    RO Water TDS

    Exactly what I do using Brewfather software. Use phosphoric acid. So far I only add it to my pre-mash ( Biab method, no sparging) water for my NEIPA. Not to by regular IPAs , ales.

    Height of Ss brew tech chronicle 2.0?

    Hi all, can anybody tell me the exact height of the Ss brew tech chronicle 2.0 up to the top of dome entry port EXCLUDING any off the accessories? The website only gives me a height of 35 inches not specifying what is included in the height. I hope it is less then 35 inches excluding the...

    Safale us 05 vs baker's yeast?

    I once brewed more than my fermenter could hold, so I fermented this brown ale side my side. One batch with S04 and a left over 1 gallon with bread yeast. My brewing club preferred the bread yeast! So yes, it is certainly possible. As said would not try this with an ipa. But a malty...

    Have not changed much in my dry hopping. If any change I changed back and forth to rule things out. And yes I agree, having now also looked at all the feedback I got on this forum ( many thanks every one) ; I think it is a hop issue. With my latest west coast ipa the strange smell got much...

    No. Have not done that. Might do that. I was wondering about the seal and casing. Where do you get extra ones? Didn’t know you could replace them.

    The issue is that they don’t smell cheesy and I have not changed my hops storage and had good results before. Plus I use the same storage if my previous home brew ground ( in vermont) who makes great IPAs and even neipas in bottles!

    Process; Always use RO water and match minerals with profile of beer. BIAB on gas burner. Mash at relatively constant temps mostly around 152 degrees. Normally loose 2 degrees in temp. Use hopstands for my iPAs at around 175 degrees. Use Ss brew tech fermenter. Can control fermentation...

    I will check my tubing. And will try hops from different sources. I buy 8-16 oz quantities. Have repackaged them in vacuum sealed smaller quantities. And also have kept them in Mylar original bags, squeezing out air. Always kept in freezer.

    Thanks. Will try that. Always good to try another source. Which suppliers did/do you use?

    Different ones. Lallemand east coast , S04, Verdant. But indeed I didn’t change anything in My procedures. So why the change in smell ??

    Off flavor and taste-Help

    Yes. The move was a bit excessive😉. I mostly buy my ingredients from more beer. So reputable. Personally I still think the issue is in my hops or fermentation. I measure my FG with a tilt. I mostly hit FG target or 1 or 2 points above. Use only dry yeast, sprinkle it on the wort. One pack...

    Off flavor and taste-Help

    Yes you are right. That is why I started ruling out other things first. My British ale just a month ago was maybe my best ever. And the smell gets less over time. So that is why I’m also not convinced it is an infection. My common hops for my ipa are various combination of citra Mosaic, el...

    I think as suggested I need my beer tasted by some people who have a more educated palate particular around off flavors. As I wrote, I had that chance before I moved away from Vermont, where i was surrounded by knowledgeable home and pro brewers. ☹️ I will see if some of the breweries around...
