I am out of town and it was not quite carbed when I left. At that point it was good not great. Will report back when I get home early next week.

Been a while since I have made this recipe. Have a lb of 2020 Nectaron which smells amazing, so figure this recipe would be a good introduction to the hop. Brewed yesterday and looking forward to getting it on tap. My Dad really liked the version of this beer that I did with Strata, so hopefully...

A local brewery uses it in one of their IPAs and I was told they mix with de-aerated water and pump it into the fermenter to get proper dispersion. I am sure your method should work at our small scale. Let us know how it turns out!

Chicken looks great. What are you using for your drip pan?

Just curious -- what kind of efficiency are you getting with the g40? Have my eye on it and it looks like it might hit the sweet spot for what I am looking for in an electric brewing system.

I am interested in a pound of these! Let me know what need to do to arrange for purchase. Thanks!

My understanding is that by just adding AA alone you run the risk of certain byproducts oxidizing your beer. That is why AA and SMB are typically used together...

Really curious about this. Have only seen Galena used in bittering, early boil situations. Definitely let us know!

I have heard not to add SMB post fermentation typically. I am also pretty careful about oxygen ingress, but in a homebrew setting it is really tough to avoid. But with all the talk about it I decided to try it with my last dry hop and there was no detrimental affect. The beer is actually quite...

How much did you add?

My version of this with Vic Secret came out fantastic. It is a little more bitter than my previous iterations with Strata and Nelson, but that is to be expected with the higher AA. Not astringent. Pineapple, peach, a little pine. As I had noticed in previous beers that I made as part of a blend...

I just brewed this with Vic Secret and will let you know how it turns out. Dry hopped in fermentor. Cold crashing now and will be packaging a a day or two.

I ramp it up to 70-72 after this fast active fermentation and usually get more attenuation (at a much slower rate) over the next few days.

In my experience that is normally how this yeast behaves if you pitch a good size starter and oxygenate. Fast and furious.

I'm in. Thanks!

I just did this recipe with BRY-97 and Strata. It came out great.

Interesting...I have used Juice quite a bit, and it typically rips through the sugars and is at terminal within 4 days. I often ramp it to 70 on day 3.

Yeah that was my original thought as well. I have 1oz each citra and mosaic cryo LupuLN2 laying around and needs to get used up at some point sooner rather than later, but maybe will hold off on this one since it is the first time using LUPOMAX.

Anyone brew with the LupoMax hops from YVH? I have Citra and Mosaic LupoMax and as well as Yakima Chief Cryo I need to use up-- so I think I might do the standard CMG recipe, but split the dry hop up between normal pellets, lupomax, and cryo. Thoughts?

Pretty much followed the recipe. I might up the dry hop a bit because I have 1.4 oz of strata left over and with my unintentionally extended mash my attenuation is looking to be pretty high with abv likely to hit 6.5% or a little higher. Trying to decide whether to just throw it the rest in or...
