How high can you go with dry hops you think without it becoming grassy or vegetal? Or just do a crap load of dry hops for only a day or two?

Awesome stuff.

What was the previous recipe vs your new recipe? I believe they use a Chico strain. Do you feel that's correct? I just bottled a rendition of this as an IPA with a slightly different dry hop though. I also used 1318.

How'd this turnout?

I also went crazy high on flaked oats (well minute oatmeal). Used 17% for grain bill. I'm hoping this will help with mouthfeel and keep it creamy. To answer your question I believe most just think it's a toss up between Conan or 1318. Maybe some leaning more towards Conan. There was a...

I just bottled a beer using 1318 and got 83% attenuation. However, I realized I did highly overpitched. I'm sure that effected the attenuation some. Finished at 1.010. Worried how much it will effect the mouthfeel. We'll see in a couple of weeks.

So I got a beer going now with 1318. I know you said you don't have any or no experience with 1318, but with it being a top cropping yeast it has a huge krausen that I guess barely falls. You think it's ok to throw the dry hops in on top of that? I'd like to do it before fermentation is done...

Are flaked wheat and oats fermentables? Do they add to the gravity?

So you only did a hop stand and you got that much bitterness at 150*?! No other bittering hops?

Well that's good to hear then! What are you making with1318?

I might give it a go just to see. I'm not too worried about the FG. I'm actually just going to do a pale ale with the grain and hops and use 1318. It'll be my first time trying the yeast. I believe I read somewhere that someone thought Conan and 1318 didn't go as well with hops that aren't...

Brau - how well do you think 1318 would go with a Maine Beer Dinner clone. Recipe here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=541499

How do you think this would be with 1318 yeast?

I was in Bloomington, IL (about 30 minutes west of Champaign) a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to see Pipeworks and Half Acre at a Binnys there. Never hurts to ask him to look. Three Floyds no chance I bet.

Thanks, LJvermonster! I will say I didn't get much dank from the Citra which is a little upsetting. In commercial beers I get some dank quality from Citra. There is lots of hops flavor though!

Didn't have the preferred yeast or all of the ideal grain but digging the flavor and color on this one. 2.25 gallon batch. 93% 2 Row 7% Oats 1 oz Citra FO, 1.5 oz Citra WP, 2 oz Citra DH, 1 oz Amarillo DH. Small bittering charge with Columbus. US 05

We're off topic, but I've had some bottles get murky brown and believe it to be oxidation. Had a brewer taste one and he said it tasted and smelled like cheese which is isovaleric acid from oxidized hops or hops oils. All hops smelled fine before using and are stored in a freezer so I'm...

So there may be hope, but not much? I look forward to your tale and hope it helps my poor fridge. Thanks.

Will you come look at my fridge for free beer? Probably a stupid question but where is and what does the compressor look like?

Busy day at work so I haven't been able to reply... Living in the southern part of SC we do get some days down near freezing but I would think being in a garage it would still be somewhat protected from the elements and not get below freezing. i.e. a car parked in a garage never gets frost. I'm...
