Thus my love/hate relationship with 1318. It makes amazing neipas, but Regardless of the hops I used, all beers tasted about 80-90% the same with major differences in bitterness or piney/dank.

Follow-up: The omega yeast hirnindal is a blend of I think four yeasts. I overbuilt the original pack and set aside slurry. I brewed 5 batches from the overbuilt slurry. I would use a sanitized tablespoon to pickup some goop at the bottom of the jar. The first three went just as advertised...

Yes - except for pillowfort. Yes - amazing. Reminds me of OG Treehouse beers: aroma explode from glass, soft pillowy mouthfeel, saturated hop flavors w/ supporting yeast esters Personally Treehouse not worth the wait / effort in new brewery. Cheater Hops was very good but not on par w/ SS...

Possibly - I am going to go work through the Crisp malted oats first and to see if improved. To be honest the driving force for me to drop wheat malt was not the Janish book per se but rather what they actually do at Sapwood. Snipsnap (2R, flaked oats, chit); Pillowfort (2R, malted oats...

Closing the loop on my “kitchen sink” NEIPA (26days from brew day). Not the best but definitely in the top five. Vic secret definitely took lead in aroma & flavor. This is the first time I can say that “guava” is the pronounced flavor in my beer. It is uncanny how much it tastes like guava...

Yes - easily, maybe even more than that.

I havent used this yeast for a while but last batch w/ Conan tasted weird and I needed to brew a replacement for a get together next weekend so I broke out my stash of Hornindal. I had previously over built a starter and harvested about 75ml of yeast slurry. I had dipped into that several...

I just had my first experience with "hop creep" compliments of Mosaic. I made a split batch (9gal 1.065SG - target 1.015FG) - Each had three hops - Mosaic, Simcoe, Idaho 7 & Citra, Simcoe, Idaho 7. I split the wort and whirlpooled separately - each had 1.5 oz of the hops in the blend. Then...

Follow up from this post a while back @Braufessor I finally got around to brewing a NEIPA w/ Barke Pilsner - I did use malted oats & chit malt though. It has been 3 weeks since brew day and just poured my first glass. There is a very subtle difference in the malt flavor but I cannot say for...

I would think so. You can buy different mesh filters later if the 20 does not work.

yes. The design is such that the “in” port flows inside the filter and is placed lower than the “out” port , enabling all of the air to be evacuated. BUT the filter must be held upright at first to completely fill with beer and push out the air. After I discard thos first few ounces I just let...

Free float, cold crash for at least24hrs, Install a filter in your transfer line and discard the first few ounces that exposed to air in the line then proceed with transfer. https://www.amazon.com/Line-Strainer-stainless-filter-screen/dp/B00CH2JSIY I dryhop 1.5-2 oz per gallon. No more issues...

Made a “kitchen sink” NEIPA today - used up all of my hop remnants. Knowing my luck it will be the best beer I have ever brewed... B: Bravo WP: Willow Creek, Sabro, Southern Passion DH1: Meridian, Vic Secret, Sabro DH2: Vic Secret, Meridian, Galaxy

Likely due to fact that it is a “public” strain - i.e. anyone can grow it and thus terroir plays a major factor. I got some from farmhouse which he said came from Michigan - not bad but certainly did not wow me. That coupled withthe public factor leads me to pass on this hop due to inconsistency...

Following up on this post - finally got around to trying this ferm schedule. First observation: Fermentation stalled (1.024) :smh: probably because of that first temperature drop. I was traveling so I did not notice until day 8. I roused the yeast with the swirl method - pressure started...

Over fill the can so that when you put the top on and insert in the canner - beer will be displaced - not just foam. Also employ the use of a scale to “check your work” . I do 12oz cans - full can of beer is 294g for my can blanks (could vary by manufacturer). Anything less than 289g and I...

@kevink Crash completely - 36* for at lea What he said!

They will get lots more shipments

Dump first runnings

@ihavenonickname Split the hops - see my previous post. Keg hopping sucks, in my opinion, UNLESS you can allow your beer to condition for two weeks after kegging and then are capable of drinking all of it within the subsequent two week window afterwards that it will be in its prime. For the...
