Think I just had my first infection. Used Dried Kveik. Fermented way too dry. Tried to add dry hops to offset it. Nope. Its bad. First dumper. Oh well.
Pretty much for 4-5 months of the year in Charleston, SC unless I'm using pressurized fermentation. I even just pressurized a Kveik to get automatic carbonation.
I never did lagers in my years of Homebrewing until getting the SPUNDit in the last year. I now regularly do lagers at room temp. I crank up the psi to 30 on the SPUNDit and let it rip on one pack of 34/70 (the only lager yeast I've used to date). So far, so good.
Brewed a Big Kveik Pale Ale yesterday with dry Voss. OG was 1.078, down to 1.032 24 hours later. Btw, using the SPUNDit at 30. This was a last minute brew, just winged it.
I guess I'm actually a MIAB guy. But I regularly do 16# in my 10g Igloo cooler for 5 .5 gallon batches. I like high gravity beer. I suppose I could do a couple pounds more with my no sparge but it hasn't happened yet.
