You know for whatever reason this did not come to my mind. I've used this yeast many times and am used to seeing them going to town on my beers. I've always thought this was yeast clumps that you sometimes see in British strains. Break material makes more sense to me. Especially with this...

Hello all! I couldn't really find much info on this...Yesterday I brewed up one of my go to IPA recipes. I chilled the wort to 75 degrees and pitched a packet of us-05. I then aerated and put the carboy in my fermentation fridge for a slow chill to 64 degrees. About 12 hours later I had a good...

If you're doing it in a laundry room you are going to need some kind of ventilation. I did a batch in my kitchen and the windows of my downstairs steamed up pretty good. I ended up opening the windows to help with moisture. I think I boiled off about .6 gallons per hour on 120v from calculation...

Thank you for your input. Going to try and get a bag for my next batch and try this out along with a finer crush. I'd be super happy with 76 percent efficiency. Especially if I can consistently hit it. I'd like to be able to brew a 7-8% abv beer without having to max out the capacity of grains...

Looks like I might need to get a bag for the malt pipe if I want to do a finer crush to help efficiency. I also have never stirred the entire grain bed. I just rake the top 1/3 every 15 mins with the recirculating pump, so I may give this a shot as well. What is your sparging technique with the...

Purchased this a few months ago and love it! However, I have been getting some pretty low efficiency on my last few batches (less than 60%). I don't have a mill, so I usually just have my LHBS crush for me at their standard crush setting. I'm assuming this is where my efficiency loss is coming...

I love WLP001. I have used it many times myself. Decided to go with the coastal haze for this batch. Sounded like it would work well with this recipe. I'm excited to see how it turns out! It is bubbling away now! I ended up bumping up the grain bill a bit and added a little flaked wheat in...

I had originally put in for white labs WLP001 California ale. I like how clean this yeast is and how it allows the hops to really come through. I started to think I might give white labs coastal haze blend WLP067 a shot though with this tropical hop recipe. This strain would be totally new to...

Thanks you all for the responses and insight!! Most of the beers I have brewed have been pretty traditional in style and techniques. Lately I have been wanting to stray away from what is supposed to be done or used in a typical style and see how it results. I figured this one might be a start...

This is my general practice when dry hoping. I wanted to do some experimenting and deviate away from adding them late and try to add them early during fermentation to see how that will result. I figured this might add some juicy characterustic to the beer, or would this be a waste?

I have not tried that beer, but I do remember drinking an IPA that had orange in it. I remember it being pretty good too. Can't remember what it was. It might have been a small batch experiment from one of the local breweries that was given to me. @Degallo.i might have to try out what you...

That is exactly what I was thinking of when I put this together. Maybe I will just leave the orange peel in and take the corriander out just in case it has the opposite effect of what I am trying to achieve. I can always brew up a one gallon batch of this with corriander later on down the road...

I don't want it to be mainly citrusy. I really like the flavor galaxy gives and was hoping the oranage peel and coriander would compliment it with the citrusy/spicey notes. Maybe give it something that makes you say "there is something else in here that I can't quite figure out, but it is good."...

Just put together a boarder line apa/ipa recipe with a 50/50 duo of galaxy and citra. I wanted to keep the IBU's between 50-60. I decided to use amarillo for first wort addition, because I was using it before I made some changes and leaving it as the bittering seemed to keep my IBU's where I...

so far it tasted really refreshing, and I can tell this is going to be a good beer! especially for the bbq that i am planning! The beer was very well balanced, with low bitterness and a noticable hope flavor, but not what I expected from being an IPA. This was just from my OG reading too, so I...

Yeah I have never used liberty before either, but those are the hops that came with the recipe kit. I love the flavor that cascade gives, and think they would compliment a wheat style quite well with the citrusy flavor they give. Just wasnt sure how they would do with the hops that are already...

Brewed up the brewers best american wheat ipa kit yesterday. I tasted a sample from my OG reading and it tasted really refreshing with low bitterness and touch of hop flavor. I am really liking how this beer turned out so far! I am thinking about going out and picking up some hop pellets to dry...

Ok, so I got a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone fermenting right now using this yeast. It has been in primary for 6 days now, and I’m thinking about racking for clearing. I just went to check on it the batch and I still see a very thin layer of krausen on the top. It looks like a thin even layer of...

Awesome glad to hear that! I just brewed up the batch a few days ago. The sample tasted delicious when I took my OG. Just worried if this yeast would work well with this style. It smelled horrid in the starter. It took off quick once I pitched it, but man does it smell like bad sulfur as it...

hello, today i am about to brew up a recipe out of my clone brews book for a seirra nevada pale ale clone. their recipe calls for wyeast 1056, but my LHBS doesnt carry wyeast anymore, only white labs. So i originally bought WLP001 because i was reading how similar the two are. When i arrived at...
