Question twofold: (1) Has anyone tried to dry hop their cold brew coffee? I've read a few articles about a few roasters that have tried it to great success. (2) Has anyone on here made the jump from enthusiast to professional? I'm curious about start up cost, minimum equipment requirements...

Does anyone have experience using the Tilt bluetooth hydrometer? Recommended? Would this work in a commercial setting? My only wonder would be if it can transmit through double jacketed stainless steel tanks.

Thanks ten80! I'll let you know how it turns out

I wonder if substituting hallertau mitterlfruh for the 20 minute hop would change things too directly

Anybody ever try Centennial Blonde with kölsch yeast? Just curious

If I wanted to add crushed grapes and juice from my vines to a beer in the fermenter, how do I avoid infection? Sulfite the must 24 hours before mixing with the wort and then pitch? I was thinking for a barley-wine/wine hybrid I could maybe fermenting the wort to 90% again with ale yeast, cold...

Also, I'm reading that bentonite binds to yeast cells...

What you said makes sense. I just read a suggestion to stir "several times throughout the evening" after bennonite addition. The only concern would be oxidation for the average home brewer with standard carboy. I wonder if you used a "rousing" technique? Essentially, blowing co2 through the...

Pumpkin spice mead, K-meta'd and bennonite'd today. Photos are 20 minutes apart. It's a lovely clay.

What is the benefit of adding bennonite prior or during fermentation? I always add it after full attenuation, usually right when I add potassium metabisulfute (then a week later I either filter or sparkalloid). Is there something I'm missing? Either way, concur with Yooper. I put 1/2 tsp per...

Thanks for the recipe! Making this for Christmas gifts for everyone!

I think I read that using yeast hulls and bentonite after a copper treatment will absorb and drop out all the copper, but don't quote me

Also, if I primary on top of frozen blueberries (mainly for color), should I thaw and sulfite 24 hours before pitching yeast?

I make a pretty good kölsch. Going to do a coffee kölsch next, with 2 oz underground Ethiopian blonde roasted coffee beans added to the secondary. My beautiful, yet #basic wife loves whatever that BMC blueberry lager is. I was thinking of making her a blueberry kölsch. Easier, better esters...

If still fermenting, immediately add diammonium phosphate (DAP). Do not do this if it's almost done fermenting. If done fermenting: A vigorous racking over copper (like copper scrubbing pads) will usually completely dissipate it, but introduces oxygen. If you rack over copper, I'd suggest...

Just a FNG who is in the dream stages of an eventual electric brewery. So... if I'm recirculating wort from my MLT through a coil in the only slightly hotter HLT... how do I sparge? For instance: If my MLT is 152°F and my HLT is, say, 153°F or 154°F, using a constant recirc, where does my...

Vanilla and matcha go extremely well together. Let me know if you make this and how it turns out

I haven't done this either, but it's on the list. I was thinking of adding matcha powder in the primary and then racking on top of some lactose and a vanilla bean and back sweetening with concentrated brewed green tea/honey.

Definitely a 90's ska band
