Ha ha, yeah I will just relax and see what happens. I'm still not sure what's in my tubing. It's still there. So I'll just toss my tubing and get some more and make sure to clean better next time. Thanks for the feedback.

l bottled a 5 gallon batch last night only to realize my siphon hose had some gunk in it while cleaning up. I had already bottled everything. I did sanitize before siphoning. But the gunk wouldn't come out when I was cleaning up after so it had to be there before I racked into my bottling...

Can't speak for the hornindal strain, but I have used voss on multiple occasions. It is super citrusy. I love all the beers I've made with it so far. No detectable off flavors of any kind. My best beers have been made with voss. I have some hornindal that I'm going to use on my next brew. So...

citrus pale ale using voss kveik. Very tasty!

I have all three. Hothead, voss, and hornindal. Was thinking of using hothead because it says no need for ferm control. But it sounds like it may not matter. Might change my mind and go with hornindal or voss and see what happens. I'm definitely intrigued.

It says hothead ferments pretty clean. But it does say it has honey like aroma and over ripe mango. If fermented a little warmer I was hoping to draw that out a little more. I used hothead a few months ago at room temp and it took 2 weeks to finish and was super clean. No esters or aroma of any...

Yeah, I'm able to get any kind of temp control at the moment. I know that omega hothead claims to need no temp control. I may give it a try outside just to see what the results might be. Could be a fun experiment. Just didn't know if anyone has tried this yet.

I fermented one with voss in my garage about a month ago. It stayed right around 85 degrees. It was finished in 4 days. Turned out fantastic. Just wondering if I fermented a little warmer if I could draw out more esters and possibly be finished sooner.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with fermenting kveik strains outside. I was thinking of attempting this. It's supposed to be in the 90+ the next few days. I was thinking of wrapping the carboy in a blanket and putting it outside. Any suggestions or info would be much appreciated, thanks.

Recipe was not a kit. It was a recipe I formulated. I used a priming sugar calculator. I had 4.8 gallons and was shooting for 2.7 volumes of co2. It said 4.9 oz of table sugar. I did an IPA the batch before this with the same amount of sugar with no problems. I used hot head yeast on that one...

I just brewed my 3rd 5 gallon extract batch with voss kveik strain. It fermented at 85 degrees in my garage. OG was 1.044 and FG finished at 1.006. Bottled after two weeks with 5 oz. of table sugar that I boiled in 2 cups of water. My worry is I sampled one at 5 days in and it was fully carbed...

All extract added right after steeping. Then brought to a full boil for 20. Then off the heat. I'm only boiling 3.5 gallons at the moment. I only have a 5 gallon pot. I add the other 1.5 gallons after the wort is cooled and in the carboy. I know it's better to do all 5 gallons in the pot, but...

I only boil for 20 min.. They have all turned out great at 20 min.. You do have to adjust t your hop amounts. But my ipa's are all a nice light golden color.

Awesome! Thanks for the info y'all. So into the garage it will go. I'm looking forward to seeing how this yeast works. Also seeing if I can get any of those citrusy esters out of it.

just wondering if anyone has used this with fluctuating temps. My garage goes from 78 in the morning to about 85 in the afternoon. Just wondering if this is ok, or will I get off flavors. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I went with omega hothead yeast since I dont have fermentation control. Sounds like it will be decent, hopefully. It'll be ready to bottle in a few days. I'll post what it ended up like when its carbonated. Here's hoping for a good beer, ha ha! Also I didn't boil any of the...

I'm new to brewing, but have a few buddies who brew a lot. So I know a little at least. I've only done two batches and both were extract kits. I just brewed my third batch and wanted to experiment a little. So I made my own recipe. It was extract (extra light dme) with some steeping grains. I...
