To me, they're kind of like a Tilt, won't make my beer any better...

Jade Mountain Brewing. Story is the owner opened the brewery in China, then moved it here. They make a killer lager, too.

I should have taken a picture. A local brewery does a hazy plum vanilla sour. Sounds weird but it works!

Yep. That PSI thing falls into the category of stupid American tricks.

1 PSI equals 6,900 Pascals.

Anno 2022 Märzen is in the fermentor...

That's fair.

But yeast growth is exponential so what's flat at a week should be carbed at ten days.

New posts pretty exclusively.

Kind of a tie between Kveik isolates and stevia. Stevia, just no.

Picked up supplies and spun up a 3 liter starter for my Märzen. Traditional, brew in March, serve in September.

Phenol: Are you on a municipal water system? If so, dechlorinate your water before brewing with it. 1/2 Campden tablet will dechlorinate 10 gallons of water. Whatever else you try, try that, it's cheap and if not needed, harmless. Also phenol: Break everything down, clean it until it...

Most of my lagers don't get a flavor addition. But if I were doing your beer, I'd all all the flavor hops at 5 minutes.

Thanks, all, for the great suggestions. It's what I love most about this community.

I went ahead and installed the floating dip tube, and JA was right. The dip tube was clogged at the post with hop debris. This will be my IPA keg in the future...

I assumed it was the dip tube.... I have a floating dip tube I may install. Was hoping someone had some advice on avoiding oxidation. But then, I'm opening a supersaturated CO2 solution to the air. As long as I flush the keg after doing what needs to be done, I should be fine, I think...

A bit of a problem here: I have a half-empty keg of a decent IPA and for some reason, nothing comes out when I try to pour from it. I've upped the pressure, blown gas backward through it, nothing. Any ideas how to free it up without ruining the beer? Thanks in advance...

No pics but I just put an Irish Red in the fermentor. Looking forward to serving it at our LHBS's Homebrewer Night on St. Patrick's Day.

Homebrew club's annual party this afternoon. Regrets...

Extract variant of Nautical Star.
