Having a nice chilled out beer while the husband cooks (yay). Lost cosmonauts which is mine and the Mr President is his.

Smells great and a nice crisp easy drinking hoppy pale

Having a little Pliny taster. It’s clear and fizzy and oh my goodness, it’s awesome. A massive blast of citrus hops on the nose is backed up with a rich lingering hoppy flavour. I can’t believe it took me so long to get round to brewing it.
The bad news is I’m off to Dublin early doors, so this is my quota for tonight.

Did you use finings in that or the correct yeast? I have found regardless of dry hop level some yeast strains seem to cause more of a haze than others with heavy hopping?

I used US-05 as per the Russian River recipe and the dry hops were all added loose. I cold crashed for 6 days, its a 15L batch in an SSBrewtech 7gal conical and I think a lot of the cooling coil is above the level of the beer. It sat around 3 to 4C for most of that time. A 1/2tsp of gelatine powder dissolved in 75mls hot water half way through the cold crash.
The recipe I followed is here. Hats off to @phildo79 for tracking it down and sharing it with me.

A pint of my saison, almost!

I have heard good things about this one so I grabbed a 4 pack of it try out. It's growing on me as it warms up. It was very roasty initially but that is calming down now. It's graham cracker sweet and a bit yeasty. Drinks surprisingly easy for a 9% beer.

Looks great! What do you have your regulator psi at for these?

About 27psi for the Saison, Tripel, Pilsner. I use about 18psi for the Altbier, sour, IPA. 10psi for bitter, mild. 56psi got stout (nitro).

Ahhh thanks, been wondering why my pilsner at 10psi has been feeling undercarbed. It's perfect for a bitter as you say. I'll crank it up to 18 and see if that helps.

Do you have any foaming issues at 27psi?

Just had a look at the recipe again. Serious amount of bittering hop's

Do you use any finings in any of your beer

I was also very surprised at leaving dry hops in for two weeks. How time has changed!
