    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Curious about this as well. I think a lot of people on here are going to be excited to try this yeast out. My LHBS just got it in stock so I’m going to get some soon. To answer your question though...,I’d suggest emailing omega directly. I’ve emailed them with questions a few times over the...

    Dry hopping temperature

    Here: Post 3.... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/keg-purging-with-active-fermentation.628658/ I like to do 4-5 purges to 30 PSI after closing up the keg, before the fermentation begins. I typically get at least 50 points of fermentation, and have never once noticed any Ill effects of the...

    Dry hopping temperature

    Most people use the CO2 created from fermentation to purge the keg. Put the hops in the keg, close it up, give it a purge or two from your tank if you want to, then run some tubing from your fermenter to the keg, and then some tubing from the keg into a jug of starsan/airlock. The CO2 from the...

    Must have used some crap Galaxy. It’s a thing, and unfortunately it happens.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Same here, that’s why I emailed them back in May to see if I could get an idea when they’d be available. They “might” get some but I’m not too optimistic about it. I’m sure they’ll be available somewhere but I’m so spoiled by YVH...placing my order and having it at my doorstep literally the next...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Got it. It might be worthwhile using it alone...it’s pretty impressive. I emailed YVH hops and asked them when we can expect this years nectaron to be available, and their initial response was June or July. I then followed up and they told me unfortunately they won’t be able to get ANY until...

    Citra or mosaic work well, but they work with everything. Did you just recently get the nectaron? I’m having a hard time finding it available to purchase.

    Totally understand...just joking around a little!

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    This is cool and all, but I’d prob rather have you do an honest review than this dude. He doesn’t strike me as all that knowledge. I feel like the little circle of frequent posters on this thread are probably some of the most informed, and well positioned to provide reviews on these beers...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I’ve made countless “turbid” “milky” looking beers. I’ve come to prefer the slightly hazy beers over them. Just my opinion.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Any thoughts on using whirlfloc, But then still transferring all of the trub into the fermenter? I usually don’t use it, but I have used it a number of times and transferred everything into the FV. It’s interesting because you can see all of the proteins coagulate and drop to the bottom with a...

    AG never finish attenuating

    I don’t know man. I understand your overall point but I’ve used the wyeast beer nutrient for years and never noticed anything negative from it. Perhaps I’ll try a batch or two without it but I’d be shocked if I noticed a difference. I dilute a tiny amount of it in a tiny amount of water, and...

    AG never finish attenuating

    Why do you say yeast nutrient can harm the flavor of the beer? I’ve always used the wyeast nutrient and never noticed any problems, but now you have me curious.

    Anyone know where to get Nectaron hops?

    For anyone interested, I reached back out to see if they had any update. Here is what they replied with: Looks like it’s going to be difficult to get nectaron going forward.

    Other Half Daydream (oat cream IPAs) - all grain clone attempts

    Overall I like it, but I don’t think it’s anything particularly amazing. I know some people say they get really high attenuation with it but I’ve had a crap out on me a few times and finish pretty high. It tends to start off really quick like a rocket but then it slowly putts over the finish...

    Isolated Yeast (Tree House): How to Identify and Characterize?

    I’m picking up at 12:30 so should be back to my area around 2:30 or so. I may stop to grab something to eat but should be back somewhere around 2:30ish. I’m picking up 12 different 4 packs so I could hook you up with 3 four packs...one can of each if you like. Or whatever you want really. Up to...

    Isolated Yeast (Tree House): How to Identify and Characterize?

    Interesting. I’ve never experienced the oxidation issues but I guess it’s a thing. I can totally see how the EQ profile is hit or miss for a lot of people, but that’s kind of what makes it interesting. Like treehouse, they have a truly defining character that most other breweries don’t. This is...

    Isolated Yeast (Tree House): How to Identify and Characterize?

    Well then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you just had some bad luck. It’s obviously possible that they may have had a little bit of a QC control issue at some point, but I’ve never had one can that had any issues. I’m picking up a ton of fresh cans tomorrow and would be happy to send a...
