I saw Microsoft in the name and stopped there, lol. Looks like I have a lot to learn, been away from development for many years.

@Thorrak First Thank You so much for this wonderful gadget! I am trying to put another one together for a friend from leftover parts. I have the pinout worked out but need to customize the Platform.io as you described above. Is there an alternative way to do this without VSCode? I only have a...

@anteater8 sorry if I missed it but what yeast did you use? @bailey mountain brewer what year Galaxy are you using? Is Galaxy Back?🤞

My YVH package just arrived today. Planning to do same hops. What kind of ratios are you using?

@day_trippr You seem to have a handle on nitro stouts. My Irish extra stout is finished fermenting. I bottled some for sharing and will transfer the rest to a purged serving keg. Looking at the chart I was planning on 68F and 6-7 PSI CO2. Is there any issue with it sitting at that temperature...

There was another recent thread on old slurry. It never mentioned the grey stuff. I have seen that before and didn't risk using it. I hope someone with more information on the grey stuff chimes in.

Thanks @Dgallo I really didn’t intend to get back in this thiol game again but I grabbed the wrong yeast. Guess I am too cheap to cut my losses! I will brew this one and see what happens. If it is a thiol bomb it will get dumped.

Thanks for the link, I missed that one. They say that "recent research indicates that whirlpool additions significantly contribute to increased precursors concentration in the wort." The recipe they give uses a 60 min whirlpool but pretty low dosage of hops. Maybe it is more time related?

Yes, I agree! It's been several years since I used Cosmic Punch but recall it wasn't a thiol bomb. I have searched to see if WLP-077 is more comparable to Cosmic Punch or the patB strains, no info. Being naturally selected strains hopefully it is not to good at converting thiols, lol. Still on...

White Labs site is having issues, here is the recipe: Brew our 10th Anniversary Hazy IPA fermented with Est. ABV: 7.7% OG: 1.070 FG: 1.010 IBUs: 45 Pale Malt - 2 Row 7 lb 11 oz (3.5 kg) Wheat - White Malt 3 lb (1.4 kg) Oats - Flaked Mash 1 lb 12 oz (0.8 kg) Carapils Malt 11 oz (0.3 kg) Mash In...

I've been searching for threads about White Labs Tropicale yeast WLP-077. There are threads from when it was announced but none really have good details. It is a non-GMO Thiolized yeast. Apparently I grabbed the wrong yeast, meant to get WLP-067 Costal Haze. I am trying to figure out what to...

Thanks for all the replies. I wasn't worried about skunking since the fermentor is in a chest freezer, I assume that would prevent it. I can't add a second TC, should have mentioned this is a SS Brewtech Bucket with the domed lid, no room. Well, maybe it could be welded on but not interested in...

More details, I plan on putting holes in the cap for gas and liquid posts as well as a PRV. The stainless cap I have has those already and working great, but I want to see inside. Seems as though polycarbonate will be easier to drill, acrylic says it can chip. Is the higher level of Oxygen...

Looking for a clear tri-clover cap, so I can see in my stainless fermenter. I have found both Polycarbonate and Acrylic. Which one is less Oxygen permeable? Is the difference enough to matter? Any other reasons to pick one over the other? Thanks!

@Matteo57 can you elaborate on your cosmic punch experience? I tried it when it came out and thought it added a little something. I have since tried the newer PatB versions and they add too many thiols. Just tried Vossa Nova, fermented at 95 to help reduce thiols. Also 2 oz/gal dry hop to...

Awesome, EXACTLY what I wanted to hear!

@ghettoworm What style/recipe did you use? How did it turn out? Not much out there on this yeast.

I brewed my Festbier this week also with Diamond Lager. Fermenting warm at 66-68.

Thank you all for this thread! I have been wanting to brew a lager with rice and this has answered my questions. Does anyone care to share a good Japanese style lager recipe?

Well not sure if they are already in the mix. I have made some that had you add oil or eggs, wouldn't do that. Just use the dry mix.
