If you are looking for an overwhelming "orange" character...I think Minnesota Axe Julius is a great standalone hop for this purpose

That...is the darkest "Quad" i have ever seen. I don't believe its a quad by any means. Who made this and called it a quad? Wrong color, wrong clarity, wrong head color...I am just confused by it being called a Quad

i guess to touch on a few points: Early additions were to increase bitterness that would be counteracted by the sweetness of the lactose and overall flavor bursting of the 108, centennial, and motueka The coconut purée is from a gourmet restaurant supply store. Secondary was to get the wort...

It’s my 2nd year at NHC, of course both of my brews got made into hand sanitizer this year. Sad sad days, but some of the best hand sanitizer one could ask for I suppose. I was really peeved about this year, by brew was about as unique as they come

Can I get in?

Someone provide some clarity for me if you will: Is this for trading homebrews or commercial brews?

I cant really say with any certainty...I just predict that is what is occurring because it isn't enough priming sugar to be indicative of over-priming, and in my limited experience, fully attenuated lagers don't have that aspiration evidence on the yeast cake in the bottle. It really appears to...

I use the Stout 1bbl (or actually 40gallon) conical with cooling lid. I love it! I also have two Spike conicals, a 5 gallon flex and a CF15 (who knows what batch size I am going to do next!)

I’m not going down this road again so I will close with this If he is having excessive rousing of yeast when he opens the bottle, and we see what this bottle looks like, chances are what I said is accurate. he provided enough information to show that he did not over prime, and there isn’t...

I love my 1bbl stainless fermenter, but I hate not seeing my beer. It’s one of those things...sometimes I stop and don’t worry because I can’t see it, other times I just really want to see through the stainless wall for peace of mind! I guess seeing it has been a crutch and really allows you to...

An unopened bottle with multiple CO2 sites. The cake appears to have started releasing gas while in the bottle

Lager yeast bottom ferments. It wasn’t finished attenuating. Hence rousing the yeast started a second fermentation. look at the yeast cake in his bottle.

Sorry I missed that in your answer previous. I believe your beer went through a second fermentation (lager being a bottom fermenter). I bet you have a potential for bottle bombs, only from this second fermentation trying to occur but having no usable oxygen. This is all speculation, but from...

ahhh makes much more sense now that I see the shadow!

I really think Enigma is a powerhouse honestly and it will take time for people to realize that its white grape skin flavor is way more prominent than Nelson. I did a SMaSH with Enigma and viking 2-row and the flavor was absolutely astounding both from hosptand and dryhop. As far as pineapple...

and what seems to be a dog ear? Now we are just nitpitcking

Dude...its absolutely beautiful. Well executed man

Question: OG 1.02? Statement: That krausen looks suspect, and its typically hard to have an infection during this portion of fermentation. Statement: Is that a racking cane of sorts? If so, why is it directly in the krausen, or why did you rack when it was high krausen?
