+ 5 gal Chieftain Irish Pale Ale clone = 635

My Irish Pale Ale inspired by Franciscan Wells Chieftain.

+ 5 gal Irish Pale Ale + 5 gal Dunkleweizen = 4354.5

Brewed up an adaptation of Franciscan Wells Irish Pale Ale. It’s pretty similar to SNPA. The key characteristic is the combination of German Tettnanger for a floral/herbal note and Citra to give new world citrus and tropical aromas. Chico strain yeast (I’m using Flagship) gives fruit esters...

^^This!!!^^^. :mug:

+ 5 gal Dunkelweizen = 3491

I’d estimate 6–10 for 5 lbs. (20 to 30)*5/15)

One issue I’ve seen with my Tilt (which I love) is getting a biased low gravity after high krausen. I figured out that it was shmutz on top off the float, essentially weighing it down. Swirling the fermenter to spin down the traub in the conical cleaned it up and the gravity increased a couple...

2674 + 5 gal Belgian Bathwater (tropical hoppy dubbel) = 2679

You know you’re a homebrewer (with too many friends) when it takes a case of beer to brew two cases of beer.

Looks like someone’s making Old Bay Gose in the future ;-)

Thanks for sharing that website- very rich info site! I found that he also likes the 50 C autolysis recipe, too, and cites reasons. https://suigenerisbrewing.com/index.php/2022/06/16/are-dead-yeasts-yeast-nutrient/ Based on the plots in the Tanguler paper that plateau after eight hrs, with no...

I started using low sugar/high FAN starters a while back and have had good results so far. Those starters definitely wake up faster. I have also been playing with making yeast extract for FAN. Yeast will undergo autolysis at 50 C (122 F) and pH 5-ish*. The first batch I overcooked/boiled...

With a few of the breweries here in NorCal offering a dozen or more beers, I like to get a flight of the lighter styles, take a quick break, and catch a connecting flight into the dark. 😆 Frequent flier miles anyone?

I love 3522 and have had great luck with it. Temperature and pitch rate have a big effect on the character. I get very fruity esters from either pitching low, e.g., less than 1 pkg for 5 gal > 1.055, or warmer temps, up to 72-74 F. Colder temps ~ 62-65 F give me spicier notes. Though, not...

I wish this thread would play as a radio station. It’s much more interesting than anything happening on FM here. :rock:
