    versatile multi-purpose yeast strain?

    Nottingham. At lower temp (12 C, 54 F) , makes a lager like. At higher (22 C, 72F) a nearly neutral Ale. Very good floculation and attenuation (80%), for a non diastatic yeast. Perfect for cold season brew. Voss Kveik, in summer, high temp (40 C, 104F) and fast fermentation. Pretty neutral too...

    BIAB Mash Out?

    Faster draining, because the heat lower the wort viscosity. And some extra points.

    Using Cinnamon Tincture

    Test before, and then scale to the keg volume.

    Using hop tea to increase bitterness in a finished beer

    The oils probably will stuck the filter.

    Full volume mash efficiencies?

    Full mash, BIAB, 30 L (6,6 us gal). Usually 6 to 7 kg (13 to 15 lbs). 22 to 23 L (5,8 to 6 us gal) into fermenter. Close to 70% brewhouse efficiency. I squeeze the hell out of the grain bag and use another bag to filter the wort, that goes to the fermenter. It's a good score, but I am...

    Using hop tea to increase bitterness in a finished beer

    Another option. Hop tincture, with high proof alcohol. I use 3-5 g of hop pellets to 50 mL of grain alcohol. 3 hours extraction. Just test it in a sample before, because 2 mL of that in a 600 mL bottle already makes some difference. I usually add at bottling, with a syringe. BTW the ABV goes...

    Recommended bottle cap opener that doesn't damage the cap?

    You aren't the only one... 🤣🤣🤣

    Beers made at higher fermentation temperatures

    Try water/ice bath. It's cheap and usually I got 1 or 2 degrees below room temperature.

    Bittering Hops in 15 Minutes

    Made it four times. And I tell you: works! Half of hops weight for the same IBU. But I found a soapy aftertaste in the beers, that wasn't there when I boil hops within the wort. So I just abandoned it. Hops isn't that expensive.

    4 lbs table sugar in Belgian Tripel -- am I crazy?

    Boil it and Add after high krausen. There's articles suggesting that simple sugars, in the growing phase, while there's still a lot of FAN in the wort, increase production of fusel oils. I was reading this article today, check out the graphics, where the glicose consumption rate are direct...

    Show us your favorite bottle opener

    I'm so sorry about it, but just need to reply. 🤣🤣🤣 No damage to the cap, so is just put it back and drink later. No other opener does it, as far I know. Cheers!

    Clear Yeast

    Mash recirculation. Nottingham yeast. Cold conditioning, before bottling. Maybe gelatin, but just if you're comfortable with it. I don't use, and got some crystal clear beers, without even trying. And patience, usually takes time.

    Second batch tastes too bitter.

    Did you sparge the grains? How about pH? That could be tannins. Just an idea.

    Forgo crystal and use only invert?

    Yes, that's a pretty dangerous thing to do, because it's hot very hot. I just tried to give some ideas. I live in an apartment, and my oven isn't that big. So... We work with what we have. In the fact, think about it, it's just faster.

    Forgo crystal and use only invert?

    Gentle heating to do not burn it. Or it could give some undesirable acrid flavours.

    Forgo crystal and use only invert?

    Easier in a faster way.

    Forgo crystal and use only invert?

    Hey guys, easier way. 1 kg cane sugar, 20 g lemon juice, 500 g water. Pressure cooker 10 min. Release the pressure. Take the lid off. Low heat until reach the colour that you desire. If you want it really dark, keep adding water and heat. Only Pilsener malt and inverted caramel. Cheers!

    Homemade Invert Sugar pH

    Yes, any kind of sugar should work. Just an update, it could be made straight in the pressure cooker, without the mason jar, if you going to use it just after cooled.
