Talking about 150g to 250 g dry hops. First brew I had major issues trying to use the hop port as the funnel kept blocking so gave up on that. For Second brew I dropped them in loose for 3 days, then cold crashed to about 2c. And kept there for a couple of days before racking but got...

I used that site a lot but stopped for a few years ago because of constant logging in issues etc. Not sure its much to do with sales of BMs though as there are still a lot of owners and they seem to last for ever! i think its more whoever set up the site lost interest.

Jute IPA from salt is probably my favorite session IPA at the moment so going to have a bash at it around the info given on their website. I am obviously well familiar with centennial and mosaic but have never used Vic Secret or Topaz before so unsure how heavy to go with them...

I’m not a fan of full on NEIPAs but like slightly hazy pales. I I find I get that with US05 if there are lots of dry hops anyway. Whilst it stays hazy it’s juicy but when the haze eventually drops it coincides with corresponding drop in flavour.

Surprised at a rugby match as many would treval down to Dublin to watch Ireland. As an Englishman 20 years in Belfast I’ve also experienced the flip side+of that in some ationalist areas ( my wife is catholic) but it’s few and far between these days. I agree though integrated schools should...

So with the fermzilla will you Pressure carbonate before you dry hop?

how Does dry hopping fit with that? Would you nor have to de pressure again for your dry hop?

So what could I expect subbing a conan yeast with verdant? How noticeably will it change the beer?

Good to know, so thats the 1.5. I didn’t see the riveted option ones? Also what’s TFR? hot water generally works and so times PBW. At least before I put them in the dishwasher!

I was just going by my experience with verdant, similar malt bills and mash temps give me 1010 to 1012. Neve had below 1010 with it. No experience with the NE one though so was wondering about that.

that was my thinking too

My Siren soundwave all grain kit has arrived but i ordered Verdant IPA yeast instead of the New England one they recommended, as id read mixed reviews for the NE one and Verdant is my go to dry yeast for hazys. But it's got me thinking, what will the difference be? Would the NE yeast...

yes, I always end up around 1010-1012 with similar brews so really wondered about the 1007 FG.

The recipe says FG 1007. That’s seems very low given the malt bill, mash temp and yeast? Is that correct?

Good to know. Did you cold crash? I’ve only used it twice and the seconfd time I cold crashed for two days after after dry hopping loose for 3 days. it was a hazy pale ale I had brewed 5 times before to same spec but for some reason it came out super astringent. All the others came out fine...

Thats what I was kind of thinking. And uncrushed crystal malt will last a couple years I take it if kept well?

Think mine came with a red? but got it from Europe. As an aside anyone any tips for using the dry hop port? I’ve either had blockage problems using a funeral lot of spillage outside using a cut off water bottle top

Haha, so dont bother by the sound of things! I intended to get a grain mill after my first year. 5 years later after looking into every year always end up thinking maybe an investment elsewhere is more worthwhile! Still interested in hearing answers to those question above though

I’ve ordered the two cans with it but I doubt they will last for comparison purposes. Will probably drink them after brew day for good luck. What yeast did you use? They recommend the llalemand New England yeast but I went for verdant IPA instead as it’s my go to for anything hazy.

Thinking of investing in a grain mill ( do so every year) Quick questions. How different would 100% extra pale maris otter be for example from an optimum mix of regular maris otter and regular extra pale ale malt? How would 80L crystal compare to a mix of 60L and 120L ( in the required...
