing with something that has brett/lacto or that i know sat out for a while when it was dirty i dont bother. hot water and pbw is as far as i go. other than the aforementioned brett/lacto beer i cant even remember the last time i sanitized a keg or fermenter. i...

I’ve been in contact with them regarding the alerts that you’re supposed to be able to get via wifi or mobile. They wanted Me to update and then try the alerts again. So I’d assume there’s a bit of work done in that area, the communication with rapt portal, but beyond that I have no idea.

FYI_ new firmware is out, was completed 3/10 per the file name but my unit didnt pull it off the web when i brewed last week. update your gear folks

again. you got me twice. what i should have said is "DIY/off-the-shelf" as i thought i was implying its something most folks already have at home, vinegar+bleach. and yes, like @MaxStout i also use iodine, so that's an option. although since OP refers to glassware in my mind that means...

yes, we clearly had different experiences. no facility out here (sf bay area, 3 counties) ever got the ok to use bleach on any food contact surface. that's local inspectors, who do bars/restaurants/delis/markets/etc as well as the two state inspectors i dealt with who handled production...

then by all means, please explain what the point is of your statement. you clearly seem to be implying that if "X" happened/was true/existed then the govt would have "rewritten" their guidelines. so what exactly is the "X" that you are referring to here?
