DFH uses something similar to this at their place. It's basically a table tap with fresh hops at the bottom. I think Sam C mentions something about it in one of his books.

I know that DFH has some instructions to build a hop-o-matic, but has anybody thought about using a water pipet for additions over the 120 min? If you are using pellets instead of leaf you could rehydrate and calibrate your pipet to deliver the total volume of 'hop tea' in equal spaced one drop...

Depending on the selection at your local store, Troegs (Harrisburg, PA) might ship out to Chicago. Try their Nugget Nectar Troegs Brewing Company, Nugget Nectar Ale. They also have a new release - Flying Mouflan - that I haven't had yet, but this is from their site and it is over 100...

Zesting gets all the flavor and avoids the white part of the peel which will add strong bitterness.

Thanks. I'll wait a few more days to see if it drops any more points before bottling. I'm ok with slightly off flavors due to unfermentables but I deff don't want bottle bombs.

I realize that that's most likely too much sugar and the unfermentables in the lactose could be messing things up. Since beersmith (I think) considers lactose fermentable the FG is probably off. But if it claims it should be 1.02 - isn't 1.034 still too high to be just from the lactose?

I have a similar question regarding a chocolate stout I've been brewing. I had it in plastic for 2.5 weeks where it dropped from 1.085 (target was 1.083) to 1.036. The final should be 1.020. I transferred to a glass secondary racking on top of cold brewed coffee. After two weeks I checked...

Same thing just happened to my brew. According to a soft sleeping roommate the explosion happened at about 4 in the morning. Plug was clogged and nothing could even get to the blowoff tube. I lost nearly a third of the beer and it was exposed to air for a few hours. I'm hoping leaving it in...
