I use a 4 cup pyrex measure to hold the pellet hops, then dip it into the swirling wort pouring off a small amount of slurry at a time. With a spoon to get all out. I sanitize everything because I do this at 170*. False bottoms work better with whole cone hops for me.

Maybe, but wlp 833 needs a blow off tube. And S-189 gets almost to the top. This is at 10-12c.

With my bucket I can shine a light tangentially and see if there is a krausen cap or not. If you see the cap just let it ride, if not open and take sample.

I have a 10 gal 3 vessel system that is just too big for 5 gal batches. I went to BIAB 1 vessel or 2 if step mashing. In order to NOT have to change the settings from BIAB to bazooka screen tun I got a bag to fit my 15 gal cooler and just mill at .025. Also conditioning them helps keep the husks...

I'm not a fan of NEIPA, but I would think a powdery Kolsch strain would work.

I love left turns so i'll continue with this. My house yeast is 2565. as I'm writing this my doublebock (1.070) is blowing off after pitching the entire cake from a 1.044 beer. I prefer this style to Miabock, so this is what I serve on May 5th, coincidentally my dads birthday.

Maybe we should be thinking like a yeast cell; lie very still so we can be counted! I've never seen them move even when excreting the dye.

I put in the hops, pump the wort in, add yeast then O2. In less then 21 days with Voss I rack clear beer to keg, Lutra is crystal clear also. I've found Lutra to mute both hops and malt, and because it takes the same amount of time as Notty or BRY-97 I don't use it anymore.

I'd prolly walk a mile for this one, but Wisconsin to New York just might be a little far.

I add the dry hops before pumping the wort into the FV. I ferment with Voss at 76* with a free rise to 86*, it's done on day 5-7 depending on OG. On day 14 I bring it down to 50* or so and give it gentle swirls to drop out the hops. Keg on day 21,tap after 2 weeks in 33* lagerator. I'm ready...

If you used BRY- 97 or Notty you could rack clear beer to kegs in 14 days. I pitch at 64* for 3 days then up to 68* for 4 days(1.040-1.060) then crash slowly to 50* and keg on day 14. I will add that a pipe line is the best way to go. My beers always taste better after 3 weeks primary then 2-3...

Whole bean, soak both in a neutral spirit, I use a small muslin bag, strain out liquid and save for packaging. Add nibs and beans to keg if you can, if not just put them in primary. Taste after a week or so, kegs make it easy to do. The longer it soaks the more bitter it may get, that's what the...

My local pizza place makes one on St Paddys day, they put caraway seeds in the dough,use a beshamel for the sauce and drizzle the dressing when it comes out. Effen, Delicious!

My SOP no matter the strain is to do a stepped fermentation .Start on the lowest temp for 3 days. This way your flavor profile is set. Take to mid range for 3-4 days, then to top temp for 3-4 days. I then begin a very slow crash to around 50* for a total of 21 days in primary, anything over...

I try to have one on tap at all times, so brewed often. I've found that BRY-97 and Notty at 64* are clean fast and furious. I rack clear beer to keg in 14 days if needed. I like to let the beer in primary for 3 weeks or so. Ready to drink in 4 weeks, perfect at 6 weeks.

I whirlpool for 10 min after flame out, then chill to 68*. After sitting for 1-4 hrs I pump it into the FV. The trub that was in the lines, pump and CFC gose into the FV but I shut the valve when the wort starts to get cloudy. My batches are set to leave 1 or so gallons of junk behind, which I...

With a lite hand on the adjuncts and a hefty amount of Munich malt I get a dubbel flavor with a quad hammer. Barrel aged and a max of 13%, it's a dubbel quad.

The hierarchy is what drives the name. It's a dubbel flavor wise with a quad abv. I shoot for 1.100-1.120 OG. the yeast is The Yeast Bay Belgian Dry liquid. This yeast is diastaticus and very controllable in flavor and attenuation. It also produces a ton of glycerin, so even thou they finish at...

As for the time delay you mention, my meter flashes the reading until it is done. Takes about 10 seconds at most.
