    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I had the same issue with clogging poppets. I tried using one of those tri clamp gaskets that has a filter, which worked but clogged quickly. In December I moved over to this massive filter, which has made the process a lot smoother. My only issue is that I don't like all that weight hanging off...

    This was a recommendation for a NEIPA.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Yea I think this would give you a good idea. I had suspected that my Nelson was bad after I made a batch with it and it tasted awful. This test definitely confirmed that that bag of hops was no good. Better than screwing up 5 more gallons.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I had a few pounds of new hops from the YVH Black Friday sale, and some random ones I wanted to compare. I decided to do the old “dry hop some tasteless beer” test. Methodology: I dumped some beer out, then added 5g to each can and screwed the cap back on. Left the cans for about 36 hours at...

    What yeast do you typically prefer, 1272?

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Voss will give some orange notes, so if you want that it’s great, if you don’t I would recommend another yeast. If you are adjusting your ph, I believe kveik drops the ph more than LAIII or similar British ale yeasts, so you might not need to adjust down so much to prepare for the dry hop...

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    Following up on this setup - so far I’ve only dumped trub/yeast, but it’s been working very well. Close the top valve and open the bottom, no wort punching through, and I also know exactly how much each dump will remove (700ml).

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    Here’s what I’m going to try next time. Need to think about it a bit more since it extends low enough that I can’t use my elbow without undoing it. Should be too much of an issue though.

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    I’ve considered this, I actually tried with an air hammer held up to it, but it sprays oil everywhere so I quickly abandoned that. I’m also slightly hesitant to google vibrators 😂, but if anyone has a good suggestion of what to use I’m all ears.

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    lol good point. They are polished, but i bought mine used, so i was wondering if i could improve upon it.

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    Yea I'm probably spending too much time/beer trying to get all of it out. I currently use a sight glass and stop dumping if I think that the beer is punching through, then try again later. I'm hoping that this diy collection vessel and maybe dropping the temp a little colder will help.

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    I just bought another 2in butterfly valve so that I could create my own collection vessel with a sight glass. So it will be [fermenter cone - valve - sight glass -valve] We'll see how it works out! I was just disgusted to only get 3 gallons out of a 6.5 gallon batch. I also dry hopped with...

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    Seems like it could work, maybe use silicone tubing for its floppyness? Side note - what rod bearings are in your avatar pic?

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    I would purge the sight glass before. In my never ending quest to brew really good NEIPAs, I've been very careful not to let any oxygen get in.

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    That’s when you just open up the dump valve into your glass and enjoy!

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    I’ve considered making a diy collection jar like this [valve - sight glass - valve], which would serve the same purpose, maybe ill give that a shot.

    Polishing Fermenter Cone? Losses due to yeast dumping

    I've got a Spike CF5 and I'm generally brewing NEIPAs with LAIII yeast. After fermentation, I like to dump the yeast prior to dry hopping. Generally I will drop the temp to 60° for 1-2 days to help the yeast flocculate. Lately I've had massive loses while trying to get all the yeast out. I also...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Glad to hear I’m not the only one! This is the first genuinely undrinkable batch I’ve had in a long time.

    I’ll be on a similar time frame if you wouldn’t mind sharing with me as well!
