To add to my previous post, I bought most of the items from William's Brewing but they didn't stock the 3" - 3" butterfly valve or the three piece 3" tri-clamp, which I had to buy from Morebeer. So with luck I'll never have to use the collection jar ever again! Yea!

I bought a Fermzilla 3.0 on sale, should have bought the Gen 3.2 and paid full price as now I'm spending enough to make up the difference. The Gen 3.0 has a 3" - 2" butterfly valve. Now I've decided to do away with the dreaded collection jar. But to do so I need to buy the 3" - 3" butterfly...

I agree with using the Pill for relative changes in gravity, and I compare to EasyDens, it is very accurate IMO. Current batch EasyDens = 1.025, Pill = 1.024, that’s close enough for me. My big complaint with the Pill is temperature. My temp controller thermowell will show steady 68 degrees (f)...

Very nice. Great rise I bake every week now, here’s mine from two days ago:

I've used WLP001 liquid and it worked well, more recently I've used many different Lallemand, Fermentis dry CellarScience with equally good results. Cool that they released a dry version but still pricy when you can get some of the ones I mentioned for $5 or 3 for $10.

I saved this to my Brewfather account and will give it a try. I've done a bunch of SMaSH IPAs lately Pilsner malt and either Mosaic, Citra or others.

Brewed early yesterday morning "Pixelated Hazy w/ Phantasm powder and Omega Cosmic Punch yeast, used a ~2L starter and it took off bubbling vigorously in < 4 hours. OG 1.062

I don't keep track of # of lbs roasted. I usually roast 12 oz a couple times a week. I roast with a Behmor 1600+, 12 ounces is a practical limit for that roaster. I'm partial to African varieties mostly Ethiopia, Kenya. some Colombia and Guatemala. I buy from Sweet Maria's in Oakland, CA...

Pretty good example of a Cold IPA

Now I’m drinking Sierra Nevada Torpedo Cold IPA. I think it’s a pretty good example of a Cold IPA

My Celebration IPA, Sierra Nevada recipe, with minor variation.

No holiday decorations here:

Updated my gas regulator board and added one more inline regulator w/ball valve for counter pressure bottle filler. All Kegland components and 8mm duotight tubing

Fiddled with my Nukatap counter-pressure bottle filler. I think I've got it figured out now, last time I wasted a bunch of beer and made a mess. So I was reluctant to do it again until I thought I knew what I was doing. Bottled 3 six packs, two Hopnosis Cold IPA, one Savion Blanc IPA.

I have made it Terpene Dream three time already and I love it! I would describe it as juicy IPA. More so than most NEIPA. Previous times I used Lallemand New England yeast. Thought I’d mix it up with Star party.

I have Terpene Dream in second day ferment now, wow very active. Smells wonderful. Made a starter and it was a very fragrant.

I too got sucked into YVH 1lb sale bag. And I just bought a vacuum sealer for the same reason. But also bought a bunch of 2oz bags. I’m set for a while.

Alvarado Street Mai Tai PA. And it’s damn good

I wasn't looking for tropical flavors. that wouldn't go well with Pliny. I just wanted to enhance the hop flavors in the recipe. I'm all setup to brew in the morning and I'm using Cellar Science Cali. It was really good last time and no sense in fooling with success.

[much omitted] Well I came here hoping someone that tried Omega "Star Party" and had a positive experience. I'm planning to brew "Pliny the Elder" on Friday. I have other yeast I can use. Last time I used Cellar Science "Cali", which is less than 1/2 the price and it was awesome. I have a couple...
