I wouldn't spend the money. I just use the kegland hand pump attachment to a pet bottle. Any pet bottle works for cleaner.

I haven't tried the IPA yet. I did reach out to Omega to see if they had any experience with an ipa and jovaru. They said they thought it might be more Belgian IPA but haven't tried it. I was just thinking about trying it with a dry hopped cider. I think I might bump cider up on the list...

You changed from refract to tilt pretty quick unless I didn't read the time stamp right. If you keg you could keg you beer before it's done and use a sounding valve to see when the pressure stops building...then it's done...or stalled. I didn't have much luck with a refrac post fermentation...

For ales I'd wait next time. I sound after day 3 usually. Unless you want to suppress more of the ale esters. I only pressure lagers from day 1.

Switch to oxyclean free. It's like 3 bucks a pound. Not as strong but if you keep your stuff clean it shouldn't been a problem. I use pbw on new equipment or really dirty equipment. Or once or twice a year on normal equipment. You could try regular oxyclean which is like 2 bucks a pound at...

I'd wait 2 weeks after a fresh propper sized pitch of yeast if you don't want to measure. Or don't measure at all if you don't care about the abc number. If it tastes too sweet, give it more time.

I would just like to have my hops free in the boil. I've clogged my stock pump with only like 3oz or 4 oz. Am I doing something wrong? I would like to be able to whirlpool like 8 oz without sticking the pump and have a good enough cone to keep most in the pot.

How many ounces of hops have you tried free with the whirlpool? I've been using a Spyder but don't think it flows well

I was looking at the Anvil swirly arm or brewers hardware spin cycle. Does anyone have good experience with either with the narrow pot diameter of the foundry? I'm assuming you need a better pump than the stock foundry one. Thanks.

All the brews I've made with it I ferment at 68 and ramped to 72 at the end. Worked as advertised. I still dry hop room temp.

What temp did you do your farmhouse? I did mine low 80s. Wondering what it would do at room temp 70.

No love for the Jovaru?? Hoping fermenting on the colder side will reduce some of the farmhouse and hopefully let the lemon pitch still come through. Thoughts?

I haven't used helio but I did a pale ale with mostly mash hop and cosmic. Turned out very fruity punch, tropical guava. Not sure that's what you're looking for.

Yeah I agree, they are useful for small kegging. Maybe I would like them for split batches since 1 gallon kegs are like 120 bucks

I really liked these when I saw kegland announce the release. Before the release I bought a dozen 1 liter pet bottles, carb caps and some cut beer line for dip tubes. I like this better to take beer places. I get smaller amounts to mix and match beer I take, I can just pour out the bottle...

Currently have a raw Jovaru farmhouse on tap and looking to repitch. Anyone ever try other styles with Jovaru? I know omega recommends a Wit but wasn't sure if anyone has had success with any other recipes. I'm wondering how it would be with like a C hop IPA. Maybe like a more neutral Belgian...

I only use duo tight so far for my spunding valve setup, but seems like my QD fitting starts to leak after 6 to 9 months. I guess from the starsan but they are the new versions. I tried adding more tubing to put less stress on the end of the fittings this time. We'll see if they last longer.

I just made a normal hazy with 3 or 4 oz mash hop and reduced whatever early bittering hop I had to hit my ibu target

Yeah london III or juice or Britt V all unlock some. Read the omega and Janish sites, they modified the britt V to unlock more

I haven't experienced higher bitterness with a 3 to 4 oz mash hop or saaz, Chinook, nugget (what I had on hand and what the Janish material showed to be better for bound thiol). I use the brewfather mash hop utilization...and to me it might be a tad low. Like Bobby I use a biab and pull the...
