Where we are adding water chemistry minerals. In my experience reducing what I add in the MT/HLT and saving a % of certain minerals to BK has a very different impact. Point being, it’s probably worth a conversation on here to see what everyone’s method is. @Dgallo I’m curious what your technique...

We always talk about water profiles, but never discuss where we are adding the ingredients. I find that to be equally important. Something to consider…

Im sure they’ve upped their DH amounts, but my $ would be on grain bill. I’m still convinced their core beers are dry hopped at a low rate compared to todays standards. The difference in Julius and JJJ is to the point you would think they’re completely different beers.

Seems like a good price. I’m too far for the big items. I believe you mentioned having an Oktober can sealer - you selling it using at the brewery?

Good to know. I was considering getting into the LUPO at a small %. I love cashmere, I think it’s a great secondary hop, but was never impressed as the primary. This makes me want to try the LUPO.

I find the majority of breweries making this style to be inconsistent, but yes, TH is probably at the top of that list. The thing for me is that when they nail a batch, it’s usually something pretty spectacular. I’m not finding that many other places. I’d rather drink my own stuff than the...

I’ve tried mixing beers. Didn’t taste like TH. I’m curious about using PH as well, it’s an interesting thought. I’m assuming our DNA experts on here are correct, but it’s interesting that the esters in a TH core beer don’t come close to resembling the esters from the three yeasts in question, at...

FYI…For those who like the Bells Select hops, they’re 20% off today.

The mosaic Ive gotten from YVH has been anywhere from mediocre to terrible. After that I started getting all my mosaic from YCH. Everything I’ve gotten has been really, really good. For Citra I bite the bullet and pay for Bells. I’ve never had great Citra from anywhere else. Also, fun fact...

#1 was good. Your typical TH beer. Esters come through pretty well. I tried #2, much more hop presence, but still too green. Should be much better in a couple weeks. Haven’t gotten my hands on #3 yet.

100% agree with this. For awhile OH was putting out some amazing beer. It’s been awhile since I’ve had anything great from them. I personally think what OH use to put out is quite a bit better than Fidens, but similar in terms of style. It’s interesting that so many people love Fidens - nobody...

Considering their business model when they first started, I completely disagree. And the science throughout this entire thread backs me up. Tree House has even confirmed it’s a yeast blend, so I’m not sure why this is an argument.

I don’t think this conversation has anything to do with how they started. The point being argued is that a company brewing a large quantity of beer can’t justify the cost of using new yeast for each batch. My argument is that their sales can justify it. And to your point, yes they started very...

Enigma is one of the crazier hops I’ve used. In my experience it dominates most other hops and doesn’t seem to fade. That being said, I’d be cautious about using it in large percentages on the cold side.

For a typical brewery I would agree that using fresh yeast every time probably isn’t cost efficient. For a brewery that probably averages $10,000+ of can sales an hour out their front door, I don’t think it’s an issue.

Right. I wasn’t suggesting they KO at that PH. And Ive heard yeast will get to its target PH regardless - not sure if that’s true. It seems like getting your Ph that low would be more likely if your KO PH was lower to begin with.

Pic from the OH thread… I’m certainly not an expert on PH, and I don’t typically measure it in the FV, but the one thing I’ve always been curious about in this log is how low the PH is. So maybe there’s some advantage to dropping it really low at KO or post WP.

I’ve had good luck with YCH mosaic

I actually feel the opposite in regards to the market. I think it’s flooded with IPA’s that aren’t very good. Breweries are jumping on this style and pushing out poor beer because they know anything labeled hazy will sell. The last haul I got from TH was a level higher than anything else I’ve...

Trillium use to be my favorite brewery. The street series was unbelievable and I thought Fort Point was the best PA in the country. I’m not trying to put them down but I think with all the focus on expansion and some of the changes they’ve made to their recipes have really had a negative effect...
