Lots of good advice above, but i'd offer up to go with a yeast that works with you can control. I have temp control but have basically switched all my recent IPAs over to using Kveik strains. Simple to control (by not really controlling) and they indeed let the hops shine thru. The second...

Got my renewal from BrewYourOwn with a BOGO Let me know if any one wants to split it. Would be $15 (PP F&F or Venmo)

Are you not using the COFI tube to recirculate in the mash?

@TennBrewer i'm not sure if there is a right or wrong way on the valve, but here is what i do and it's yielded me a mash efficiency in the range of 85-88%. (Please note, i've done very few 10G batches but agree with you that i don't like the water covering the basket - so the below is for 5-8G...

check this place out. i found it a few weeks ago, and love the concept of pay by the ounce. solves the whole "getting shorted" issue which i agree with OP, seems to be growing. BTW, the screens on these say the beer name, brewer, style, ABV and cost per ounce. can't be any clearer, and you...

Not letting me DM you for some reason. Curious what you're asking for the mini-regulators and the hop bags. Also, had a question on the regs, so hopefully you can DM me to start a conversation. Thx

Final update on this beer: Kegged and been on gas for 3 days. ABV came in at about 6.3% and this is probably one of my top 3 beers I've ever made. Kveik for the win !! Probably doesn't hurt that this was made with an 11 oz combo of Citra, Mosaic & Galaxy too. I think I'm gonna stay with the...

Another update: After adding more yeast, this seems to have completed at 1.016 - 1.017 (please chime in on pic as i never understand how read the right line)

This times 10. I've stopped using the top except for hoisting, and am now stirring throughout mash. I think first time I did this i saw mash efficiency jump by close to 10 percent. I used to throttle the pump back and forth thru the mash to reset the channels/grain bed, but stirring beats that...

Quick update: did a quick canned wort starter yesterday morning, and left it on the stir plate for about 12 hrs. didn't have time to decant last night so threw in about 400ml of the 1L starter last night about 10PM. Seems to have resumed a little getting down to 1.020 by 10AM this morning...

I got about 6G into the fermenter. pH was at the low end of ranges throughout the mash. 5.1 i think in the last reading i did. Also, didn't mention before but i did stress yeast by only pitching about 25-30ml of Voss. Not much lag time in it taking off though, so something definitely...

confirmed with hydrometer sample that this is at 1.024 which means this is only at 60% attenuation. Still doesn't seem right to me. This is also the first time i "free ranged" the pellet dry hops, so the sample pulled was incredibly murky. I let it chill in the fridge for an hour or so hoping...

Good golly, I hope not. Will check in the morning with hydro

Sounds like an 80s song.... But seriously, I brewed an IPA and used Voss Kveik on it (first time trying it in an IPA) Plan was to double dry hop. First with about 10pts to go and second when ferm was done and leave for 4 more days before kegging. OG of wort - 1.062 30 hrs in Kveik had it...

Not to derail further, but NorthernBrewer typically has some 15% off deal going. Case of fast pitch for about $50. equals about 2 bucks a can. way less hassle than DME starters & now that they aren't owned by Evil Corp you can buy from them with a clear conscious. EDIT: Actually a 15% deal...

Sent a code over. Use it quick as it says it expires at 8am MT

TrimTab in Birmingham makes some GREAT beers. I would put them over any others i’ve tried in B’ham area.

Got some of these Provoak pellets from HomeBrewCon but have no idea what recipe to use them in. Anybody ever use them? If so, what style did you brew? https://www.johnihaas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/BH_2018023_Provoak_Flyer_PRINT.pdf
