I have 200grams each and i haven't yet brewed with either type. Im guessing the El dorado will be more dominant/pungent than the Huell? I was thinking of a bittering addition at 30mins and then a massive whirl pool at 70C followed by a big dry hop, any suggestions on ratios as i want a bit...

I have 3kgs of fresh Raspberries and 3kgs Total of Blackberries & Boysenberries and a Saison thats ready for fruiting.... what would you do and why? All raspberries or the combined black/boysenberries?? I can't decide :(

So ive just made my 30th IPA last weekend, most of them using WLP001, WLP090 and some session IPA's with WLP644 for some fruity goodness. Ive been wanting to try the Conan strain and the only 2 yeast brands available here in New Zealand are Whitelabs and Wit yeast, so WLP095 it is. Now out...

So im not a fan of 3711, I'm not a fan of to much clove, white pepper and fruit are my favourite traits in a saison strain. For that I've been using WLP585 Saison Ale III, I've made 7 beers from the 1 vial i got last year, culturing from the starter each time. Alais im now out of this strain...

Hi everyone, i have been using 644 for a while now and really like it in my IPA style beers and recently i made the starter with 100 billion cells each of 644 and 585 saison III and love how it makes my saisons taste and smell. Question is how would this blend with London Ale III, being a top...

So im going to give Pliny a go, i make a lot of IPA's but the hop bill looks like one i would use on a pale ale. I got this recipe from http://www.bertusbrewery.com/2015/10/pliny-elder-40.html Have i entered the recipe correctly, the hops just don't seem enough :confused:

So im wanting to try this strain in my next IPA but having trouble making a starter calculator work. I email Whitelabs and asked them for a cell count in 1 vial of 644, response.. info white labs 2:46 PM (4 hours ago) to me Hello, That strain has 50-80 million cells per ml...

So I have a few Chinese made 23L kegs and the dip tubes are to long and they press down on the base of the keg and have caused scratches. I have since trimmed them. I use PBW and Star San before I keg a new beer, is this enough or should I use TSP as well? I ask this as I have had a couple of...

Hi all, been reading some conflicting reports on this "newer" strain from whitelabs. Anyone used it, or have some solid answers to exactly where its from? Here's a FB post from a HBS.

Hi guys and girls, i know this is a looooooooooooong shot but im asking anyway :D If anyone can get their hands on a can of Tree House "Green" would you be keen to send/trade it with me? Just one can. I live in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand so we have a lot of good IPAs down...

Hi guys n girls, decided to get a water report as im on bore water and have no idea of the content of it. I have loaded the info into EZ Water 3 and here are the results. Im trying for a pale ale profile, are my Gypsum additions to high? Also i had to add 2.6% acid malt to get the PH in...

Just made a 1 liter starter of WLP001, chucked it on the stir plate, got it going..... ten minutes later im still there leaning up against the wall, beer in hand watching the vortex and didn't even realize i was doing so.... ummmm anyone else guilty of this? :confused::drunk:

So over the past 2 years i bought 3 standard 12 gallon SS pots with 5mm bases and started on my build. I was supposed to take progress shots but they were few and far between. All pots have welded tri clamp fittings so i can completely dismantle the hardware and leave only the pots. I built my...

So after doing BIAB for 2 years i moved house and decided to upgrade my brew system at the same time. Bought 3 50 Liter SS kettles with 5mm solid bases for $60 each and set off on my build. This build is already in full swing and the pics will be all over the place as i didn't do a step by step...

My question is, if im dry hopping my IPA's with say 6oz of pellet hops, is it possible to fit a SS ball valve and a SS dip tube half way up the side of my primary vessel so i could purge CO2 into the wort to mobilise the hops into the wort. Other wise they just sit up on top of the wort like a 2...
