Normal misunderstanding about it. More colour means less fermentability. Caramel/crystals malts still have fermentables. Roasted nearly none. See this study, especially the graphics and conclusions. 50% pilsner and 50% roasted, nearly halved the fermentables, if compared to 100% pilsner. 50/50...

Yes, let it be. If the airlock still bubbling I not even do readings anymore. I wait until fermentation slow down. So, probably it's fine.

Open and smell/taste how it is. Might just some kind of weird gas physics occurring.

Hi! Just wait. No problem at all. Many brewers, including me, not even transfer to secondary. Just dump your beer if it has a really bad infection or after conditioning and still have a really bad taste. Otherwise don't give up on your beer!

Nah, the oats are the problem. Never had difficulty with squeezing the bag, first time using oats and I had a hard time. Also it killed the head... Probably never going to brew with it again.

Not a good argument, after all, everything is made with the same ingredients. They only tastes different. And NEIPAs don't taste like beer. So, isn't beer, by some points of view. 😂😂😂

That's the problem! Have you seen the Netflix movie "Druk"? It's all about it. 😂 BTW, you live up there, don't you? How people took it?

... lost. Yes, you're lost. 😂 They're too many variables and it isn't a exactly science. If it's already funky enough, just add some acid and call it a sour. Or drink as it is. Reuse the cake, just to see how things are going to be. Cheers!

Add Acids. I thought of it and search in internet if it's a real thing. Go for Quick (and cheat) souring Now, this is the guy for sour and funky stuff. Themadfermentationist I would brew a saison, mash low, ferment high, late additions of CTZ. And add acid at bottling (or kegging)

That was mean... 😂

NEIPA is equally stranger to the beer culture. The techniques are different from normal beer. Has a short shelf live, must be drunk as soon as possible and some brew heresies in 5 days, or less, grain to glass time. Keg and forced carbonation is mandatory. Also, the flavour profile is very...

Yes, with sweetened tropical fruit juice, because otherwise I can't stand it's bitterness.

How we went from "why do people quit brewing" to "I'm the only one not getting high"? 😂😂😂 Just joking about. It must be quite fun, you can laugh at everyone, while remain sober, and remember that tomorrow. Just enjoy it. And take care of the 3 years old kid next time, surely it's more...

What's an IPA nowdays? If you go to a bar and order an IPA, what will be in your glass? Here, probably an American IPA, with fruit/citrus notes on a caramel background. A local brand had to label their traditional IPA as "English IPA", to avoid confusing customers. In USA, a NEIPA perhaps...

Nearly all of your description matches perfectly within the style. Intense and wonderful fruit aroma. Citrus/fruit taste, more akin a juice than beer. Sweet upfront and bitter aftertaste. One man's trash is another man's treasure. I don't like it too. IMHO, looks like someone throw concentrated...

I would suggest to "keep it simple". I have some friends that used to brew. All of them were using complicated systems at some point. Some started with it, others evolved to it... All-in-ones, plate chillers, kegs, even a pressure fermentor appeared. Having a mini brewery at home is a cool...

I've read a lot about it. I was trying to find the articles, but they seem to fell in the black hole that is "my documents" 😂 Anyway I did that NEM beer and it was a disaster, mainly because the combo of insoluble starches and heat element. The scorch was bad. That day was bad. Because of other...

I bought these hop package recently The 1st (left to right) is 2021, AA 4,3%. The 2nd, 2022, AA 2,6%. And 3rd, the same, but from a different brand. And, WTF!?! I could tell them apart. Visual, 1st was dark green, 2nd light green and 3rd looks drier, brownish comparing to the others. About...

I did a lot of experiments about it. I only found out that there's a reason why some things are done in a certain way. 😂 Hop tea must be hot and it's useful to improve bitterness. Flavours, not that much, and (to me) leaves a "soapy" taste behind, if made with plain water. No matter if it's...

I've noticed this differences in my batches. All WP additions are great at short runs. A couple of months later and the flavour perceptible reduced. Comparing notes with 60 and 15 minutes, from my firsts batches, and seems that they lasted longer. Perhaps isn't just oils that impact flavours. I...
