Tapping out of the gas line when I give a tilt works, but ai’ll probably go ahead and transfer to some kegs over the weekend. I’ll be rocking it around and stirring up the dregs every time I take a pour otherwise, and I do want to give it a chance to clear up. Not a bad juicy beer:

I read you can’t run a mini fridge while tilted, so i’ll still use the gas’s out and stillage it into some purged smaller kegs.

Yes I got a hop torpedo parted up, but haven’t implemented just yet. Next batch for sure. I think I have a plan for transferring out. I am going to hook up a liquid line out to the gas post and try to set up a stillage to tilt the beer out. It will be tricky since I fermented in there. Not to...

A little of both, but I don’t think 10oz of sugar will distract the S05 too much, but I could be wrong. Mainly I just want to get the beer out without oxidation and/or stirring up the trub. Foaming floating dip tubes suck. The flavor of the beer is pretty close to juicy haze voodoo ranger. I...

Initially I had 1/2 a homebrew pack. I was trying to push the orange by under pitching. Then when it was stuck at 1.021 I vented and dry hopped added a full pack of S05, and primed with the hope it would flush out any C02 that snuck in. I purged also. It worked a little. The tilt is going back...

About a week maybe? But it is chilling now.

After elevating the temperatures for a few more days it was well stalled. Against my better judgement, I relieved the pressure, popped it open, fed 10oz of boiled sugar water and dumped a pack of S05, and another oz or so of citra dry hop in a sack. I sealed and flushed with some CO2. Last night...

Briess Pilsen light And M12 Usually, I add some amylase into my DME as it is warming up to a boil.. not really sure if it helps, but it slipped my mind this time. It was a big underpitch too. I read that Kveik likes it that way and I wanted to push the orange factor.

Or, maybe a combo of the 3rd and 4th options. Pour a pint to measure with classic hydrometer and give it a taste. If it really isn’t quite there yet, I’ll boil up a little sugar, add in a pack of S05, and add one last dry hop before purging and letting it carb up naturally.

I am using a tilt, which measured the OG at 1.063 and now reads 1.021. 1/2 of Kveik yeast on a 15G batch, trying to get orange esters to go with 1lb hopstand only citra hops. I have been adding hot water to the tub the 15.5G torpedo is sitting in. The fermentation seems to have stalled when the...

I have 2 Brett 5G cornys that I’ve been dumping (pressure transferring) any so-so beer or leftovers into, with a smoked white oak stave (I put one in the grill off to the side while I made ribs burgers chicken wings etc. and swap them in and out of the beer/grill) The 5G have Br-8 and “all the...

Burnt braggot + gose. I like the combo.

HB burnt braggot + gose. I like the combo.

I don’t know if I used any of the special B in this bochet/braggot, but it is hitting its stride at about a year old. It cleared out quickly with the ESB yeast cake, fully fermenting quickly under heat and pressure. I got a lot of orange from the kveik. And some sweetness whether it was from a C...

Burnt mead braggot. Pitched on a kveik ESB cake. I think about two years old by now. The oak has mellowed a bit with time, and the orange flavor from the hot kveik ferment is nice with the residual sweetness. It would probably be even better in another couple years, but will be long gone by...

The ESB is down to 1.020. Pleasantly malty and the sweetness is fading. But zero hop presence. I was trying to make low bitterness, but high aroma, and I am getting nothing. Maybe I’ll mix in a hazy little thing or two when I transfer to a serving keg. Disappointed in the hop profile, but it is...

Yes, I hear you.. I have a knack for over complicating things sometimes, but I also like getting a unique product. Even cooking dinner I can’t follow a recipe to save my life. And sometimes the results are really spectacular, but I pay the price in lack of consistency. I am going to attempt to...

I broke out some serving keg charges and dry hopper the rest. I figure I put this much effort (and hops) to give it NEPAness, I may as well lay the smack down on double dry hops. I also dosed with some powdered MJ kveik. I want this beer to stand alone.

And it weighs in at 1.026, I thought it had stalled but I think that is what I get out of this yeast. It may end up being decent mixed with some 1.004 leftover diastatic trash brew I made with old caked DME, a box of honey nut cheiros and some amalyse. I do wish it had more hops though I was...

I brewed the thing. I was trying to go a little warm and fruity but my temp got way out of hand on the M15 Empire yeast. Up to 84f before I crashed it out. And my tilt is on the fritz. I tried some magnet mountings and lost a couple and I think that might be sinking the tilt, so time for good...
