This is an example of the problem: (Don't mind the perlick on the keg, I'm going to build a collar this weekend:)) I was experiencing the same problem with picnic tap, was thinking that it will go away with a proper faucet, but no luck. Here is my setup : 12 psi constant pressure...

I'm planning to order this (internationally) Does it cause any plastic off flavors when left with beer in it?

Mandarina was 2015 crop (but stored in original vacuum package in the freezer) and Melon was 2016 crop. Maybe they were subpar quality to begin with? I wasn't very impressed with other hops (including C hops) of the particular supplier either... But Polaris was from another supplier. My IPA's...

I dry hopped mine with 140g dry hops (70g Mandarina and 70g Melon). No hop aroma. Almost nothing. I'm very disappointed with these hops, I had the same disappointment with Polaris hops last year. I'll stick with classic American hops for IPA's (and Galaxy of course :) ) and save German hops for...

What a coincidence, I brewed a "German IPA/pale ale/whatever you call it" with mainly Mandarina+Melon hops a couple of days ago. It's now happily bubbling in the fermenter. We'll see how it turns out in a month. Here's my complete recipe, it's not a DIPA, but maybe it will give you an idea...

Brewed a wit(ish) wheat beer (used wheat malt instead of flaked wheat), turned out pretty good. I only used a small amount of coriander at 5min. Fermented at 23C, Smooth mouthfeel with the right amount of yeasty wit character, delicious.

How many packets did everybody use to brew this using Belle Saison, 1 or 2? I have 2 packets, but want to keep one if a single packet is enough. (They are not easy to acquire here :( ).

Please let them age. It's a very good kit beer, but really shines after 6 months in the bottle. (I discovered this too late :) )

I started homebrewing and cycling after we had our baby, but I need to say, your previous life is over, that's correct :)

I squeezed the bag before, but novadays I let it drain over a colander, than put in a secondary bucket and pour my sparging water over it. Then I mix the water with grains to get the last remaning sugar and drain it. This way is a lot easier, faster and more efficient, I get around 85%...

I have one brewbag and ordered today a Wilser Bag. The seams on my brew bag were becoming a little stretched because of excessive squeezing, so less seams (2 instead of 4) may be better. It's a quality bag, but don't squeeze either one like I did :)
