I'm able to view the picture. It's just not embedded in the post

As long as you have a co2 blanket on while you clear the poppet, you should be fine

If the pours are ok and just slow, I’d let it be. This used to happen to me a lot with stouts. No matter how meticulous I was, some mixture of cacao and/or coffee beans would make their way into my liquid line. I just lived with the slow pours.

Sounds like it’ll make a great beer. If you’re specifically looking for superdelic characteristics, they may be outshined by the citra, but it may work better as a supporting hop 🤷‍♂️ keep us posted!

“Hoppendectomy” 9.8% This was the beer I used superdelic and mosaic spectrum in. Definitely the best hazy beer I’ve made. My appendix was removed while this was conditioning. Made for a fun name 😂.

I have the same hop bong and plan on using that. My only concern is fitting in my chest freezer with the new TC adapter. Do you have a rough idea of how tall the corny keg is with the new lid and a capped butterfly valve? I added 1# brewer's crystal and 0.5# of malto to my last TIPA, and it...

Update: Going to use this for the next batch...

I fill with starsan solution and make sure I get every crevice soaked for a minute or two. Before pushing the starsan out with co2 I burp the keg a few times with co2 to make sure it's fully purged. Then I push the starsan out with co2. I use a floating dip tube in my dry hop keg, so I have to...

I was planning on adding to serving keg but opted to include it in my dry hop keg. I also changed up my dry hop process of shaking/rocking the keg every few hours. I’d flip it upside down for about an hour, then roll, then flip it back upright and roll. I did this every 8 hours or so. I also...

I reread my comment and didn’t mean for it to come across as confrontational. Tone doesn’t transfer well online

Not sure if it’s the spectrum or superdelic (first time using both) but this triple came out great!

He never mentioned quantity/ratio didn’t matter on hot side, just selection. There’s a reason breweries use their hops that don’t rank well in their sensory analysis in the whirlpool as opposed to cold side.

the hops need to breathe, too

Do you adjust post-dry hop or do you adjust earlier and design your recipes to land here? Citric or phosphoric on cold side?
