I've done a 7.5% IPA including 3 days dry hopping and 3 days cold crash in 10 days. The ferment took off like a rocket with the Wyeast 1217 West Coast IPA yeast and was done in 4 days. With gelatin at the start of cold crash and force carb I was pouring beautiful fresh clear ale to my delight...

Adding gelatin, cold crashing and time work wonders for clearing. Sent from my HTC One XL using Home Brew mobile app

I recommend something larger but only because I have had a great experience with my 13 gallon (50 litre) ss pot. It obviously can be done with little fuss as others atest to but I don't think you'll ever regret getting something a little bigger. I do full volume mashes and yes temps do drop a...

+1 to yeast nutrients. Another beginner mistake I've made is with the temp of the beer when taking the FG reading. Post cold crashing and for consistency the beer needs 30-60 mins at room temps to warm to a similar temp to that of your initial OG reading. A recent IPA I brewed had a cold FG of...

Used this yeast for the first time and love it. The BN CYBI Green Flash West Coast IPA from kettle to keg in 10 days, 1.066 to 1.010 with a 2L starter. Lovely dry finish but sweetness that cuts the bitterness nicely. Took off within 6 hours at 22℃ and upped by 1℃ each day up to...

Ok brew #2 for me tweaking temps - slightly lower mash and slightly higher ferm temps to fix low attenuation. Result a success with an IPA going from 1.066 to 1.010 in 5 days. From kettle to glass in 10 days including dry hop. This is a major improvement for me as my problem has been persistent...

I have had the same poor attenuation issues consistently and I have a CDN and an STC-1000 that I now do not trust. I cannot even calibrate the CDN and have contacted the manufacturer who rightfully offered to repair/replace it under warranty. I suspected my mash was actually too high so reduced...

I brewed on this one on NY's day and have had the same experience. Thing is it was crystal clear when racking to keg so it's happened during transfer and/or carbonation. At 22℃ (71.6℉) it went from 1.039 to 1.011 in 4 days, diacetyl for 3 days at 24℃ (75.2℉) then cold...
