For a second I thought you used a pound of lactose and were confused why your fg was so high :) My mash schedule tends to be a bit more like Noob Brewers but I usually hold around 147 for an hour and don't raise it that high in the end. Maybe I should try that more often. Anyway, how is...

I'm not sure because it doesn't give a percentage breakdown on the bag. It is the last ingredient listed on the bag so absolute max would be 16%. It looks to be almost entirely rolled grains. Very little small particles. So I'd guess much lower than 16%.

Any thoughts on using Bob's Red Mill 5 Grain Hot Cereal? https://www.bobsredmill.com/5-grain-rolled-cereal.html It is, "freshly milled from a blend of premium whole wheat, rye, barley, oats, triticale, and flaxseed meal." I foud this at the store and thought about throwing a pound or two in...

I received almost 60 lbs (27kg) of grains and about a pound of hops. I didn't think this would be possible due to covid restrictions and lockdowns where I live, but I'll be damned if it didn't show up today. I'm set for at least a few planned brews... A double NEIPA, a RIS, a fruited sour. So...

16 sodiums walk into a bar, who walks in next? Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na... Batman!

None taken! I didn't mean any offense either. Apologies if I came across as being rude. I was just trying to be very clear. I really appreciate your input and I'll be sure to update with my findings. I'll probably just treat it like a warmer fermenting US-05 and see where that takes me. My...

I guess I wasn't very clear. I understand how to calculate attenuation. And yes, 1.100 down to 1.025 is my stated goal. I was wondering if you came up with that number from experience with the yeast actually attenuating to 74% in high gravity beers or if you just stated the number based on the...

Care to share any details on OG, FG, and temps?

Gravity seems to have stopped dropping at 1.012 on my sugar cane sour so I pulled a tasting sample. My initial impression is that it's quite tasty. I used lots of wheat malt and some Vienna malt in this one (just to use up what I had on hand) and I think it worked. It's giving some flavors...

Yeah, I'm not trying for orange, but I certainly wouldn't dump the batch if Kveik gave off some orange flavors. I tried a full on orange chocolate RIS from Southern Tier that was decent. A quick Google search reveals several more from Bourbon County, Breckenridge Brewery, and others. Of course...

I'm OK with or without the orange. Just curious though, how did you come up with the 74% attenuation number? I understand that a high OG beer won't attenuate as much. Have you ever brewed any high OG beers with this yeast to base that attenuation number on? My recipe, which is very similar to...

I'm planning a Russian imperial stout brew, still a few weeks out, but hoping to get some advice here. Is this a good yeast choice for the style? What temperature should I ferment at? How about mash Temps? I'd like to get around 10% ABV but want it finish around 1.025 so it's not too sweet...

I just read the abstract and was reminded that I need to aim just a touch high on my final gravity to accommodate for a little hop creep. Something I have experienced a bit of. Thanks for the reminder!

How does this sound for my hop schedule? 14 oz total (5 oz in whirlpool, 9 oz dry hops) Both whirlpool and dry hop addition in a 3:2:1 ratio of Nelson Sauvin:Moutere:Galaxy So that would be something like this. Whirlpool: 2.5 oz Nelson Sauvin 1.7 oz Moutere 0.8 oz Galaxy Dry hops: 4.5 oz...

Yes, actually, and I didn't really know why... I was kind of hoping the sugar cane had some sort of super fining powers that made everything floc together in the boil and my beer would be super clear :) Probably not though from what you are saying. I guess time will tell. On a different note...

Thanks for the feedback! I'll let you know what I settle on.

The sugar cane juice that I got (fresh/raw) measured about 1.080 but I'm not convinced this is a completely accurate reflection of the sugar in the juice. I added the 5L to the boil and just rolled with it. Online nutrition data suggests it's about 13% sugar, which would equate to about 650g...

I took almost a year off but I'm back at it again. Brewed my most recent (20L) batch with 5L (1.25 gallons) of sugar cane juice added to the boil. Sugar cane juice is seasonal where I live so I was excited to give this a try before it was too late. As far as I can tell, it's mostly sucrose so...

I didn't get any responses so I just purchased Nelson Sauvin and Moutere. Does anyone have any experience using either or both of these along with Galaxy? Possible recommendations on quantities that I should be using? I brewed the Galaxy/Mosaic/Citra NEIPA and followed the lead of more...

I'm finally back to brewing after a long hiatus and hoping you can give me some advice about NZ hops. I have some galaxy hops that I'll be using and wanted to pair them with one or two NZ hops. I considered Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Moutere, wai-iti, Kohatu (because I think I can get most of...
