I forgot to check in with you sooner but how did this turn out for you? I’m going to be brewing it again next week. Looking forward to it.

Hello all. I previously used Oslo in a couple of batches when it was first released. I brewed a pseudo-Pilsner and a pseudo-Vienna Lager. Both came out out great, in my opinion. The “Vienna Lager” actually took a bronze in a local BJCP competition. I recently purchased another pack of it and...

Yes, a typical west coast IPA profile is what I plan to go with. I know Alpine claims that nothing has changed with Nelson since Green Flash bought them out but I completely disagree. While Nelson is still delicious, it has a lot more body and sweetness than what I remember the original having...

I know I’m digging up an older thread but I’m back to revisit this one. I brewed this recipe three years ago as one of my first all grain brews. It was delicious then and I’m looking forward to brewing it again, having a lot more experience under my belt since brewing it the first time. If...

I just opened my pack of Bootleg Aurora to make a starter and it smells phenolic. Good amount of clove. This yeast isn’t supposed to be phenolic. Anyone else experience this?

I’ll be using this yeast for the first time this coming Friday. I’m going to do a slightly hoppy Pilsner with it. I’m going to push the upper end of the recommended temperature range to see how it does. I’ll report back soon.

I have a lifetime subscription to Brewer’s Friend. Love it. Count me in! Thanks!

I completely agree. I have used WLP066 three or four times now and I find it to leave a very boring yeast character as compared to other popular options. At first I thought it was my process but no matter what I've done, it always left the final beer too thin for a NEIPA, in my opinion.

Thanks Jay. I appreciate the help!

Jay, I've been waiting for over a week for a response to multiple private messages regarding a faulty weld on a keg lid w/thermowell that I purchased from you. A response would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok you talked me into it. I'll be monitoring the gravity throughout fermentation. I'll be using WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast for this batch so it's going to ferment quickly. At least in my experience it does. I've brewed this beer enough times that I know where the final gravity will end up...

Thanks for the responses guys. I appreciate the help. I was planning on hooking up a blowoff tube until after high krausen, then remove and start spunding the serving keg. If you have a better recommendation with the timing of that, please let me know. I think what is causing me the most...

Hello all. I've read this entire thread numerous times, purchased parts and built a spunding valve and purchased lids with welded thermowells from Jaybird but yet I'm still hesitating to give this a try for some reason. I'm sure that I'm making this more difficult than it should be. I plan to...

Congratulations!

Count me in. Thanks!

I recently bought two of these from Jay and they are beautiful. Super fast shipping too. Thanks again Jay!

Oh geez, I read it wrong. I saw no bittering hops and my brain translated that as no hops during the boil. I'm slow today.

If you'd brew it again, anything else you'd do differently? Any boil hops? Thanks for sharing the recipe. It looks delicious.

I'm not sure that he'll get your response considering he hasn't been on here since 2015 and the post your responded to was from 2008.
