    What came in the mail for you today?

    Not brewing related, but expecting a 2.25" lift kit with new rear shocks for my WK Jeep.

    Pilsner Appley Taste

    DMS is like cream corn, not apple. What you likely have is acetaldehyde. My guess is either the lager was underpitched, or the yeast was not in great health. https://beerandbrewing.com/off-flavor-of-the-week-acetaldehyde/

    Hop powder, bottom of the bag

    As long as the powder is still green, you will be just fine. If it is brown and smells like aged cheese, it is oxidized and should be discarded.

    Would you brew in the bathroom?

    Why not in the shower?

    Northern Brewer Block Party Amber Ale modifications

    You can always add the dry hops when there is still a small amount of yeast activity. The active yeast will scavenge any oxygen introduced.

    match the posts to the right corny keg and win a prize!

    12 point posts are for Cornelius keg gas inputs. If you have any posts that have the 11/16" hex (the smaller size) those are also for Cornelius. Just be sure to pay attention to the notches in the hex flats as mentioned above. Hopefully this helps you narrow it down a bit more.

    Northern Brewer Support (or lack of)

    NB has not been associated with ABI for about a year now IIRC.

    Imperial Yeast

    I have been incredibly impressed with everything Imperial puts out. Not sure what kind of magic they are using in Portland, but the lag times have always been super short (mere hours to 12 hours at the most), the fermentation very healthy and aggressive, and the overall fermentation times are...

    Lowering the ABV from a recipe

    Something is not right with that recipe. With that grain bill, fermentor volume and brewhouse efficiency, you would likely only get to right around 1.065. To achieve the gravity stated, you would have to be at ~90% brewhouse efficiency. Edit: Upon further review, it appears as if there is 5.5...

    Pipe for scale?

    Northern Brewer Support (or lack of)

    Uh. By that logic, you would think that free shipping would have gone away months ago then... To the best of my knowledge it has only been the case for a handful of weeks now.

    Northern Brewer Support (or lack of)

    NB is my LHBS, and the retail stores have been closed for a while, so I had to resort to ordering online. Yes, before the free shipping was taken down, the prices were a bit higher to compensate for shipping. When I was shopping on the website, the prices all seem to match what I recall paying...

    Anyone have experience with Zappa or HBC-586?

    @tyrub42 absolutely it was. To me it is kind of catty/dank/piney/resinous all at the same time when young, but that tends to dissipate and the fruity characteristics start to stand out more and more with a little age. It certainly is one of the most interesting hops I have ever brewed with, and...

    12v Heating Pad Power Supply Options

    I do a lot of 3d printing, and Mean Well is highly regarded as one of the best brands of power supplies you can use. They are not cheap, but are of very high quality and extremely reliable. This should suit your needs...

    Anyone have experience with Zappa or HBC-586?

    I have brewed with Zappa several times now. On every batch, without exception, the flavor profile is quite aggressive when the beer is young. Give it some time in bottles and drink one a week to see how the flavors morph over time. With a few weeks of age, it will mellow out quite a bit and you...
