The low cell count of New England is true. On a recommendation in the forum I have used one pack of Verdant and one pack of New England co-pitched. I have repitched the cake a few times with great results also. Verdant can leave it a little too sweet but adding the New England helps with...

Any feedback on this years Citra crop? I’m still using up 2020…

I’m heading to southern cal soon. What are some recommendations in the north San Diego area?

The electricity cost and the house are both reasons for the high bill. AC doesnt run constantly so maybe it could get that cold, never tried. We still don’t want our house that cold. We heat it as much as we can afford. Pool is heated too, with solar. No one will go in under 90 degrees. It’s...

OMG! Native here, we run AC at 79-80! Yes the thermostats are accurate. My kids, also natives, sleep in hoodies under blankets. I know of no one who could afford to run the AC at 68! I highly doubt my systems (2 AC in 2story home, 8 tons of AC) could get the house that cold. On my second...

Thanks for the link. My exact problem. Never been big on knots but this looks quite easy!

Hmm, looking in the box I didn’t get that. They did include a couple hop socks.

I put a Wilser bag on my Christmas list. I have been using my Brew Bag for about 70 batches, it was just getting very stained and the kids needed some inexpensive items to get me. I will say I really like how the Wilser bag fits my pot. However, the lack of the lifting straps means you need a...

By malted oats do you mean Golden Naked Oats?

I tried LalBrew Koln several months back for a Kolsch and really liked it. I then repitched it for a west coast IPA and that was also good. Should have saved some of that cake!

What temperature profile would you recommend?

Any dry yeast suggestions for an Irish Extra Stout?

Just wanted to share a positive experience. I haven't bought from Adventures in Homebrewing in several years. I had a gift certificate and with the change in ownership I figured it was gone. On Thanksgiving night I tried to use it but it said it was invalid. I sent an email asking about it. To...

I ferment 4 gallons in a keg all the time. When using a yeast that makes a really big Krausen (like Verdant) I back off to 3.5 gallons. I purge the dry hop and serving keg at the same time, running tubing between them and then into a jar of StarSan. I haven’t tried spunding yet.

Brewed in a keg with floating dip tube. Added small dry hop charge while flowing CO2. It is cold crashing now. Plan to transfer to a purged serving keg. Question is if I can just put new wort on top of this yeast and dry hop cake? Current batch was a pale ale and the new batch will be an IPA.

BTW, was at Lowe’s over the weekend. Finally had the little red oxygen cylinders back in stock.

Has anyone tried this recipe with a Kveik yeast? I have a pack of dry Omega Lutra I am looking to do something with.

My one experiment with HG did not turn out well. Looking back I may have fermented hotter than I wanted. Anyone know if that would make it more pungent/sulphery? I harvested the yeast. If I did ferment to hot would that effect the yeast so any repitch would also be bad? I want to try HG again...

Please post an update!

I did some more reading. Looks like the idea comes up every couple years. It doesn’t look like it will hurt anything but it doesn’t actually help either. I used to put yeast nutrients but after running out early Covid I haven’t been doing so. I need to drop by LHBS anyway, I will get some.
