+ 5 gal Dunkelweizen = 3491

I’d estimate 6–10 for 5 lbs. (20 to 30)*5/15)

One issue I’ve seen with my Tilt (which I love) is getting a biased low gravity after high krausen. I figured out that it was shmutz on top off the float, essentially weighing it down. Swirling the fermenter to spin down the traub in the conical cleaned it up and the gravity increased a couple...

2674 + 5 gal Belgian Bathwater (tropical hoppy dubbel) = 2679

You know you’re a homebrewer (with too many friends) when it takes a case of beer to brew two cases of beer.

Looks like someone’s making Old Bay Gose in the future ;-)

+ 5 gal Chieftain Irish Pale Ale clone. Chieftan Ipa | Franciscan Well = 2370

Thanks for sharing that website- very rich info site! I found that he also likes the 50 C autolysis recipe, too, and cites reasons. https://suigenerisbrewing.com/index.php/2022/06/16/are-dead-yeasts-yeast-nutrient/ Based on the plots in the Tanguler paper that plateau after eight hrs, with no...

I started using low sugar/high FAN starters a while back and have had good results so far. Those starters definitely wake up faster. I have also been playing with making yeast extract for FAN. Yeast will undergo autolysis at 50 C (122 F) and pH 5-ish*. The first batch I overcooked/boiled...

With a few of the breweries here in NorCal offering a dozen or more beers, I like to get a flight of the lighter styles, take a quick break, and catch a connecting flight into the dark. 😆 Frequent flier miles anyone?

I love 3522 and have had great luck with it. Temperature and pitch rate have a big effect on the character. I get very fruity esters from either pitching low, e.g., less than 1 pkg for 5 gal > 1.055, or warmer temps, up to 72-74 F. Colder temps ~ 62-65 F give me spicier notes. Though, not...

+ 5 gal. Nelson Pacific Pale Ale = 742

Another really good commercial variety is Flying Dog Raging Bitch. https://www.flyingdog.com/beers/raging-bitch/

+ 5 gal. Belgian IPA = 203.1

I wish this thread would play as a radio station. It’s much more interesting than anything happening on FM here. :rock:

I’m bumping this thread this season ahead of Black Fri/cyber Mon. sales. I’m looking for ideas for a HB club white elephant exchange. The price target is $25, a bit higher than last year. Last year I got an inkbird thermometer. Nice brew assortments were popular, too. Gift cards were...

Checking in… + 5.5 gal Belgian Dubbel + 3.5 gal Ginger Punch + 5.5 gal Wee Heavy ____________________ = 4578.5 gal

This feels like adding margin notes on the Dead Sea Scrolls…but it’s an interesting topic. The seventies might have been the last time I saw Lowenbrau Dark. I remember trying Guinness Extra Stout in the bottle back then and being repulsed. There was also some Malt Liquor brand that was...
