I’ve got 4 taps and use the hand pump from the shank side and BLC method. The faucets come apart and soak in the BLC that comes out of the lines and then get a hot water rinse before reassembly. Recirculating is surely better, but this has worked for me so far. I do one line at a time, as I...

This thread ended well, how often does an 8 year old thread get bumped and the OP is still around and posts helpful pics!? Looks great! I just have taps off of my collar, but still fiddling with PC fans to try and solve my foaming issues. Did you scrap the blower when you moved the taps to...

This is also where I am at. For my taste buds, hitting the right level of bitterness and dry hop aroma are key to making these styles delicious. Even with age, I also would describe WY3711 as ‘flabby’ perhaps due in large part to the slickness quality on the tongue? I think 30 IBUs minimum...

Seems he’s trying to figure out the remaining hop qty, so there’s already less than a pound in there!

It’s gonna be May, get it??? 🤣

Ok, after several weeks in the keg, the great balance of this recipe is becoming apparent to me. I’m a habitual drinker of young beers. Halfway through the keg, the yeast is getting out of the way of the hops. The hop aroma off of this beer is so great! Overall, this is a great beer and will...

HB Centennial blonde during a hop stand.

Cool, I had a 2013 Fit Sport and it was such a great car. On topic! Boiling a NEIPA, will use Idaho 7, Strata, and Citra this round. Can’t wait! Thanks @Dgallo for the hop suggestion in the NEIPA thread!

I see a red Honda badge, what car is that? I’ve got a ‘19 Si coupe myself. Dan

Was planning to brew a NEIPA today. Got the water all prepped, most equipment out, starter is done. Then a friend invites us over to hang out by the lake, and the yard work has piled up and it’ll rain tomorrow... I think I’ll push the brew day to tomorrow. Feels like a delayed missile launch...

HB dry hopped saison

In keeping with the yeast starter theme, spinning up some 1318 on my ugly home made stir plate for a NEIPA I’m brewing tomorrow.

Use your wife’s vacuum sealer like I do 😬

I’m semi-local to Great Fermentations but would still order from them if I wasn’t. But, everyone has their favorite place! Ive got a tapcooler CP bottle filler and it’s absolutely fantastic! Easy to use and clean, and super nifty. If I had to state a downside I’d say that counter pressure...

Grew up in Chicago and earwigs were a part of life. Also guns.

Hmm, I dry hopped in a keg at room temp for 4 days, then put the keg in the kegerator with the hops still in there. I plan to bottle a dozen or so of these beers to share - should I worry about hop creep causing bottle bombs? Dan

Gross! But I’m sure it wasn’t from the keg, it wouldn’t have made it through the poppets. It just hopped in your mug and accidentally got hammered - and lord knows WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE, earwig

I have the all rounder and have found that tapping the side of the fermenter right where the pickup filter is seems to move it down in the liquid and tap sediment free when it plugs. Tapping with my fingertip is often effective but I’ve had to use something heavier and harder at times - like...

Apricot, peach sour - 4 more weeks of aging! Centennial Blonde - almost there, just waiting on the sulfur odor to mellow Czech pils, just started active fermentation after a scary 36hr lag with tons of repitched 34/70

Unless you’re vegan or vegetarian. Or have friends who are those things and like your beer ;)
