In watching the Apartment Brewer do the Tree House IPA, I was thinking I could do it myself. But, after looking at the notes in the Youtube vid I realize there are some steps I am not able to do. Whirlpool is the first one that comes to mind. I don't have the equipment. Pressure fermentation is the next. Using a bucket fermenter that would not be able to hold any pressure takes me out of that part of it as well. Next is the O2 exposure. When I dry hop I simply open the lid, put my dry hops in and close the lid. Leaving the draw string hanging out of the bucket to help me suspend the dry hops about mid bucket as to not settle down into the yeast at the bottom of the bucket. I don't trub dump either as I have no way to do that. I guess my point is, I would really like to give this a go, but wondering if my lack of equipment is going to make this beer unsuccessful right from the get go.
Here is a link to the video.
Any input, as this would be my first time doing a starter and the ingredients are a bit on the costly side compared to what I usually do. So I would hate to screw it up by not even being in the right ball park equipment wise.,
Any input is welcomed
