honestly, how does a keg of a good NEIPA stay longer than 3 weeks much less over a month!?? mine usually kick around the second weekend (MAYBE 1/2 of a third week) I have it on tap, but then again, I do have a couple neighbors that like to come have 1 or 2 :)

I use a SS Brewtech bucket. this has a valve at the bottom, but above the trub level from which I can pull samples from along the way. Since I use a refractometer, I only need a tiny sample, and then plug this into my calculator to adjust for the alcohol to get a good reading. When I get a...

I do have an old jocky box I suppose I can dismantle and use the 50' coils in that....as I was just informed by my wife lol

yes, I was thinking of say about 10ft of silicone tubing just floating in my HLT as a make shift HERMS coil essentially.

So, As the title says, I am wondering if anyone has recirculated through some high temp silicone tubing through the MLTto keep or increase mash temp. I am losing close to 10 degrees from dough in to the 60 min mark using an SS Infusion mash tun, and before I sink another $150 into a stainless...

Ok, I decided to post it here just in case anyone else wants to see it. To start, I use 100% RO (or distilled works) water. I add all of my salts in the mash, and then I add my sparge salts in my HLT AFTER I have pulled my mash volume up. If you dont use RO and simply use your tap water, you...

I have an EXCELLENT one that I brewed just a month ago and kicked the keg in 4 days. It was more imperial teritory (8.4%) but the taste was spot on without being too hot. I will post the recipie later tonight when I get off. It is a tried and trued recipie that pleases alot of people, even...

Well, I may get blasted on here for this, but having made quite a few of these, I find the haze is just simply there from the procedure and not necessarily what you put into it. What I mean by that is the brewing technique, the dry hopping timeline, etc just not necessarily the grist. For...

Damn it i miss these:(

the tricky part is waiting the 6 days or so after to get the taste lol

no. I brew on Saturday mornings, and dry hop on Monday nights with almost every NEIPA I do. sometimes I add a second dry hop 4 days later, sometimes I dont, just depends, but I do all my dry hopping in the primary on these, and only transfer to a secondary if I HAVE to now.

has the krausen fallen all the way back down? I use this yeast on just about every beer I make, I absolutly love it. having that said, I have seen what I thought was a stall, but I just gave it about 2 days and once the krausen completely dropped took another sample with a wine thief and found...

@EtchyLives so if I understand you correct, you mashed in with 16.5# of grain on a 6 gallon batch and only got to 1.068?? I feel as though that is WAY off from what it should be. What, if I may ask, did your grain crush look like, and how long and what temp did you mash in at?

just an idea, but why not roast some of your own, maybe try about 1/2# of the marris otter on a baking sheet at about 300° for a little while? just an idea though. https://www.brewcabin.com/roasting-malts/ I have been playing around with trying to make my own crystals using some excess pale I...

Interested in the flask, and the stir plate, would you be willing to combine and ship internationally to Guam? I have both a standard shipping address as well as a military FPO address if it makes it easier?

You are correct, you just simply lower the temperature on your controller and forget it :) This is the one I got, but I dont use any ball lock attachments: https://www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com/store/Ultimate-CO2-Canning-Jar-Harvesting-Kit.html For the CO2 inlet at the top, I got that as a...

This is what I use (ignore the CO2 comming into the top of the fermentor and the transfer, this is just to show the CO2 suck back thing). Before I bought the fancy stainless lids and jars from Jaybird over at Norcal, I made my own using empty gatorade bottles and drilled stoppers. The idea is...

Ill tell you the same thing i tell my neighbors lol. The name "IPA" or india pale ale comes from the history of when british Sailors would take beer in barrels out to sea to go through the East india Trading Route. The beers would spoil throughout the trip, but brewers learned that by...

I searched and couldnt find it. can you post a link to it? I love seeing how others grain bills compare to mine. On another note, One of the best I have ever had was made by Other Half brewing. I dont remember the name of the exact beer, but out here where I am over seas, there is not one...

I cold crash my NEIPAs at day 8, keg at day 9 and force carb to drink on day 10 I have now made about 15 beers of this with very good success, and have noted a very significant taste difference between the yeast strains, with the yeast bay vermont IPA being SUPER mango(ish)/guava flavored (to...
