    WHC Labs Yeast

    Has anyone got experience with WHC Labs yeast? The prices are very good, similar to Apex Yeast, but they offer some different yeasts. Anybody used them?

    Cream Ale/Red Lager

    fucking chaos today. came in and the AC was ALL turned off. inside of the restaurant was 94f. mashed in and then was told to dump the batch so that we could try to salvage the day(temp wise). Not the end of the world, frustrating and a waste of about 60lbs of grain, but so it goes. BUT i lost...

    Paso Pioneer IPA (CTZ/Cascade)

    the recipe you posted here is missing a hop addition and is only at 40ish ibus. generally speaking i try to build more ibus in the 15 min and lower additions to avoid the beer being overly bitter. It requires more hops, but that does not really matter to me at my scale. This is what i would...

    Paso Pioneer IPA (CTZ/Cascade)

    Nothing concerning. sharing the actual recipe would make things easier feed back wise. Dont know that you really need dextrin malt, but it certainly does not hurt anything. what are your percentages? 62IBUs is probably on the high side for 6.5%abv. your 20min addition will be more...

    Insanity? Percolation or Drip Mash instead of Immersion...

    my system has the basket submerged and it seals to the bottom of the kettle. it pumps from the outside of the kettle up through the middle and cascasdes down around the kettle. there is a temp probe in the bottom under the tube. the temp difference eventually evens out, but it has to run for a...

    Insanity? Percolation or Drip Mash instead of Immersion...

    you will likely run into problems since you really need the temp and time for the enzymes to convert the starches into sugars. It sounds like you are trying to essentially "vorlauf" your mash. My system does this to some extent, pumping hot water up through the bottom of the grain bed and...

    Which recipe should I make??

    my fermenters are not too bad for being cheap chinese crap. The welds are very good(one of the owners is a sanitary welder in town and went over them top to bottom). they are 3.5bbl tanks but i can jam 4bbls in them as long as i use the second blowoff(not the spray ball). they hold pressure...

    Do You Update Recipes?

    I do! but if it is a drastic change i will create a V2 V3 etc. and mark the original. I also write out the important stuff on my brewsheets and keep those for my notes.
