    Strata hops

    I understand your stance, but do you think that Mosaic is only there because it has name appeal. The citra mosaic combination is frankly boring, but for about 2 years EVERYONE did it. Its time to pave the way for new guys. Enigma > Nelson El Dorado > Mosaic As far at CTZ being a 5 dollar a...

    Strata hops

    Strata is one of my new favs to be honest...its so versatile BUT even though I am not a citra fan (meanwhile I just ordered 2 kilos of citra) I wouldn't say Strata is better than citra. Columbus/CTZ on the other hand...Strata wins! Thoughts?

    New England IPA Pina Colada Oat Cream NEIPA

    I hear ya on the oats. Have you ever used an East coast or VT IPA yeast? just curious...they are awesome for haze, truly. I also hear ya on the earlier hops, but I feel like to call it a NEIPA it needs that early addition...not knocking you at all, sometimes I make a beer and call it a style...

    Pumpkin ale

    WLP300 should strongly release phenols around 72-74. I set my temp controller to 67.4°

    Specialty IPA: White IPA Summer Solstice White IPA

    Yeah I almost died when it finished itself off. it was seemingly stalled at 1.009 for quite some time. slightly “hot” but absolutely fantastic. Big big fan of this strain

    New England IPA Pina Colada Oat Cream NEIPA

    love the recipe, and I would stay with half pound of lactose. If it were me I would either switch to an East Coast IPA or Vt IPA yeast to enhance haze I also don’t think it qualifies as an IPA if it’s literally getting zero bitterness from hops. it’s intriguing to have a NEIPA with no boil...

    Fellowship of the Drink XXI: The Thread that is Old Enough to Drink Itself

    Curious as I have seen no action on this for months...but I would love to be included. I have quite a few different brews ready to go

    Strata hops

    I can dig the reason for the name. I doubt its truth, but as a physicist I will stick with a cosmic reasoning (why I paired with comet and galaxy and why my Belgian Quad is titled LeMaitre's Flocculent Spiral)

    Post your infection

    The biggest issue with your defense is that biofilm doesnt equate to pellicle. A pellicle is a thin membrane formed at the liquid-air interface. A biofilm is a thin membrane formed on a surface-air interface. If you have a pellicle, it is in fact a biofilm no matter how you slice it. If FLO11...

    Pumpkin ale

    I like a hefe yeast for pumpkin beers. Surprisingly the banana ester accentuates the pumpkin. If you roast your pumpkin, you don't need to worry about mashing for starch conversion...you will pull a lot of sugar out, and cover with sprinkled brown sugar towards the end of the roast to cover the...

    Advice Using Old Hops

    The only downfall I see, is that there is significant available research in the diminishing AA levels in older hops. You wont be able to accurately predict your IBU rating with older hops as they undergo a logarithmic decrease in volatility. Otherwise, youre good to go. Its one of the best kept...

    Coconut , cinnamon

    I would put your cinnamon sticks in the boil at about 15 left. You wont extract much from them steeping at room temp. The coconut, I would definitely do it as soon as active fermentation starts. (If you havent done this already, but Im guessing you have). Since its after the fact I would love...

    Questions of Using adjunct for stout ~

    No to cocoa powder (it makes a god awful mess) There is however a chocolate liquid that a few major breweries use...hard to find and I forget the name so I apologize in advance. Yes to cacao nibs. I would soak your nibs in a chocolate vodka, in a 4 ounce mason jar...only enough to soak the nibs...
