Rock ‘n’ Roll children- Dio

About a week and a half ago I kegged a west coast Pilsner. After a couple days in the kegerator I burst carbonated it and then relieved the pressure and put it on serving pressure before leaving town for a few days. Initially it tasted amazing. I Bittered with a small charge of magnum and I...

I agree with everyone. It takes a few straightforward batches to get some semblance of a routine, learn your equipment, create your process, learn to use brewing software/ calculator etc. After a few batches you’ll see a trend in actual brewhouse efficiency and be able to dial in your equipment...

I haven’t heard of gelatin reducing foam. I understand it could negatively impact foam related to proteins as it can drop some out of solution. My anecdotal experience with it has not shown this to be the case. The APA I was referring to was not gelatin fined. As much as I appreciate crystal...

An FG hydrometer sample of my pacific pils. Fermented with 34/70 at 66F and it seemed to be done at about the day 3 mark at which point I dry hopped. Let it sit a few more days with a spunding valve and a free temp rise that got up to about 69f and it got up to about 7-8 psi. It tastes amazing...

I appreciate all the responses. I am into quick brewing. Single infusion. I prefer finding the simplest method to achieve my goal. I just kegged a Pacific Pilsner with the same amount (8oz) of chit that I added specifically for head. When this one is chilled and gelatin fined, I’ll know if I’m...

After reading a bit of this thread after it got going, I tried 3.6% or 8oz chit malt in a recent APA and got a mostly headless beer. Fortunately it’s still delicious. Does it take more? I got decent foam from the same amount of Carapils in past batches.

I don’t think grassy would come from any oxidation or O2 exposure. I wonder if you either just pulled an odd sample or maybe it just needs another day or two.

I started my Thirsty Thursday with a Stone delicious IPA. Now going back and forth between my HB Belgian Single and my HB Triple C ale. This is the Belgian. I fermented it on the cool side and it’s not quite as… Belgianie as I prefer, but still delicious. I’ll do it a bit warmer next time. 🍻...

My dad was a huge music lover that didn’t sing or play an instrument. When i was a kid he had an amazing album collection of around 700 albums. My mom was also a music fan that didn’t play or sing. I was raised on primarily rock, but both parents would mix in some Motown and easy listening. Cat...

I’ve been using it lately for all kinds of brewing and non brewing info. Pretty freaking cool. Of course I don’t trust any single source 100% and weigh the input of several sources before making any decisions. That said, my experience with chat so far has been enjoyable.

I’m a little behind. My Triple C Ale 5.5gal “Pacific Pilsner “ 5.25gal 10.75+706.5=717.25

I was at the LHBS on Friday night. They called their hoppy pils a “Pacific Pilsner “ I like it. I may steal it. Anyhow. Mine is currently in the FV. I ended up changing my hopping schedule to… 0.3 oz magnum FW 1oz citra 5 min boil 1.5oz citra 20 min hop stand I have listed 2oz citra for a 3 day...

I am a fan of Mexican lagers and this one hit the mark. I’d give it a 4.5 of 5.

I found this at a local grocery store here in San Diego. Having it as a nightcap after a long, excellent Saturday with the family and in preparation for a chill cooking and brewing day tomorrow.

I did not, it was kind of last minute/ on the fly. If I do it again, I might try the technique I have been using to bottle from a keg. I kept some plastic bottles from my bottling days. They come in handy for a lot of things. I use a carb cap tee (you can use a carb cap with no tee also) with a...

I recently brewed a batch of Belgian single and after filling a keg I could see I had a bit of clear beer still in the FV. I had a few clean, plastic 22oz beer bottles stored and decided to bottle condition the rest. I took two bottles and sanitized them. I also sanitized a clean picnic tap. I...
