Thanks for the reply! That's good to hear that several members of the club are reporting back fruity notes even across a range of temps. In a straight clean lager I found the esters noticeable but not unpleasant. It does have a nice crispness, though. I would use the yeast again but it most...

No need to apologize! Not a water chemistry expert but I can give some simple advice while we're waiting on someone smarter to show up :) You mention 28ppm but don't say what it means. Can you let us know what you meant by that number and where you're getting it from? If you have that info it...

Great to hear! Please let us know your experience too. I think many of us are curious about what patterns we will see with this yeast as more people brew with it. I brewed a test batch with it and posted in the warm fermented lager thread. Here is the most informative post I put over there. It...

One Night While Hunting for Faeries and Witches and Wizards to Kill - The Flaming Lips

I had nowhere near as good of an excuse. I just convinced myself that he'd be around for a while and that I would go the next time. You live and (sometimes) learn..

Are you asking about all in one systems like Grainfather, Brewzilla, etc? At very initial read I was thinking you meant brew bags, as in brew in a bag (BIAB). For all in ones I have used both a 110 and 220 Grainfather G30. Both are convenient and easy to use and clean. The 110v was very slow to...

This Old Town - Tom Petty

Not trying harder to maintain the relationships from my childhood. People like family friends, roles models, etc. I left a bad home situation when I was 18 and never really came back. I'm from a very small town so I would try to visit but certain people would hear about me and try to get...

The vienna is probably around 3L, right? It'll give you a little more color and character but not even enough to take you out of spec for the style. And that's only if you care about hitting the specs. Weyermann even lists Dortmunder Export under styles for their vienna malt. I know usage rates...

Dirty Sexy Money - The Struts

Spent 10 years in Evanston and now live just a little west in Glenview. Not sure how familiar you are with the area or how far north your burbs are, but you can PM me if you want more recs. Here are a couple more thoughts focused up north. By no means a comprehensive list. Also, if you are at...

Seconding the glue and screw method. I took that approach for a three body secondary regulator. Liquid nails-ed the crap out of it and then screwed it down. No problems for several months now. You might also think about using hanger bolts or something where you can remove/replace the regulator...

Just Around the Corner - Herbie Hancock @BeerAndTele, thanks :) Any morning with some old jazz is a good morning!

Any other plans while in Chicago? I know you like smoked beers. Alarmist has a Bamberger rauchbier on tap right now that's great. You can still find cans of Art History's Fastenbier around, Alarmist's smoked helles called Toke, Goldfinger's rauchbier, and you might be able to find cans of...

😂 Yeah, the bottles, the beer, and himself. I assume nobody but Dave would be cleaning up that 💩 salad of glass and sticky beer.

This is what I do. Scavenge some plastic bottles. Freeze them, turn them upside down, and let them thaw until it's just ice left in the bottle. Super simple. I wouldn't even bother with being too careful getting it into bottles. You're freezing it and concentrating it. Just don't do anything...

It was conditioning for just over 7 weeks at that point. It has been this clear for a couple weeks, though. It definitely took its sweet time to clear up even with gelatin fining. That might be my biggest complaint with the yeast so far. It's crisp and malty but still has that fruity profile...
