Bought ingredients for an easy extract pale ale with Centenntial and Cascade, and using Voss kveik. Hoping to brew tomorrow! Excited to try out my Tilt hydrometer for the first time

Ardent Brewing in RVA. Pleasantly surprised by the saison and the Virginia common

HB Citra pale with Voss kveik. And before that a SN Oktoberfest

I bought a case of 1/2 liter swing tops from my LHBS and hated them. Easier to bottle, but the beer never fully carbonated or would ruin the flavor/aroma of a hoppy beer. I love my red swing top capper. It's actually an upgrade from my first capper that required a hammer to bend the caps on...

Need a bottle opener in a hotel room? The latch strike plate on the bathroom door frame usually works

Yes, this ^ Everyone wants grain to glass in 6 days, and I think my issues have been the taste of the Voss yeast itself. Then again, I reread my tasting notes from the blonde ale I really enjoyed and it says "got a little funky at the end." So *shrug* I dunno lol Trying another Voss batch this...

Was cleaning under the deck with my dad as a kid and we got to a huge stack of paper/cardboard garden trays. He pulled a big section up and unearthed a massive yellow jacket nest :confused: we ran up and down the yard and eventually jumped into the swimming pool to get away from those f*ckers

Commercial Citra pale ale :)

I've used Lalbrew Voss a handful of times now, always with a very apparent orangey flavor and smell. The best one was a blonde ale with Triumph hops, the others were pales and IPAs with citrusy hops and were meh. My latest brew was a Citra pale with Voss and it's solidly okay lol. Maybe I should...

I was doing 2.5 gal batches with 10 qts in my 12 qt BK and whatever was left into a smaller 6 qt pot. So for me it was a pretty small portion of the final volume that I omitted the hops from. If you're truly splitting half and half, you may find a difference in perceived bitterness in your final...

Pretty sure you're describing the Texas Two step method :) I would add my last few quarts from the mash tun to a separate pot, but only add hops to my main kettle. About 15 minutes from the end I would start boiling my 2nd runnings to sterilize, chill it in an ice bath, and then add it to the...

I'm not sure if you included this earlier or not, but how many volumes of CO2 did you input in the priming sugar calculator? Most American beers are 2.3-2.6 vol, but some European styles are much lower or much higher depending. And +1 to entering the highest temperature the beer has been post...

HB Citra pale

Mango Smooooooovie. It's tasty

If you're up for it it'd be interesting to read your tasting notes from this experiment, cheers!

How mustard-y is it?

It's a mixture of nitrogen and CO2 for you to serve your beers "on nitro". It's not pure nitrogen, so it's called beer gas

Zombie Dust on tap

I bottled it, so it's still conditioning and I can't speak for the final product. The samples post fermentation were very citrusy and bitter, just what I was going for. I fermented in the mid 90s F initially, and it lowered to mid 80s by day 4 or 5 (no temp control except for a wool blanket and...
