took me a little over 2 hours, start to finish, to get that half-gallon ferment together. i cut all the peppers in half, toss the stem & top, and scrape out 95% of the insides. ingredients, in approximate order of weight: tap water (low mineral), habaneros, pineapple, red jalapenos, garlic...

galaxy/strata or citra/strata sound really nice, IMO.

a 1:1:1:1 mix of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy and Strata is going to be... intense. you know how the Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd had that wall of sound? that mix will be a wall of hop flavor :) pretty much every area will be covered... i wouldn't expect anything to punch through, rather it'll be a...

anecdote: i was gifted a brew day recently, but didn't have a great selection of yeast on hand so i pinged my local brewery to see if they were dumping any yeast. brewer didn't get back to me in time so i made do with various dry yeasts and a kveik. the following week the brewer writes back...

love seeing the grows! unfortunately here in the PNW peppers don't do very well. i'm on the border between zones 8 and 9, thanks to elevation. our summers are hot but i fear not quite long enough. that, and all the wildlife would ravage them... bought ingredients for my next batch of...

here to add another anecdotal story about CM beers holding up their aroma very well over time. i just kicked my last keg of CP IPA and it still had a very strong aroma, and less fading of the flavor than i expected. looking forward to doing a side-by-side with its parent, British V (OYL-011)...

dream come true!

Onomatopoeia

i was going to save some from my first, and to date only, batch - but i looked at my calendar and realized it would be a long time before i had the opportunity to brew again, got lazy, and said "Eff it - i'll just buy a fresh pitch". i'd also be interested in hearing if other folks experienced...

i brewed this batch and am now drinking the beers, but thanks to a few screw-ups i don't think i can use these beers to evaluate much about the Cosmic Punch. brew day was a disaster: recipe issues (accidentally added too much wheat) and an unfortunate decision to wrap to add a bag to my screen...

he came really close to crossing over to the otter side.

my take: two things happen during lagering the beer slowly completes fermentation, clean up leftover byproducts, etc. clarification #1 is probably not needed by warm-fermented beers: higher temps = more active yeast = clean-up completed in primary (think of it as a diacetyl rest on steroids)...

it's called the instagram effect: you do illogical things in order to get a better picture. i'll bet dollars to doughnuts that these people don't fill their sample tubes all the way to the top when they're not going to take a pic.

y'all are so wholesome, referring to those inverted & splayed puppies as "turkeys"... in this household, it's called the porn star pose.

you can also purchase dip tubes, separately, and swap them out depending on how you're going to use the keg.

yes, if your dip tube is cut then it will leave star san behind - just like it would leave beer (and ideally trub) behind. personally, i have "serving kegs" where the dip tube goes to the very bottom (leaves behind a spoonful of beer at most), vs. "fermenting kegs" and "bright kegs", etc...

awesome, thanks for the update! another project would be to create a table of contents document that lists the characteristics of each drawing: # pumps, # elements, BIAB yes/no, controller (single PID< 2 PID, BCS, etc.)... right now someone would need to download every image and sort through...

ah, silly me... i thought maybe he could see it because he's a mod, whereas us plebes didn't have permission to view :ghostly:
