    Fellowship of the Homebrew XI: Stay Home, Stay Safe, Drink Up and Brew On!

    Yeah, very appealing and diverse offers. Should be an easy draft though

    Fellowship of the Homebrew XI: Stay Home, Stay Safe, Drink Up and Brew On!

    this is my first time in fellowship so I don’t know the protocol, but I’ll be honest,I would rather have more time to create a desired pick list based on draft order and available offers. Anyone else?

    Hasn't made a post on any forum in almost two months. Has anyone heard from him at all?

    Crazy active 48 hours now Zero co2 bubbles yet massive krausen remains?

    Yes, all ale yeast is top fermenting, but few strains act differently...LAIII is one of them. Allow me to be clear that after the krausen has fallen with yeasts like this one, yeast remains afloat and keeps surface tension high, not allowing gas to be released. It definitely happens, and...

    Crazy active 48 hours now Zero co2 bubbles yet massive krausen remains?

    I recently had a similar issue with east coast Ale yeast, that is remarkable similar to LAIII These are both "true-top" yeasts...that will rest for quite a while before flocculating and falling. If I were a betting man, I would say that you don't have a leak, but instead...you had yeast...

    Using LME

    This is an interesting conversation and I am enjoying it quite a bit. There are some methods that I never would have considered in my early extract brewing days, specifically not boiling the malt extract at all. I read (somewhere) that most high AA hops require some complex sugars to enhance...

    Make IPA Clear Again

    Whether it matters or not, it is important to note that they THINK it was a Sam Adams strain originally. When I say “they” I mean everyone outside of WL. Regardless of whether it was developed by Sam Adams or not, we can consider it similar to Chico. One strain was manipulated and altered over...

    Make IPA Clear Again

    I do, but apparently you don’t realize that white labs reformulated the strain to produce haze. Nice try, but know what you are saying before you call someone out 😂

    Make IPA Clear Again

    Eye roll all you want I suppose, but this is what it looked like after sparge... It was meant to be hazy, but I made a perfectly clear wort People hate on it because they think it’s a flaw, it isn’t a flaw, it’s intended...and the yeast that do this, make wonderful and flavorful products

    Make IPA Clear Again

    Trigger warning I brewed my own variant of the Pangaea Proxima Polar IPA for big brew day, and included WLP008 for haze 5 days later and it’s fully attenuated, it’s smooth and crisp. It’s gonna be wonderful, and who says hazies have to be a certain color. Come at me

    Make IPA Clear Again

    Yeah I know it. Its a delicate balance with that brew...was absolutely incredible and hands down the best thing I have made to date. My traditional quad was close, but that beer was lights out. Interestingly enough I split it into two batches. The other half was apricot and the base tasted...

    Make IPA Clear Again

    Speaking on the "requirements" for an IPA...I recently entered my New Mexico Hatch Chile 259 IBU IPA into a competition. I received 42/50...but with a 259 IBU IPA, the most resounding remarks from the three judges was that there was "zero hoppiness" or "zero bitterness", and had I claimed...

    Seeking gas valve recommendations

    Just realized it said natural gas. 3/4 in line is pretty much the same for natural gas as propane, but you probably have a bigger line than 3/8 if you’re running natural gas. To have your 320k burners actually Brodie 320k you’ll need at least 1 inch gas supply line, but then of course you run...

    Seeking gas valve recommendations

    Can I just say that your burner might be rated at 320k btu...but unless you are using 3/4 inch supply line, you will never reach 320k BTU because that’s what it takes to provide that many BTUs 3/4 inch line is good for 300k over a 10 foot line, and line size below 10ft is no longer linear. I’m...

    What are you drinking now?

    HB Summer Solstice — Tropical IPA coming in at 11.4% I believe I’ve shared this one before but it’s clearing up nicely, and getting extremely smooth and tropical fruit forward. Big fan of Omega Tropical Ale yeast after this one.

    Make IPA Clear Again

    I’m glad you said this. Your first remark is spot on. It’s a hard style to nail, and people are judging like it’s super easy to make a hazy beer...well it’s super easy if you make mistakes, it’s extremely difficult to perfect. Your second remark, I completely agree with. I have resorted to...
