And to get some more beer convo going, what's in the works for the fellow homebrewers for the rest of the year?


Down to one beer on tap after our Halloween party. The neighborhood killed my Oktoberfest keg during trick-or-treat. Got a coffee brown on tap that I'm enjoying, but I need more beer.

I've got a ton of hops in the freezer. Gonna use some of them starting this weekend.

Doing an APA with Citra and Eukanot cryohops/lupulin powder. I've never used hops in this format, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Also doing an IPA that will lean more West Coast with Citra, Amarillo and some steam distilled Chinook hop oil (to be added directly to the keg).

cryohops


I've used some in my last 2 NEIPA (Saison yeast) brews. My hops came in pellet form and I added half at flame out and half as dry hop. I don't know I could tell any difference.

I just finished brewing a NESaison today. Pitched WL 585 which I used the first time I brewed this SsIPA....I'm searching for what to call this style.....The 585 really accentuates the citrus quality of the Citra and Mosaic I use. I used 3711 on the second iteration of this and it dryed things out too much. But more than that, I added my biotrans hops on day 2 like before but the 3711 kept bubbling for 10 days....damn stuff wouldn't stop. I think that long ferment screwed up my biotrans.

My interest has been peaked with these cryo hops.

I'm trying to fine tune my NEIPA formula. Going to cut back on the salts to get a less chewey mouthfeel. I've also reduced the oats/carafoam to also reign back a bit of the mouthfeel. It will still be NE in style, but i want to focus more on extracting hop flavors rather than mouthfeel.
