Are they first year hops?

I dry hopped an IPA with 2 oz. galaxy, 2 oz. nelson, and 1 oz. of amarillo on sunday. Cold crashing right now, and will fine with gelatin when i get home. Plan to keg it Sunday.
I really need another perlick tap. I have 1 perlick that is great. I have another standard stainless tap, and the damn thing gets stuck. If i don't squirt out the tap with water after every use, the faucet gets stuck, shoots out a bunch of foam, before it starts pouring correctly.

Give them plenty of time to kind of dry up and get pretty papery.

Look on the bright side, you can use them as lambic hops without waiting 2 years for them to dry out and smell like a gym socks.

That's what mine looked like the first year I grew them in New Orleans, which got full sun all day every day. It was almost like they got roasted on the bine.

I think that's what's happening. The lupulin glands were looking good and developing well then our record setting summer roast seems to have dried and baked them to death. I have a bunch that are papery and beginning to brown with almost no lupulin and the glands seem dried out.

I have the western sun blocked too. It doesn't matter. Our climate is insanely harsh.

Ordered some Gigayeast Conan. Anyone use it yet and if you have what style did you make with it?

Checked in on my lacto/brett beer this morning. I started fermenting on Tuesday, and it's already down to 1.004. That is by far the quickest brett fermentation I have ever experienced. It's normally on it's second lag phase at day 4, but not ECY Dirty Dozen. It is apparently a beast of a blend.

Yesterday I kegged my latest IPA that I call Flavortown IPA. The grain bill is mostly 2row pale with 1lb Munich and 1 lb torrified wheat for head retention, softness, and haze and 0.5lbs sugar to reach 1.06. Hops bill was 1oz CTZ to bitter, 1.5oz each Galaxy, citra, and mosaic at flameout with a 30 min hopstand, same hop bill dry hopped in the primary 3 days after activity, and kegged onto the same hop bill as keg hops added in a co2 purged keg. I used us-05 and ended up at 1.006 for a pretty much perfect example of what I like to drink. I truly do feel like the mayor of Flavortown right now.
And today I brewed an imperial saison with citra and Galaxy. I love my brewing space now

I'd like to try that. I might use it for my next brett IPA

I recently got a pack of wyeast Brett lambicus as a freebie. Anybody ever brewed something good with it?
Posted on 7/11/16 at 9:24 am to Canuck Tiger
That's a good one. Works great in primary or secondary. I've done an IPA with it that was super fruity. I've done a saison with it in secondary that had a lot of esters and even a little acid.

That's good to hear Canuck. It's just way too hot here at the moment for me to be excited about brewing anytime soon. Have a mostly full kegerator so I can't see myself brewing unless something just pops up.
Posted on 7/11/16 at 9:39 am to BottomlandBrew
Ok that sounds like a good plan then: 100% Brett APA and then pour a saison or a Belgian beer onto the cake.

Heat is rarely a problem here (although my house can hit 80F in the heat of the day) but we have sub-freezing weather Oct-May. So I always brewed in the kitchen and cleaned/fermented in the basement. Now everything (other than my kegerator) is in one convenient place, and I don't have to clean a full kitchen before and after brewing. Plus I can brew at my schedule not around meals, so I can sneak a quick weekday brew in a lot easier.

I made a couple IPA's with it. One didn't get below 1.020. The other finished at 1.014. The beer was shite because i had an overcontamination of starsan in my bottles (this was when i was bottling).
I probably won't be brewing with it again.

This. I have everything I need to brew a gose, but I'm just not excited about getting out in 96 degree weather to fire up the burner.
