My wife still has a lot of family in Scranton. Kkuczma, ever go to Ale Mary's? My wife's cousin owns it.

Don't think there's anything to worry about. I'm using some Gulo slurry from a batch I brewed a couple of months ago. That batch was insane. Iirc, gravity dropped about 50 points in less than48 hours. Today's brew is a Biere de Garde.

Sounds like your setup is similar to mine. Minor difference is I put my bag in the cooler before adding water. A simple remedy for mashing imo is the BIAB calculator (Brew in a Bag (BIAB) Calculator ~) . Gets my water temp almost spot on. I grind my grains quite fine, getting very good...

Brewed this about 2 weeks ago. Tropical DIPA - a real fruit bomb!

Dry. Kinda look homemade.

I've only used Lutra, too. Worked great in a Baltic Porter and a faux Imperial Lager.

Finally, fermentation is underway. It took over 24 hours but it's in full gear now.

Checkpoint Charlie Pils Edit:. This looks better!

At this moment, I'm drinking a beer I made from Voss last week. Orange is not very strong but I hit it hard with Rakau and Sabro hops (about 12 ounces). Tastes great but the heavy dose of hops is probably overpowering the taste from yeast. Fermented between 95-97.

Not looking good so far. When using Kveik it's usually roaring away by now. I pitched about 16 hours ago and there's no sign of fermentation.

When adding gelatin to the keg, I now use the Dr Hans "technique"...

I've actually started boiling all of my brews for 30 minutes - lagers included. No dms that I can detect. This was suggested to me by a few brewers I trust when I restarted brewing a year ago. Ain't going back! Also, I only brew lagers under pressure (no controlled temp). Just started this a...

Nice! I'm a Saison fan.

I decided to brew today instead. I picked the weirdest of the lot, the Espe. Let's see if the description is correct (warm alcohol, plums, cognac, and floral).

Grain to glass in 6 days. Dry Voss Kveik with Sabro and Rakau hops.

I'm new at pressurized fermentation for lagers. I've done 4 in the last couple of months with success. I have kicked up the psi to 25 from the start. I also have the temp in the low 70's. At that temp and pressure, one pack of 34/70 is plenty for the job. So far, so good. Btw, my fermentations...

I picked up some packs from an eBay seller. Until now, I've only used a few different liquid strains and the dry Lalbrew kveiks. Anybody used these? I might give one of them a try tomorrow.

Get a metal bottle of Bud, Miller, etc. Unscrew cap, add a few grams of hops nd put it in the fridge for a few days. Strain the hops out while pouring into a glass. You should get a decent idea about the hops.

I wonder if my burst disc failed on a tank I had a couple of months back. I just bought a new kegerator, I was meticulously weighing the tank, checking for leaks. After a week on the scale, I removed it. Everything was fine for a few weeks until I noticed frost on the upper tank towards the...

I might try Diamond but my results so far with a single pack of 34/70 under pressure have been excellent so far. Been brewing many years but recently started doing lagers since discovering pressurized fermentation.
