    Diacetyl with Kveik at low fermentation temps?

    Has anyone experienced increased diacetyl with the Kveik at low fermentation temps? I just brewed an APA with 2-row, pilsner, and catapils, Omega Yeast’s Hornindal Kveik and Strata hops. Pitched the yeast at 90 F and fermented at room temp so it fell to 72 F after about 30 hours. It stayed...

    Is this wild yeast or bacteria?

    Is this wild yeast or bacteria?

    I need an expert to help me identify these colonies as wild yeast or bacteria. This is an attempt to isolate wild yeast from plants in my garden. Besides the mold contaminants, there are clusters of round, pinkish-white colonies. I suspect bacteria but hopeful I isolated some wild yeast. Any...

    IPAs have been tasting sweet

    Good point, I forgot about the esters. I bet using something like Chico wouldn't do it.

    Ha, so true. That's how we all got into IPAs in the first place right?

    IPAs have been tasting sweet

    I think you're right about the ibus. I have been adding a smidgen of salt after reading that it can accentuate flavors. Some exBEERiment about it. But maybe it is making the sweetness stand out.

    IPAs have been tasting sweet

    I've recently picked up some sweet notes in my IPAs and I'm not sure where it is coming from - if anything, my most recent IPAs should be dryer than my previous batches. Here are some stats - OG: 1.058 FG: 1.010 IBU:40 ABV: 6.3% Mash pH 5.3 Grainbill 92% 2-Row (blacklands malt) 5% C-20 3%...

    ***NEW PRODUCT*** Ultimate CO2 harvester kit

    Hey @Jaybird, my silicone tubing that was emersed got bleached by my starsan liquid. Should I be worried it will eventually deteriorate?

    Has anyone vacuum sealed yeast slurry? Is it too hard on the yeast?

    Fwiw, I use polypropylene bottles and "autoclave" them in a pressure cooker for 15 mins at 15 psi. They're cheap on Amazon.

    Anyone want to sell me a WiFi Temp controller PID?

    I haven't been able to find one online, but I'm looking for a WiFi Temp Controller PID with outlets for cooling and heat. I want to be able to automatically control temp with output for heat/cooling but would also like to see the temp and control both heating and cooling in real time over...
