I am fascinated by this as well. I wonder what caused the color change? I will follow this thread, because I am interested to see what others think. Mike

Being someone who enjoys most music, and really enjoys blues/ jazz, I propose the name: Brewhouse Rag. Mike :mug:

Feel better, Altrez. The Kentucky weather not agreeing with ya? Mike

I use a hop spider. And, using Beer Alchemy, I use the setting for bagged hops. It works great for me. The "off topic" comment about squeezing ones sack made me snort home-brew through my nose! Mike :mug:

We've used the yeast once, when we revamped our IPA. Living in Vermont made us want to try it. We were happy with the results. We got more yeast character than we did with US-05. More peachy/ apricot flavours, and a bit more haze. No "off flavours " to speak of.

I know this is an old post. But it fascinated me. And made me wonder if a regular ultrasonic unit could do the same thing? Anybody have any experience with this? Mike :mug:

Yes. Mike:mug:

Ok Ok... MUCH better description. But then.... I am not British. HAHA! Welcome to HBT, mate! Mike :mug:

Can't wait to hear about it! I've been sampling our cream ale and our sweet oatmeal stout today.

One of the two readings had to be a mistake. Possibly both. Did you stir well, before taking the readings? Did you correct for temperature? Were you using a hydrometer, or a refractometer? And I agree, you made beer. :mug: Mike

^THIS! Mike :mug:
