In the process of building three sankey keg fermenters using the NorCal brewing solutions sankey keg kit with a diy glycol unit for temp control. I Have all the parts to weld but before I drop them off for that Im in the process of deciding between wrapping the kegs with a 50ft 1/2in copper coil...

If we're talking about a nice New England IPA then yes I would agree with above but I believe OP wanted to know about the double milkshake IPA whatever the flavor. With out adding fruit and lactose to the boil you will not achieve the mouthfeel your talking about. Not including the fruit and...

I think the mouth feel your talking about it is something other than water chemistry or hops. After trying to come up with my own version of this beer I found a few blog post, interviews etc.... that the culprit is pectin. Here is a link to something that might lead you on the right path...

Yeah well it all tastes the same and they suck. Now "not your fathers" that's classic Americana.

Dear god I found one. https://untappd.com/b/great-lakes-brewery-root-beer-of-all-evil-stout/264883

What about a whiskey barrel aged root beer?

Maybe a hard root beer. I heard there really popular right now.

Hipsters are meant for mockery. They will be the blight of craft.

They have moved to the sour section of your local bottle shop. It will be getting out of hand shortly.

I remember when it was one of the few things on the shelf. I don't think we should make the comparison of a bewery founded in 1873 that turned its self into a billion dollar business to the trends of the craft beer scene. A long way from what? The lack of selection years ago? Beer is no...

I wasn't complaining about the style of beer. That being sours in general. I definitely was complaining about the trend. I didn't actually say I disliked sours at all. That being said, I took a couple friends that are just getting into beer and from there observation it was definitely sour...

I sell for a distributor that has some of these said beers in the line up. It's unbelievable the lengths I've seen someone go through to get there hands on the "limited release" beers.

Coming to a town near you. This guy.....

I think this boils down to the new American idea that anything European or vintage has to be better. We stand around reconfirming the mediocrity for the sake of not being looked down upon by others who are just as confused as to why everyone thinks the basil, sage infused farmhouse aged in...

Sorry to hear that. I know it seems I'm bashing the whole thing but it was a blast and there were some great breweries and beers represented. The little Cantillon demo i had the chance to taste was awesome for sure.

Maybe my wording is inappropriate "craze" seems to have struck a nerve. I was more trying to point out the trendy nature of the craft industry that I was seeing all weekend. One Brewer has some pretty good success reviving the saison, then 10 others breed from that. It was the mediocrity that...

I totally disagree I believe most if not all great breweries focus on a particular style, master it, then move on to something different of course brewing other beer while doing this. I don't mind saison at all I had some pretty phenomenal ones while at the festival. What I don't like is the...

Completely agreed about the ipa trend. I do appreciate a nice sour, I would dare to say I appreciate all beer styles I may not particularly care for some but I can appreciate the process after learning how to brew myself. It seemed more that every hipster in suspenders pouring the all local...

Just got back from Shelton bros. craft festival in St Petersburg poured my self a double simcoe clone and began to wonder what I had just taken part of. Honestly I didn't imagine the saison craze had gotten this intense. Every brewery represented it seems had at least one saison barrel aged in...

I checked on it yesterday afternoon krausen layer was forming so everything I believe is fine.
