Brewing another variation this weekend. Mixing it up a bit based on some recent examples I have tasted and different hops to try from Yakima valley. Also received in my new larger mash tun! 6.5 Gallons OG-1.062 FG- 1.014(ideally) Mash in at 151. Batch sparge. 10lbs- Golden promise (77%) 2lbs-...

Pulled a pint after hitting with 30psi for 24 hrs. Not quite fully carbed yet, but probably 85%-90%. I think this beer is probably suited for lower than normal carbonation Pale Ale Malt tastes great but not over the top. Getting great stickiness from the flaked oat addition. Get the classic...

Upcoming events were going to hinder me from kegging as I originally scheduled.. Soooo.. I went ahead and kegged tonight. I was hoping to not make the beer drop any lower in gravity or even leave some residual peach sweetness in the finished beer. 5 days on the peaches. Original gravity before...

No airlock activity on the secondary to this point. Wondering how long it takes the second fermentation to kick off?

I have used Conan before and love it!

I used frozen peaches. Pulled them out and let them thaw out. Then dropped them in bucket that had a small amount of star San solution and drained it. They were already peeled and cut up very thin. I didn’t mash them up any further. Just dropped them in and racked on top. They immediately...

Decided to move to peaches this morning after 9 days in primary. Taste was great. Hoping to impart some peach flavor or aroma. We will see. Tasted the frozen peaches and they were actually pretty good. Secondary- Racked 5 Gallons of Pale Ale on top of 5lbs peaches(decided for direct contact...

Good point. I have never used an extract before. Always fear of the artificial taste.

Tonight(almost 6 days from yeast pitch) I took another gravity reading and it measured at 1.008. So going to let it hang tight for another couple days and let the yeast do some clean up.

After 72 hours fermentation looked slowed. Took reading at 1.016. Going to warm to 70 for the remainder of the two weeks.

I have heard that too. I already pitched S04 as it was what I had on hand. It’s one of my favorites.

I looked around and didn’t see much about a recipe for a pale ale fermented with peaches. I wanted some good malt flavor and light bitterness and allow peaches to show up. So here we go on my take and will document how it goes. 5.5g OG- 1.056 FG- 1.012 (est) IBUs- 24 SRM- 5.6 30min boil Mashed...

I would ageee 10-12 day mark seems appropriate and what I have followed in the past. I have always hit FG with in the first week. I will leave in the keg for 2 weeks before tapping. Personal preference there. The difference as I noted on the 20day ferment was dry Hop felt. However it could have...

Let’s put this trolling to rest. You are right. Whatever you say. Coool moving on.

Pfff? What’s to disagree with? I said there was a difference between short vs. long dry hopping. Not which one is better. try both and see what you like. Provided a similar article on it. They also said one wasn’t better than the other. Just different. I went long in my last neipa because I...

Brulosophy has taken some of the guesswork out of this. In The exbeeriment there was a definite difference between short and long dry hopping. But like most things, it’s really personal preference at the end of the day. You should try both and see what you like...

Really I didn’t have a keg available. Also- I wanted to see if there were any off flavors or changes from the hops being in contact for so long. My experience is the beer is right at around 4/5 weeks. Before that it’s drinkable but green. Just my preference. I feel the same from a brewery. It’s...

I have always done hops in a muslin bag and it’s brought another level of aroma and flavor in the keg.. But, I hate to see tons of Hop particles floating around. I understand there are ways around this, and I have a mesh tube. Just trying to make a hazy beer without hop particles floating...

So just tapped the WLP007 batch. OG 1.056 FG 1.009 5.5 Gallons 8lbs 2-Row 4lbs White Wheat Mashed at 152 (Only did a 30min boil) 30min- .25oz Mosaic 30min- .25oz Citra Flameout- 1.75oz Mosaic (30min) Flameout- 1.75oz Citra (30min) Dry Hop 1- 2oz Mosaic (18 Days) added about 48hrs into...

I just used WLP007 for first time and got 82% attenuation while mashing at 152. It did some quick work in 3 days. Going to compare it to my standard S04.
