I used to mash hop during my west coast ipa days around 10 years ago. I was trying to get as much hops in my beer as possible for those bitter bombs, lol

New York craft malt was my go to, I would find a pebble or two when milling. O well supporting local was more important but now I just have to find grain. $37 is a great price.

Looks great! I used Rahr back in the day because I think someone saw TH use it. It’s been awhile though because I had been using NY malt

I fill to 6 and never had an issue with the prv becoming blocked. It has crept up the lid a couple times. Usually I ferment under 5lbs of pressure which seems to keep the krausen in check.

Any thoughts on one? Penguin, ice master max…don’t yell at me, I know I should start a new thread, but figured I would start with you all.

Well then, I’m out lol, nah can’t wait to start back up, just need invest in a glycol chiller.

Moved south and haven’t brewed in about a year. Finally getting to where I can brew again, what’s happened over the past year here on the thread, any major breakthroughs?

Yeah, I would say there is another yeast involved, but just a bummer because I brewed a really nice brew before the last two batches.

@stijn26 I just had this experience with this yeast. The last two brews I got the clove & bandaid taste. The most recent brew it is overwhelming. I started to notice the flavor after the 4th generation of building a starter. It could be an infection, but I am pretty anal about sanitizing...

Has anyone added a second butterfly valve below the cone? I am thinking of adding another 2” valve between the cone and sight glass. My plan would be to have open during fermentation, cold crash, dump yeast, close valve upper valve and then dry hop. I don’t like seeing my dry hops fall...

Wow had to do some digging... these are the only photos I could find

It’s happened to me and I just pushed through it. It didn’t transfer to the final beer.

I have not, but still have half a pound of sabro, so I just might.

Why 6-row?

Touché

I only have it at one or two psi when removing my CF5 4” cap. I too scared of that steel disk flying into my face.

Ordered: 2 Lbs Kenya AA Nyeri Boma 3 lbs Ethiopia Sidamo Durato Bombe 2 lbs Mexico Chiapas Tzeltal Tzotzil All from Captains Coffee so we’ll see...I bought on @Ruint recommendation. I am fairly new and have never roasted a Mexican origin, so I was intrigued.

@BobbyC14 What @Dgallo said

Idk if it’s the yeast or whether the flavors marry, but I have noticed that before.

GP adds a lot of malt character compared to 2-row. I noticed the difference between Simpsons GP and Rahr 2-Row when I switched up base malt. I may buy a sack of GP, as it’s been a few sacks since I used it. Thanks! PS. Don’t fear Hornindal. When I need a new keg in less than two weeks it’s my...
