    IBU's

    I think it is somewhere around the 90-100 mark where anything after that point is imperceptible to the common man

    Blue storage barrel for grain

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JGVSWND?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I've got a couple of these and, as mentioned above, with a bit of jiggling will fit a 25kg sack with a little space to spare

    SOS to Pennine Brewers

    Peveril Stores smack bang in the middle of Castleton has a really good selection and many are local, also do very good pies, pasties etc. The closest brewery is Intrepid in nearby Hope

    Excessive lag time?

    I'm exactly like you! SS Brewbucket, Tilt, Brewfather, always looking for any sign of anything. I only have the ability to heat at the moment, I pitched around 19 and once it got going it took itself up to 21.5. As it started to slow down I kept it at 22c until it finished off. I'd leave it...

    Excessive lag time?

    My latest batch (dry hops are in now) was with the same yeast, pitched 2 packets the same as you at it took just shy of 36 hours to get going. Once it did go it took around 6 days from pitching to ferment out. Sounds like you're just coming to that point so it should get going some time tonight 🤞

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    First taste of my latest DIPA attempt. I seem to struggle to get my OG high enough but this is very smooth and delicious all the same 😋

    Show us your dog

    Reggie is a handsome chap, what breed is he? George was a rescue and advertised as a Parson Russell, though on closer inspection at the vets he confirmed that he's got some English Bull in him (mother we think). Looks a completely different beast when his ears are up, also explains why he's a...

    De-hazyfying an existing IPA recipe

    Yes I use half a protofloc 10-15 min from the end of the boil religiously, nothing else. I'd probably say I use Verdant in 75% of my brews but went with what the Brewery use for this.

    De-hazyfying an existing IPA recipe

    Have you brewed the original before or are you going with your revamped recipe first time out? I ask as I brewed the original only last month, been in the keg a month and it's as clear as a bell! From info on Verdant's website they use a mixed yeast pitch of Lallemand New England and US05. I...

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    I've got an attempt at a clone in the FV as we speak, be interested to see how they compare 🤔 Looks great 👌

    Suggest some hops please.

    Was planning a Simcoe Citra & Talus West Coast but might just go all in on this. Enjoy!!

    Suggest some hops please.

    Was this based upon Gash's recipe (homebrew network)? I love Talus and wondered if his recipe was really as good as he made out

    NEIPA Yeast Recommendations

    I can vouch for this recipe too. I went with the original version (Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy) as per post no.5803 linked above and was really pleased with it. The OP does say that the recipe is pretty flexible and you can sub things or even leave things out altogether yet still get a good beer at...

    Voss

    I've probably done half a dozen brews with Voss and like you pitched half a packet and fermented around 35c. I made an IPA with Amarillo in it and found that it was very orangey, perhaps too much? My latest batch was a pale ale with Citra, Mosaic & Galaxy and found that it has taken a good 3...
