Yeast is what yeast needs...

LOL, Vale71, what I’m trying to say here is that you don’t need to provide oxygen via direct oxygenation of wort as long as you provide oxygen via other means (strong nutrients), again not dismissing the 100 years of research, just providing the oxygen via other means yeast can still utilize w/o...

I’ve also seen online experiments that only a few drops of olive oil are added to the wort (with no oxygenation) and that’s sufficient to provide the necessary oxygen via hydrated/saturated/unsaturated fats with no need of oxygenation to allow a healthy fermentation. Very contentious subject but...

Completely agree with Mer-man, I’ve been following the Low Oxygen brewing threads and podcasts and evidence/data collected by that team has demonstrated consistently that oxygenation throughout the entire brewing process (from grain-milling, water preparation, mash, boiling, yeast pitching and...

Agreed, as I said in my previous post it’s not a perfect process but it has worked for me extremely well and the quality of my beers have significantly improved after applying these principles, even when bottling. We could sit down and argue about O2 content of compressed CO2 and the kinetic...

Completely doable w/ no O2 presence!, I do not keg - I old school bottle all my brews including NEIPAs with a bottling bucket, wand and bottles, all my beers match or exceed commercial brews w/ no off flavors or browning of the brew’s color, NEIPA brews I have submitted for competitions place...

MrSpiffy, no need to worry on a NEIPA sitting on a yeast cake as it is perfectly fine, actually is sometimes necessary as yeast help cleanup, I’ve done it many times with no issues. However, you will be surprised as how little oxygen during transferring to secondary, bottling or kegging can be...

jrfuda, LOL, I think your problem is that the refractometer is not supposed to be used with a sample that contains alcohol (only for wort samples), after fermentation only a hydro will be accurate....

added azacca at around 10 min

This was @WWJPD recipe BIAB with gp, flaked wheat and 2-row, and some (1oz) amarillo at flameout (in addition to the other hops), also triple dry hopped where the 1st dry hop (mosaic, citra and simcoe) was added right in the middle of ferm, 2nd dry hop right after ferm was done and included...

Just bottled my third batch of the recipe posted which I used WL007 and triple dryhopped with mosaic, citra and simcoe. Mashed at about 156F and finished on target at 1.014, the aroma is a blast and haziness spot on!, including picture below

Not sure if this thread still active, if it is, few suggestions (that have worked for me) for the original post: 1) explore by adding 10% or at least 1 lb of flaked wheat to the grist, this will help with both hazyness and juicy mouthfeel 2) Consider using distilled water and adjust such...

This beer is the most awesome shelfie I've ever had. This year (2016) the beer was listed at the Lagunitas website at an OG of 1.063, 110 IBUs and 7.0%ABV (FG of 1.010). The hops listed for 2016 were approx 11lbs-per-barrel of fresh (wet hop, unkilned whole cone) Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic and...

Also I just brewed a batch #2 today and added a small amount of bravo and motueka to the mix, also changed the grains to 90% golden promise

After @armarino shared this post, I brewed a 3 gallon batch version of the recipe that WWJPD posted and the beer was amazing, I had to use azacca hops since I could not find apollo. The WY1056 did a nice job attenuating to 1.011 and the hazyness was super!, definitively recommend everyone giving...

Not sure what's the latest in this conversation but wanted to give some suggestions for juicy IPAs: 1) avoid hopstanding at all cost! many wc purist hopheads will argue this but from my experience it will leach too much bitterness, chill beer quickly and get it into the fermentor ASAP -- some...

Got plenty of tired hands only voids (regular and single origin Ethiopian coffee versions) for trade, exclusively looking for BB Swish (Oct 2016) release (to be released in a couple days), send PM if interested, cheers

Not sure if you want to boil the juice concentrate along with the water/DME, maybe pasteurizing is a better way (if it is not already or you want extra assurance) - this is one pasteurizing recommendation I found online https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-pasteurize-juice-at-home/ Another...

Thanks Tandem, I'm working with my homebrew store to see if they can get the "Uvaferm 228" through regular tube sizes by white labs serial WL727 or can get smaller portions of Uvaferm as it is available in 1 lb bags for wine makers. Maybe they can look for Pichia as well. I'm definitively...
