Bjcp guidelines should prohibit wheat, oats, and lactose from the IPA category and NEIPAs should be their own category

I'm starting to see more commercial examples of traditional IPAs by me again. (NJ) Rejoice!

You mean you didn't amazon a 1/4" ratchet set just for homebrew stuff?

Getting ready for my spike solo delivery!

I'm a fan of pumps. How's a pump any less pumps, hoses, camlocks oh my? (Than a winch say)

Lol, it's funny to me that THAT is too much for you. Why don't you show us all your pots, giant controller, herms/rims/whatever garbage y'all are up to today, lol

OR should I put a T on the pump and two separate ball valves to individually control flow?

I wanted to put the 3 way on my riptide. I have mine oriented vertically where inlet is into the bottom and outflow is on top. I use ball lock QDs and figures I'd put the valve directly onto the pump out and then male ball lock fittings on the valve. That'd be fine too, right?

If anyone with a solo+ is using a 3 way valve to split the outflow between recirculation and whirlpool I'd love to see it. This is what intend to do but I can't even figure out what 3 way valve I need. I already have a riptide and plan to use it. It's an npt riptide so I THINK I need an L type 3...

Are you guys pressing the basket? I squeezed the bag sometimes and didn't others brewing biab. I plan to press the basket for sure. Also on the grains in the bk issue has anyone ever done a 10 minute vorlauf with a tc inline filter? I already own one that I use when kegging but figured it could...

It's an enzyme that is said to eliminate stuck sparges and increase efficiency and clarity. Bold claims for sure. It seems to be targeted towards commercial breweries, but I was wondering if any homebrewers have used it and if it's worth a damn. On FB, the all-knowing algorithm has targeted me...

Won't one strain just eventually win out in a fermentation? I've always read if you want to mix strains you ferment separately and blend the beers.

Turned my spare tank and regulator into my CFC water evacuation unit, lol I've found no matter how I tilt the CFC some water remains and it has me wondering how much mold can/does grow in there. It doesn't leave "plate chiller" worried, but I thought it'd be good to get any excess water out...

I'm also team C-hop! Never grown them, YET

I woke up and checked the gravity of my fermenting beer from my bed via my tilt. I then upped the temp with a wifi inkbird. It's amazing how cheap this **** has gotten! I did later go downstairs and put the spunding valve on.

That's what HBT is for, right?

I don't bottle and I did use both a tincture and whole vanilla beans for the vanilla. I'm not worried at all about infection after fermentation is complete

+6 west coast ipa! 671

I made a wheat beer with lemon zest and a ton of rosemary from my garden. AMAZING

The hops don't matter as much as a grainbill with no wheat, oats, or lactose in the boil. Do a real bittering addition, use a chico strain of yeast, and cold crash to death after dry hop. NEIPAs are played out to death and I'm ready for the rest of the country to catch up with me!
