re: Homebrewing Thread: Volume II

I made a single hop APA with just Sabro, so I could get an idea of how I'd want to use the rest of it. I found it lacked a real citrus aroma that I find in alot of modern american hoppy beers, and that I personally like. I definitely got some of the coconut aroma, and maybe a tad of the mint aroma I had heard about, but really I just thought it created a smooth, and relatively mild hop flavor and aroma. Its definitely a unique hop. I enjoyed the beer, but when I use it again it will probably be in an NEIPA alongside another, more citrus forward, hop.
I'll add the disclaimer, that I have heard others getting a stronger hop aroma and flavor in Sabro than I did. So, I actually changed my dry-hopping method for the latest beer that I put on tap which is a single hop El Dorado APA. I bought one of those hop mesh filters that Bug mentioned, and put it in my serving keg to leave in there.
So right now, I have on tap my El Dorado APA which should be done carbing this weekend, and my peach berliner. I have a couple questions:
- My peach berliner has a yeasty smell to it. I really like how it turned out otherwise. Anyone know what this could be attributed to? I figured it would fade away as yeast sediment fell to the bottom of the keg and went out the first few pours, but its lingering around.
- I harvested yeast for the first time from my El Dorado APA. Wyeast 1056... How long will this keep for in a mason jar in the fridge? I wasn't planning on using this yeast for my next 2 planned brews, but if its going to go bad then I guess I can change up my plans.

I would. But it's up to you.

Similarly for biotrans do I want 6oz sabro or 4?
That's up to you. I've read in the "new ipa" book by Janish that you should limit your hop additions to no more than 3-4 oz. at a time, because you start losing utilization rates. However, after listening to the brulosophy podcast and trying their method, i just added all of my planned dry hop additions (usually a bio trans, then 2 dry hop additions) at the biotrans stage. Made sense that the risk of oxidation when opening up your fermenter to dry hop was greater than the loss of any hop utilization. So i shifted all my hops except for about 2-4 oz. to the biotrans stage, and then keg hopped with the remaining. I'll typically purge the keg, open it up, throw in the keg hops, purge again, then transfer.

I'm not kegging so I just omit that right?
You can, or add it to your dry hop schedule. Something i will add, the key to a good NEIPA is limiting oxygen intake. Nothing is worse than an oxidized IPA. The color and flavor is affected. So if you are bottling, just know that you will likely take in some oxygen, especially if you are using a bottling bucket. I'm not saying this to steer you away from an NEIPA, but your beer may not hold up nearly as well, as if you were kegging.

Kegged up my first ever rice lager. 60% pilsner and 40% Japanese short grain rice. Modest amount of saaz hops. 3.9% ABV and, dare I say it, crisp. Could still use another week or so to totally drop clear, but it's drinking pretty good right now. Today is the first hot day we've had, so it should taste pretty good after my evening run.

What's the groups' thoughts on Motueka hops flavor profile?
Posted on 5/19/20 at 11:30 am to mchias1
NTY- anyone in the middle Tennessee area know of anybody interested in getting started in homebrewing? I have several pieces of equipment (buckets, bottles, caps, etc) that I no longer have the need for.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hows the mash work on that?

I'm in central KY, anything in particular you're trying to get rid of?
Posted on 5/19/20 at 1:55 pm to puffulufogous
Just about all that I have. Lost the desire to brew, so looking for a good home. It would be great for someone looking to start the hobby or someone looking to supplement what they currently have.
I have pots, a turkey fryer, buckets, airlocks, bottles, corn sugar, a 6.5 gal glass carboy, etc.

Nice. I'm set on most of that but I will ask my cousin in Nashville to see if he is interested.

I ran the rice through my grinder, then cooked it on the stove like normal rice. Added it with my grain to the mash, and viola. It essentially dissolved in to the wort by the end of the mash.

Thanks Puff. Let me know.

Do you have any ball lock kegs you're unloading?
Posted on 5/19/20 at 5:55 pm to BottomlandBrew
Bottom- I don’t have any. Sorry
Posted on 5/19/20 at 8:31 pm to NashHawg
It's all good. Never hurts to ask. I'm in Nashville, too. 
I'm more than set on brewing hardware, but I can always use more kegs.

Austin Home Brew has the best deal on kegs I found. New 5-gallon kegs are $75/each. I’ve got six of them and they are good quality. Shipping was free when I bought them. Sometimes they run deals for free shipping.
About to brew a NEIPA this weekend. Help me on water chemistry. I’m using distilled water. How much gypsum vs Calcium should I use?

Unfortunately my cousin doesn't have any garage space to keep the equipment. Sorry man. I bet you could sell it pretty easily on FB marketplace.

Baton Rougeians....where are you getting your CO2 tanks filled? I see LA Fire Extinguishers but am hoping there's something closer to Ascension.

Used to go to LA Homebrew, but I found LA Fire Extinguishers to be the best. Took them like 5 min to get me a fill. Sometimes LA Homebrew will ask you to drop it off then come back and get it.
