Think that pretty much sums it up, looks as though you do a 2nd mash with thw first wort runnings....loads of adjuncts and dry hopping...sounds like a NEIPA on steroids

Triple IPA or Tasmanian? If the latter maybe just do an NEIPA but use all galaxy hops?

Personally i couldn't keep beer at my desire level of carbonation in them. Ive had 3 and all have had same problem. Ive followed forum recommendations (sanding down imperfections in the plastic, vaseline on the seals /o-rings / ptfe tape on threads etc etc) but beer just ends up flat in them...

Rubbish imho. Give em a massive swerve

Question for you (or anyone who does / knows about multi-stage dry-hopping): If brewers of these beers are adding dry hops during peak (or slightly 'post-peak') fermentation then surely by the time you come to rack your beer, the hops have been in there for 9-10 days+ I was always under the...

Its a cleaning product, not a sanitizing product

Anyone have any thoughts on the above?

The Wilko's stuff is back and available for online order. £2 per kg but £5 delivery....So I bought 3 kg of the stuff so that the cost of the product was more than the cost of delivery.

It should be below pH3, rather than at least pH3. In my own experience - Star San used to work fine with a pH of 2-2.5 after I added it to relatively hard water. However, I've since moved to a soft water area and the ChemSan I have seems to come in at around 2.5 - 3. This suggests to me that...

The Neo is the NEIPA and is my fave of the bunch

Love a hazy beer (not for aesthetics) but only if it means it's a result of the adjuncts (adding to the mouthfeel and sweetness) and the use of lots of fruity hops. I'm not a fan of the hazy beers due to yeast. Historically (to me) it seemed that most brewers were of the opinion that dry...

The christmas ale was a belter, if a little sweet....would maybe recommend a touch more bitterness to balance it out a bit more, just a smidge

anyone else get an email saying Star San is back in the game?

I did! Mine was a recon one from brewkegtap and my first brew came out with an unmistakable metallic twang...maybe it was this carbonic acid thing but my 2nd brew has come out much better....when i received the keg i rinsed out and sanitized but it did make me wonder whether i should have done...

Sounds right up my strasse

If your columbus is unopened, maybe leave it and bitter with the Apollo, then use Galaxy for flavour /aroma (via late additions and dry hop)

I always assumed 75% is pretty good going, no?

In your opening paragraph you state "Finally I use the water treatment for beginners advice on here to calculate how much I need to adjust my alkalinity with using lactic acid".....now here's a question for the water treatment gurus (Strange Steve etc), I always thought you should reduce the...

depends on how quickly you can chill the wort and transfer to FV with the kit you have. If I chill with a wort chiller, it's prob circa 30mins

Adding them at the end of the boil (flame out) will add flavour without adding too much additional bitterness. It's generally considered to be beneficial!
