From my research and experience here is my process. When you go to secondary or keg your beer leave just enough beer to cover the yeast cake. It helps if you cold crash before transferring your beer. Swirl the beer and yeast slurry then pour into sanitized mason jars. Make sure to use Mason jars...

Dont heat it as that will bring out bitterness. As long as you sanitized your container you should be just fine

That should okay. The amount of beans and time of extraction are the important factors. The yield doesn't matter much as it will only determine concentration.

Hey I'm all for whatever great beer can be made!

You might be right, regardless its classic american "c" hop presented a little more more balanced. I think it would complement an English IPA grain bill while still bringing a prominent american component.

Exactly! You could use an english IPA grain bill and substitute american hops. It's not an american hop but mandarina bavaria is cross bred from citra and a german noble hop. I have a pale ale on tap using it. It's a toned down classic american ipa flavor hop.

I was going to suggest an english IPA as well. It is much more balanced the an american IPA and the hops used are much more palatable.

This is my first year entering my beers. I have 3 going out: a belgian tripel, pineapple weissbier and an IPA. I've never entered a comp due to a little hesitancy and the fact that the beers seemed to be judged on a narrow view of a particular style. I've become more confident in my beer this...

I've done many coffee beers as I am also a coffee roaster and nerd. My preferred method is to use around 4-5oz of FRESH coffee beans in a cold toddy (for a 5 gal batch of beer). You grind the beans as coarsely as possible and add around 3 cups of water. Keep in the fridge for roughly 12-18 hours...

Damn Liverpool. Golden opportunity squandered. Very nervy next 14 EPL matches ahead.

I think silly would be the habits you have formed that may benefit one of your efficiencies but to a much smaller degree that it would benefit another efficiency. Therefore, making the decision silly.

All good things must come to an end I suppose. I wonder who will end up replacing him.

It's a sad day, Man U have no where to go but up from here. Us Liverpool supporters were Mou's biggest fans. No one could squander such talented players like he could.

Hahaha! [emoji1]

It was a good day for EPL teams today!

It wouldn't be decent banter without it my man

YNWA!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say how and introduce myself. I'm a homebrewer and soccer fan so this thread sounds about perfect. I've been brewing since 2012 and a Liverpool supporter since 2006. It has certainly been a good day today [emoji16]

I think you should error on the side of overpitching and purchase the extra yeast packets. Your new yeast calculator predictions sound accurate. If you can do a stir plate that is preferable but not necessary.

Without knowing your OG and FG I would say that seems high but possible. I brew 10g batches as well and I would highly recommend getting a 5L flask and repitching your yeast. I can usually make 3L starter using yeast I harvested from a previous batch. I dont worry about decanting that amount...
