I just brewed this beer with a pound of honey at flameout and a pound of honey malt. It doesn’t taste anything like honey to me. But it’s good it was an American wheat ale I used 6 pounds wheat 6 pounds 6 pounds 2 row 1 pound honey malt one pound honey and lemon zest. I was shooting for a honey...

Thanks! Never used it before so I was kinda shocked.

Thanks guys! Do you all do anything to get the yeast to drop from the top or just wait it out?

Has anyone ever had a crazy fast fermentation with juice? After about 36 hours I went from 1.065 to 1.016. I used a starter and pitched at 70 after it took of I dropped it to 68. That’s 74% attenuation which is good for that yeast just crazy fast. Any experiences with this out there? It’s my...

Has anybody ever had a crazy fast fermentation with this yeast? I brewed Tuesday morning finished around 2 the fermentation took off by five sanatizer was blowing out of my 1 gallon jug. It slowed significantly last night so I put a regular air lock on it. I just did a gravity reading and it...

That’s not a problem at all it’s the same thing as letting it sit in the fermenter. One thing I’ve learned is that a lot of the worry isn’t needed. The only bad brew I ever had was my very first time when temp control got way to high. With time you figure out what works for you and the stress...

Thanks!

So you use this style yeast with beers other than NEIPA?

Has anyone ever used this yeast in a pale ale?

I’ve do like the unit I’ve done about 10 brews. I have had the issue with the pipe getting clogged. I’m pretty convinced my issue is crush size at this point.

The kegs have a pressure rating of 130psi so there really is no issue at all with 30. While I’m rolling it I keep it hooked up then disconnect it when I put it in the freezer. It’s not an exact science but it’s never failed me just be sure it’s at at least 30.

Has anyone ever used imperial juice yeast in a pale ale or use it as a house strain. I’m loving it in my NEIPA and was curious about this since next brew day is a pale ale.

I have the one with the recirculating pump. I can tell my grain is milled way finer than yours through the picture. Thanks for your help. One last question what do you find your boil off rate to be? Mine seems to be about 1/2 gallon per hour.

I have been using a bag and do the same thing. But it really just doesn’t drain and I can’t seem to get my efficiency above 68%. So I’m thinking it must be the crush size at least hoping that will fix the problem.

I’m thinking my issues might just come down to milling way to fine. I considered the system to basically be the same as BIAB and took the advice to mill around .30. Next brew day I’m going to set it around .4 and hope I get better results. Thanks

Okay I think that must be my problem. Have you ever found the need to use a grain bag due to some of the grain getting through?

Really, every brew I do it’s insanely slow. How fine do you kill your grains?

How long does it takes you guys to drain and sparge mine drains extremely slow I’m wondering if something is wrong.

I know this post is super old but I use the mash and boil and have a question. Does anyone else have an issue with the draining taking an extremely long time. I brewed today and let it drip and sparged for almost 90 minutes. I also use a brewbag so as time went on I started messing with the bag...

Brun water has a ton going on. I like EZ water the best out of brun ez water and brewers friend. I am also not the most experienced but I would not stress too much. I used to always just use bottled spring water with no adjustments and never had a bad brew. Now I use my well water cut with...
