So I’ve never used S-04 before for hazy. Always used 1318 with great result. How should I do temperature with S-04

First time hop grower. Went out today and the bottom most leaves have holes in them and browning on the periphery of the leaf. Any idea for treatment?

what's the desired carbonation on this. I have it at 12 PSI but I've read that these need to be lower carbonation? Any thoughts?

Any benefit to closing blowoff and pressurizing to 10psi while in fermentor?

So I'm at day 7 in fermentor and my FG has been 1.010 for 24 hrs at 69F. I don't see why I'd keep it in the fermentor for another week. But I don't want to rush it so what is your opinion on. 1. Dropping yeast cone and leaving in primary for another week. I'm worried about sitting on yeast that...

I'm sure it's been answered but I can't find it anywhere. Can u substitute honey malt for melanoiden?

What are you guys thoughts on using all Golden Promise as a base malt? I usually do half 2 row and half GP with flaked oats and white wheat malt. I dont see it used very often as the only base but it seems it would give the NEIPA a bit more flavor

excellent advice makes alot of sense. I will make this part of my routine for sure. Since I have your ear I am brewing another NEIPA soon and have 2 questions for you 1. as far as the hops go I was planning 2 dry hop 1st at day three 1 oz each of Amarillo, Citra, and Idaho #7. 2nd dry hop day...

So what's the strike against the flaked adjuncts in NEIPAs?

Holy crap! What a response. Thanks so much. I'll try it this week on a new batch I'm making. As far as the transfer I fill a keg as full as i can with starsan. I push that out with CO2 leaving me with a CO2 filled keg. I then hook sight glass to transfer port of Spike conical and connect that...

question on aroma. I have been brewing this beer for awhile. Always turns out great. However I always feel the aroma is lacking. Maybe because I ve been drinking alot of King Sue lately at that aroma is off the charts. It smells like you just opened a huge bag of fresh Citra hops. I do closed...

I really need help with this very thing. Every brew I've done in my Unibrau system has clogged the hopplate filter when I try to send to plate chiller. Makes for a messy frustrating situation. I have always thrown in hops but there such a butt ton of them that it's inevitable the hopplate will...

Ok. I brewed this without any issue. Used 1318 and kegged May 8. Closed transfer. No oxygen ingress. I use a Clear Draught System to draw from top. This beer is delicious. No hop burn at all. HOWEVER...it is a funky pea soup looking color. One if my loyal drinkers said it looked like pus but...

Thanks mate!
