Nice! Northwest customer here too.

I know, Galaxy hates me. I want to like it but I've had too many diesel bombs I'm a bit gunshy.

Thanks, any specific pressure?

What are people's thoughts on post-fermentation dry hopping under pressure? Any reason to do it?

Ok so here is my clone attempt and I'm a ways off. Mine is much darker so I'm going to use all light Munich instead of mixing light and dark. The commercial version is much hoppier and brighter. I used Wlp007 because it's what I had but I'll switch to Chico for the next brew. Sweetwater 420...

6oz. total for 5 gallons. 2 oz. in the whirlpool at 170F 4 oz. dry hop. Tons of bitterness, these hops are no joke. 19.5AA the lot I have.

I did a single hop Vic Secret recently. This recipe, but moved everything to the whirpool and dry hop. First Time using Vic Secret and it was incredible! Totally holds up on it's own.

Thanks! I live in Canada but travel to Florida often (when not in pandemic). 420 is one of my favorites and is incredible on draft. I won't have any to compare, but I've had enough of it that I should be able to remember. I brew pretty well the exact same grainbill as you posted for my...

I have tried a few times to clone this, and my attempts never have that amazing floral citrus hop character the the commercial version has. I always assume it's the hops. Can I ask where you are sourcing your Cascade/Centennial?

I'm a next day cleaner too. Grainfather makes it easy, after my brew is done, I just empty the grain, give the grainfather a quick spray and leave it until I'm ready to clean, usually the next day.

Dgallos suggestion is correct. That thread is easily the best current discussion of hopping techniques on the internet right now, it's a lot to digest but some great info. Because of that thread, I've stopped dry hopping mid fermentation and now cold crash at the end of fermentation and then...

I do, the issue would be chilling as I use counterflow. I'll probably split pre-boil and do two separate brews.

Yeah I think the best way is to mash and sparge and before boiling pump out half the volume into a bucket. Brew twice.

I would really like to find a way to make a split batch of this in my Grainfather. Like 5 gallon batch split evenly but with totally different hops. I'm reluctant to brew 5 gallons of Ekuanot beer in case it's terrible.

I recently did one with Loral hops.. it was fantastic.

My version with Azacca/Eureka/Mosaic. This is fantastic, my first time using Eureka and it lends a nice bit of pine in the background. The orange from the Azacca is jumping out of the glass, smells like fresh squeezed orange juice.

Although not strictly homebrew, Craft Beer and Brewing is excellent. The podcast as well is stellar.

This forum is for tried and true recipes, maybe try the general recipe forum.

I was surprised too as it's London Ale III which always works fast for me. It took off quickly too, was fresh yeast. Airlock is still bubbling away 6 days in with a health Krausen.

I brewed OP's recipe, but with Azacca/Eureka/Mosaic. First time using Imperial Juice and I'm a bit surprised at how slow it is. Started up super quick, but it's 6 days in and not quite down to terminal. I've used London Ale III a ton, so I'm just a bit surprised. Smelled insane though, my...
