I don't enter competitions because I don't need affirmation from anyone that my beer is good. I have drank a river of beer both good and bad and this Lutra lager with a slice of lime is fantastic after yard work on an unseasonably warm November day here in Ohio. I'm happy that I have the ability...

Yeah I agreed completely right? 😂 like I said your take is comical. I only chimed in on the thread because of all the YouTubers are lying about their results nobody can brew good beer with Lutra bs in this thread. I thought I would share my own personal success with it but you're obviously not...

That's your opinion and I would somewhat agree with you in that I do traditional lager brews and when I have one on tap side by side with a Lutra version they are better but not by a huge margin by any means. I find your obvious disdain for the yeast amusing and I suspect it would color your...

Dried Lutra 1 packet not rehydrated pitched and fermented at 85 . I'm drinking one now and it's really good and legitimately lager like. 80% Briess pilsner, 11% instant rice, 7% Quaker 5 minute grits and 2% acidulated malt for ph correction. 0.5 oz of Magnum at 60 minutes. In the past I brewed...

I’m not a YouTuber and I’m not selling anything but I can honestly say that I have brewed 3 pseudo American lagers with Lutra and all 3 have been fantastic. Crisp, clean and crystal clear with gelatin fining. Simple recipe of mostly Briess Pilsner malt with rice and corn, magnum to bitter at 20...

I tried this method with my fermonsters and it didn’t work very well but this little easy set up works like a charm to go from fermonster to keg. It’s not oxygen free but certainly greatly reduces exposure. I attach a liquid post to the tubing and push it into a keg with a couple psi of...

I was thinking the same thing. Even if you’re a hyper vigilant Homebrewer you’re not achieving sterile conditions. I love Omega Tropical IPA I have brewed with it numerous times and always with great results. I pitch it warm - mid 80s and hold it there for a week and it’s done. The results are...

What a difference a couple weeks makes. This was a fail as a warm fermented lager and as a pressure fermented lager but after a few weeks of cold conditioning it’s tasting really good. It’s not crystal clear but considering that I used no finings it isn’t too bad.

Thanks I took the pressure ferment lid off and put an airlock on it to hopefully allow the sulfur to off gas. I watched a beersmith podcast with Chris White and John Blichmann and they fermented lagers under various pressures at 68 degrees with a normal cool fermented lager as a control and the...

First room temperature lager is 7 days in my fermentasaurus at 70-ish degrees 34/70 at 15 psi. There is no diacetyl present but there is a lot of sulfur in the aroma. Will this age out? Should I keg and cold crash or let it sit longer?

Bottled my first corked and caged batch, a Tripel.

Just because I'm keto doesn't mean I'll miss National Pizza Day. Chicken crust pizza is delicious.

I have a roll of vinyl tubing on a garden hose reel that I run up from my basement directly off my well pump out to the garage for brewing in the winter time. I run the chiller tubing out into the yard creating an ice skating rink. With the cold ground water I can chill pretty quckly though.

I brewed 5 beers in January at night because I'm a 3rd shifter it was single digits all 3 brewdays. You can't let a little thing like cold weather get in the way of brewing.
