If it turns out good, Im hoarding it. It looks great and tastes great (pre blowoff last minute addition ;^) Was a Hops and Gnarly brew, after a few NEIPA experiments he did: Best Hazy IPA to Date

2.5 is ok!

So this happened. Had my finished beer in a 5 gallon brewtech fermenter. Transferring to keg and it stopped. Lid clasps were unhooked but there must have been enough vacuum and still tight enough to stop flow. Broke the suction seal on lid and she started flowing again. But I didnt notice...

They are trying to make thier way out there...

Great story! And memory. Did you stash any for me and save them for 10 yrs just for this occasion? Keep reading about then in homebrew articles and sites. Are they as good as they are touted to be?

Thanks passedpawn. Thats good new, they are getting closer at least. Dont go to Philly but might be cheaper shipping. Will change that request to Philadephians ;^)

I will tip well ;^)

Agree, I dont particularly care. Like the extra vitamins in hazy beer. But out of curiosity I tried the gelatin approaches.

Ive added gelating to key before as well. Adding gelatin at any time will help clarification. And post fermentation the EtOH helps protect beer a bit.

Lazy and dont want to read entire thread, so possible duplicate answer. I use gelatin with pretty good success racking to fermenter. I bet combination of clarifiers in endo of boild + gelatin would make for some clear beer: How to Use Gelatin to Clarify Your Beer

In general, what flavor changes can one expect doing a warmer temp lager?

Mystery solved! When I opened the fermenter all the kreusen and hop gunk was settled except a big glob on the Tilt's top. Essentially weighing it down a lot. Hydro reading = 1.009

Thx

Thats discouraging, but understood. Looks good, smells good, tastes good. LEts hope for bad data from Tilt.

No [intentional] sport being had. Thats nthe reading. I ould see Tilt being off, it usually is a little. But the ferment was agreesive and changes in reading daily were pretty fast. I will try and take a manula reading tomorrow and report back. MAybe spome top foam has the the tilt pushed...
