This might have been the key here IMHO. What temp did you crash to and then DH at? I typically crash to 50 and keep it there for 36 hrs before letting it freerise back to 56-57 and then DH. Letting as much yeast drop out to the bottom as you can seems to have been the key for me. The beer...

Love the science Omega is doing overall. Curious if the enzyme they are saying is in this yeast to prevent Diacetyl production is ALDC which functions the same?

One thing I always appreciated about brick and mortar stores is to pick my own damn liquid yeast and keep it cold on the way home rather than play russian roulette on whether it will stay good during the summer months. I've also changed my brew choices if the yeast wasn't fresh (<3 months) when...

Wish I had gotten to trade with @aharri1 before his untimely passing....RIP Buddy. I'm in on this one as I missed the last one. Should have some decent choices with a few others coming down the pipe as well.

@hilljack13 Alternatively you can go to the anvil website and look in their discount den. They currently have a 10.5gal for $320! Thats a BIG discount for what is likely a cosmetic issue or its just surplus. That one says its "V1" so Im actually assuming its surplus. BTW, this is likely not...

HB Saison

This is what I like to do....set the bar super low so that they will always be pleasantly surprised! lol, from what I've seen over the years, your beers are great @fourfarthing

I hear that! our kids get it from both my wife and I....for better AND worse lol

YES you will! My 15yr old daughter specifically showed her "gift" of sarcasm at about that same ripe young age as yours is currently. It only gets better....or worse depending on how you view it lol.

FYI: My kids are not youngsters anymore as most of these posts focus on the little tikes. Mine are adolescents (13,15, and 17) now with the oldest becoming 18 on friday. Regardless they are all "adults" in their own minds, full of sarcasm and wit. Case in point: Last week we were all at the...

My first saison. It tastes good to me.

NODA radio haze. Decent commercialized hazy ipa. Poured from a keg at my local club. Zero head retention but still solid flavor.

Me too. It’s a great beer and actually cheaply priced around my parts in NC. Don’t think many know what it is lol

I have only brewed a couple IPAs this year due to venturing out into other styles but I do enjoy Columbus a ton onthe hot side and Ive often used a touch of it (1-2oz max) on the DH to help bring that character through to the final product

Can never get good lighting in the house at night but this is force carbed leftovers from my NEIPA I kegged today - only the second NEIPA Ive brewed this year! lol. Used some Moutere in the boil at 15min and 5min but the rest (including DH) is all Nectaron, Citra, and Nelson. The Nelson...

OMG that sucks

How’s the Barke Vienna? I’ve eaten the grains and loved it but curious how it came through in the final beer

I think this also depends on the yeast used. IMHO, Verdant, Juice, LAIII all don't let the hops shine as much as a24 dry hop. I still like them all but yeast esters can also sometimes cover up the hop profiles

For me, I think the balance is at 56-57F for a total of 48hrs contact time. After I soft crash to 50 for 36hrs, I will gently let it rise to 56. Then I measure my DHs out and put them in a tupperware container to warm up to room temps for about 1hr. If Im using a whole 2oz pack, Ill keep it...

Had no idea The Answer made doppelbocks. While only 7.7% this is quite tasty.
