Yes. Early on in this thread I did a wb only beer with a lot of hops and the clove was still present no matter what we did. Same with the yeast blends including wb. I still don’t think they are using wb unless they are doing something to get rid of that clove. I did so4 with t58 with not bad...

I’ll let you know in a few days! Haha nah no covid here. I typically dry hop in the conical after crashing and dumping all the yeast. I dry hop around 8-14oz in a 7gal conical and rouse the hops from the bottom with c02 a couple times a day for 2-3 days. This has always worked for me but I like...

I kinda now wish I left it on the keg hops longer haha. It’s still too early but the beer is drinking fine. Not harsh at all. Not too hoppy. Color is fine. Wish I shook the keg to mix in that hop bag better.

Yeah man. I’m very confident in my process so I was shocked when I saw the color. Smelled great tho. This will be a good experiment. 10oz dry hop in the conical for 3 days then dump and crash. Then transfer into purged keg with another 10oz haha. Most hops I ever used in a 7.3% beer. Hops were...

You’re right, it was hops sitting at the bottom of the keg giving it that color. I transferred to a clean purged keg and the beer looks great again. Just have to wait and see how it develops.

So maybe I should transfer to a new keg? The beer does taste harsh lol

Has anyone added extra dry hops to the keg in a mesh bag? I just ruined a beer doing this. I dry hopped in my conical with the first charged for a few days. Then chilled and dumped the hops. I then added 10oz of hops in a mesh sack to a completely purged keg and closed transferred the beer...

I’ve tried it like 3 times. You will get banana flavor but for some reason the beer will drop clear with that yeast. Try it and let us know. The beer will be good just not exactly like TH. I think THs malt and hops plays a big role in the flavor.

Made another double ipa with this yeast co pitched with verdant. Dumping the dry hops now but this beer is looking clear! I used mostly citra and Simcoe for the dry hops and this beer still not that hazy. Anyone know why? Is it just this yeast? I dry hopped after I crashed and dumped the yeast...

Be careful to not use too much PC in your beer. I did once and it turned out terrible! Like very bad salty weird off flavor. I would start very low and work your way up.

So I just had these side by side. I don’t know what treehouse is doing but that amazing yeast ester is GONE. These cans were kept cold and are fresh. Idk if they are using pilsner malt or a lager strain for something but when I really swirl the glass to get aroma, the first thing that pops into...

Next time you want to make a THish beer, get bonanza and mix with with an English yeast. You get those banana esters that i sometimes get in TH.

I just got some 12 oz cans so ill let you know. I used to get crazy esters in the past KJ when i had them. Especially from Monson. Also, anyone notice ever since this thread died down Nate has stopped mentioning anything about yeast in new beer descriptions? LOL No more house yeast or blend talk.

I used this yeast a week ago to ferment a treehouse style IPA. Took a gravity sample at one week and the FG is 1.013. It had a long lag time of around 24 hours so i bumped it up to 72 for a couple days and then let it ride not letting it go above 72 or below 70. I then turned off temp control...

In what step of the process are you guys using Lupomax with best results? Whirlpool or Dry hop?
