Much appreciate it; damn happy I thought twice before pulling the trigger on this one

I could be wrong, but IIRC, chill haze only appears when the beer is chilled below 40F.

My LHBS is quoting me about $180 for a 10 lb CO2 tank, with $40 refills; they want $50 for a used keg as well. Is it me, or are they screwing me?

You didn't fly sparge your secondary, you forgot to rack your krausen to the mash tun, and it looks like you didn't cold crash your primary before pitching the trub. RDWHAHB :ban::fro::ban:

I live about 30 min away from them, only been once. Nice place, dunno why I don't go more often Anyway, be sure to try the Maduro, and their Jai Alai IPA is great (pronounce Hai A-Lie, so you don't sound like a tourist)

You can have 3 gallons of headspace and be just fine; you're underestimating how much CO2 yeast throw off (a LOT)

Safale-05, dry yeast - used it twice so far in NB's Pumpkin Smash (OG 1.049) and Black IPA (OG supposed to be 1.069, IIRC; wound up being 1.095 due to not accounting for boil off). I rehydrated the yeast before pitching, and had fermentation bubbles in my blow off tube about 2-3 hrs after pitching

So has anyone compared 300 to 400 mesh yet?

That's currently being discussed in another hopstopper thread; seems 200 is a bit too fine, and a few people are testing out 300 vs 400 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/new-way-control-pellet-hop-gunk-352293/index7.html

+1 for reading comprehension; total fail on my part :p

Wow, lots of fanboys and denial in that thread :fro:

So what's the non-Lite version? the desktop? What's excluded? Any plans to bring the full version to android?

Well, they say the best discoveries are accidents :)

Thanks all; it's a NB's Black IPA, I've already pitched the yeast last night, so I figure it's too late to add water; OG was supposed to be 1.075, was actually 1.089 or 1.090, so we'll see what happens

Sam Adams when they feature homebrew samplers; I can't stomach them - way too much alcohol, and not enough flavors to mask that overpowering pungent taste of alcohol

Much appreciated, lesson learned :)

Make a batch, started at about 5.5 gallons, wound up with about 4 gallons when I racked it into the primary due to boil off; am I right in thinking the only problem is that the beer might be too concentrated? Will this throw my OG/SG off?

25 minutes to get to a boil. Much better

Well, I was about to chuck this thing out the window until I read this - now it sounds like a jet engine and I'm getting ready to give it another shot. Much appreciate the help

Amazing company, great return policy. They'll take something back and give you a refund if the product worked fine but just not the way you thought. They'll pay for return shipping and even schedule a UPS pickup at your doorstep/wherever the original package was delivered. Amazing...
