Anybody know if this product is available in the homebrew size/scale yet?

Checking in: Gotta say that Belgian yeast + Loral = awesome. Just tapped my last batch of Loral hopped/Ardennes-fermented beer today (brewed 6/15, keg conditioned starting 6/24) and I’m pleased. Great combo. Comparing to my last batch which was fermented with wlp568, both are crisp and dry as...

Yes sir! It works well, just need to make sure you give the hops/yeast enough time to precipitate before transferring.

Ok. I'm a few weeks post bottle carbonating with CBC1 with a primary-fermented saison with wy3522 (Achouffe strain, cake from a previous batch ~500B). Great combo with this yeast/hops. I’m getting a subtle grape/wine/gooseberry, which melds well with the yeast-driven flavors/aromas. This is...

Cheers! Hey also check out the informative write up by the Brulosophy gents ;) http://brulosophy.com/2018/08/23/clear-beer-draught-system-product-review/

Hi HairyHop, I ferment in kegs and had tried the 300 micron dip tube sleeve approach. I had some similar issues to you with poor transferability. My hypothesis was two-fold and not a dip tube length issue 1) needed to crash longer to settle more particulates, 2) I was spunding @ 5-8 psi during...

Just got the email for Motueka, etc. and the 2018 NS is sold out already @ YVH!

Thanks couchsending. I’ve tried NS from BSG and Nikobrew and those batches were rough. Could have been the year/lot that was not great - also could have been improper usage, yeast-hop interaction or operator error ;) This round though was great and I went with only hot-side additions...

I can confirm that Nelson 2017 batch from YVH is in great shape. I did a saison with wy3522 (Achouffe strain, cake from a previous batch ~500B) and detect no diesel/oxidized hop notes that I noted with a few other vendors. I’ve got some NS from Morebeer and I’ll post here when I use them. Great...

That sounds tasty - looking forward to your tasting notes about the Loral/H-Blanc combo!

Post resurrection. Subscribed. I’ve been on a similar kick to you and typically do smash 5gallon batches with Stone Path Pilsner and a fermentation schedule that starts at 64 and ramps to 74-76F. I bottle condition to 4.5 volumes. I was psyched to see this combo - I’m a huge fan of the...

Hi Kevink, There is a nice summary of spots people have ordered NS hops from in the past on “Nelson Sauvin hops anywhere?” HBT thread. I just picked some up from MoreBeer.com this past Friday. Not Year was listed but since they sell out so fast everywhere I’d assume they were 2018 crop... happy...

I added myself to the YVH Nelson email list - I’ll ping here again if I see something show up. Bummer about HopsDirect - I know a bunch of folks who watch that site closely... So maybe they sold out super quickly and you were unlucky. I think they were having fun selling hops fast, not having...

Farmhouse is great also and the recently switched their hop packaging to Mylar - I’ve been able to score 1/2 Lb-ers of cryo hops. Super pleased with the quality from that hop shop for US-grown, I’ll check out some of their southern-hemi soon. Thanks for the tip ;)

I may have bought the remainder of their 2017 supply (sorry!). Since they have 2018 crop galaxy and Vic’s secret now, I don’t think it will be too long before we see 2018 nelson show up!

Just found this and wanted to contribute: I just picked up some Nelson from MoreBeer and YVH. I’ve purchased from BSG via my lhbs and nikobrew a few years back but was not happy with the quality. May have been poor handling or a bad year (2014/15)...

Nice work Haze - giving it the “thunder” with 9oz addition! You’re giving me courage to amp up the additions. Cheers

Really interesting. Definitely lemon up front with some mellon character and bright crisp flavors, not those of over ripe fruit. I also got a bit of resin/rind/touch of wood (pleasant). I enjoyed the hop on its own and have been trying to think of other hops it would complement. As a base hop...
