Reported for talking about brewing. Where do you think you are?

Small pull of my IPA.

@Qhrumphf is going to be pissed (and not in the English sense) that brewing & science talk is happening again whilst he's at work...

Damn you both, I thought someone actually cared to comment on the recipe. :(

Well it's in the keg now... should I bottle all of them off of there and keep at room temp? Seems like a ****ty plan for the DIPA. Or I guess I could just unhook the keg and set the thing off to the side for a while.

I'd let it hang out at room temp in the keg. Dont keg hop until it is better, unless you already have, then lol

No, didn't keg hop yet... I tried it again and got pissed off, then I decided that I didn't want to waste any more money on that trash.

Let her ride for a couple weeks, may take a month, but I imagine it will come around. One more reason you should switch to liquid yeast. You know exactly how healthy they are before you pitch, and you can give them training before the big job. Stressed yeast is what caused your problem here, which most likely raised your temp higher than normal as well.

#SCIENCE!

Oh yeah... I pitched both about 100 billion cells short.

That was cool too, I never knew I sucked at brewing until I made these big beers. I was too nonchalant about the whole thing, my method was working fine, but I was sticking around 1.060-1.065... so never had an issue.

I derped just as hard as I possibly could.
 
day 2 of dog shvtting in his crate. Damn dags. Really need to work on some sep anxiety training. Although why it's just now starting after a couple months? Blegh.

We all derp, its about how you learn from the derp.

Woah I missed this post. @finsfan is a little cuter than I pictured.
You go gurl!!!

I do not condone this

Ours stopped doing it after about a week, I could not have been happier. However, there is about a 10 second window between the moment she goes to the door, starts whining, and the moment she drops a healthy stench bomb.

I don't derp. Don't lump us all into your derp. I ask a lot of questions and even call people to ensure I don't derp. Don't derp. That's how you waste beer.
 
Yep, taking a mulligan on that haha. I still think his issues are yeast stress related, which could or could not ALSO be due to temperature.


Dry yeast works just fine, you damn yeastist.

Now, under pitching dry yeast is definitely not fine.


Psy, I had a 1.075 OG IPA go from peach ester bomb to Award Winner in the bottle, in two to three weeks.

I'd say leave it out to condition or bottle it up.
 
Just bought tickets to Buffalo Wine & Chocolate Affair for wife's birthday. Bonus points to me for remembering this year, and because it's in a castle. :ban:

Even pitching at normal rates, with higher gravity beers yeast will produce more esters and fusels (gavin can at least back me up here!). Stressing them out creates even more of this. My only thought with avoiding a dry yeast is that liquid can get a chance to condition itself before hitting the higher gravity wort in a starter, whereas dry yeast cannot.
