Dry hopped my "Kitchen Sink" IPA, my shameless attempt to clear out my frozen hop inventory. Dry hopped with a mix of Centennial, Chinook, Willamette and even a little Warrior. Cheers.

My mother tells me I have to stop making breakfast puns. If I keep doing it, I'm toast. My brother keeps egging me on. He's such a ham.

Good topic. I might be in the minority here but I've been a White Labs guy for many years. Just great, consistent results for me. Most used: wlp001 Cal Ale, wlp002 English Ale, wlp007 Dry English Ale, and for lagers wlp830 German lager and wlp833 Bock. I've tried many other White Labs...

I'd let it ride. They're wet now, no point fishing them out IMO. You might end up with a little less aroma than if they went in after fermentation, but it'll still be good. RDWHAHB. 😁 Cheers.

I bought a sweater that was picking up way too much static electricity ... so I returned it. They gave me a replacement, free of charge.

Honestly, with a good vacuum seal in the freezer, I wouldn't limit them to 1 year. I think you could get several years out of them if stored well. If you're using them for late addition or dry hopping, you might not get as fresh a bouquet out of them after a few years, but for bittering or...

Brew day today! "Kitchen Sink" IPA ... an attempt to clean out my freezer of hops and my fridge of yeast. This one has 6 types of hops (breaking my own "rule of 3"), and a blend of Chico and English yeasts. 12 hours post-pitch and we're rockin' . We'll see how it turns out. Cheers.

Most of the time I'm brewing hoppy beers so I just leave the hop bag(s) in the kettle until the wort is cool. Maximize the flavor extraction, I figure. But I don't squeeze them like @Miraculix does ... seems too messy to me. 😁 Rock on.

Yeast starter night! "Kitchen Sink" IPA being brewed this weekend ... an every-so-often Frankenstein beer to clean out my on-hand inventory. Using a blend of Chico and English ESB yeasts ... just because. Cheers.

When my grandma turned 65, she started walking 10 miles a day. Now she's 82 ... and we have no idea where she is.

Funny that a few of you mentioned grammar; when I read his posts, it was not uncommon for me to get confused, unable to figure out what he exactly he was trying to say. I'd shrug and move on. I didn't interact with him directly, and I did not know him, but I will miss his presence; he was...

Has anyone used second or third (or more) generations of BRY-97? I'm been a liquid yeast guy for years and I've heard some dry yeast users say that the results improve in gen 2 and beyond. Any experience with this? Thanks.

Bottled my Surly Furious clone - Jeffurious - this afternoon during happy hour. Continued to use the techniques I picked up from members of this site the last few years: direct connect of the bottling wand to my Fermonster's spigot; fill bottles to within ~3/4" of the top of the bottle...
