How could a Spike Conical be an eyesore?!?!?!? I think it adds character to room.

The new hop yard is alive!!

Glad to hear that it doesn’t sway too early.

Having not tried A24, can you repitch this? I am cheap and like to overbuild my starters to harvest yeast. Knowing that A24 is a blend, its seems like it is not a good for the repeatability of a beer.

Haha, that’s my most expensive bourbon:ban:

And here comes @couchsending from on top of the cage with a huge elbow drop. Haha The beer looks great, can’t wait to read the follow up!

The gas has to go somewhere...

Those look fantastic!

Pitched 34/70 @ 58f yesterday, its happily bubbling away at 66f now.

Breaking bread on Easter Sunday.

Brewing an experimental lager warm fermented with 34/70. I was going to DH with 2 oz of Saaz, but now am thinking of whirlpooling them. Thoughts?

No cold crashing ability yet on mine. I just did a DDH with 4 oz of pellets. Then dumped. Waited and did 2 oz of Cryo. All in a span of three weeks. Dumped the last DH a day before racking and had no issue. The only thing I can recommend is to wait and have gravity do it’s thing if you can’t...

Cold crashing will help

Labor Day will be harvest time. Hopefully you can get your trellis up by Memorial Day.

Have you lost weight? You look great in that picture!:p

My wife and I visited her cousin in NC, and her husband was a head mechanic at the base working on Harrier jets. We were lucky enough to get a tour when they were practicing vertical landing/takeoff. I was in awe watching them come in from a few miles out, do the maneuver, and go out to do it...

So I think I am going to start roasting, albeit Neanderthal and all, but hey you have to start somewhere. I will be using a cast iron dutch oven, propane burner, whisk, and a couple metal bowls for cooling. I am wondering if there is a bean you all would recommend for this style of roasting...

Finally getting some nice air pockets!

When y’all are dumping yeast, what is your process? I have a spike conical and when I open the 2” butterfly valve on the bottom I think I am punching a hole in the cone. I am thinking I need to add a reducer to slow the flow or perhaps add a yeast brink.

Do you have a price on this set up?
