Wow. :mug:

Amazing. Thanks!

Wow!

FWIW, I brewed this with US-05 and it was fantastic. Very refreshing. I've had some bad luck with S-04 even with temperature control, so if you haven't used it much, I don't know if I'd try it now.

Wow... definitely in. Thanks!

Jackhammer IPA is fantastic if you can get it. Solid, aggressive west coast IPA, no gimmicks.

That's all I meant. This is definitely a RDWHAHB situation.

I asked a similar question when I started brewing and Revvy said not to worry about going too warm for those first few weeks. It's somewhere way back in this thread I believe. I suppose there is an upper limit but you're not likely to hit it.

9 days is enough if you check the gravity reading and it's more or less at the estimated FG. Or, if you're doing things by the book, if you check the gravity a few days in a row and it's not moving anymore (and not stuck). Since it's a wheat beer, I'd check it after a week in bottle and see if...

See my post above. I've tried the approach of adding some sugar solution at the beginning and some at the middle of the racking process, but still have had issues with consistency. Not sure what causes it, but I found a solution through gentle stirring. This is based on a lot of experimentation...

I actually have had problems with getting an even mix from the racking alone. Regardless, I changed my bottling routine to include a verrrry gentle stir at 1/3 full, 2/3 full, and when finished. This did improve the consistency of my carbonation without any side effects. Just be sure to maintain...

First exit on the Wisco side of the river when you cross on 94. Turn right at the DQ and the next business is a wine bar and liquor store called Casanova's. Great people. You can also have any growler filled with whatever they've got in kegs -- stuff from New Glarus, Three Floyds, Southern...

Looks good!

I suppose he does say 6+ gallon pot, but having done this method of BIAB for a couple dozen batches, I know I couldn't do a 5 gallon batch with a 6 gallon pot. Mashing and sparging would work, but the boil would be trouble. I was brewing 4.25 gallon batches and would need a pre-boil volume of...

Yeah, I did 5 gallon batches in a 7.5 gallon pot and it was a little nerve-wracking sometimes due to pre-boil volume and the potential for boilovers. Doable for sure, but the bigger the better.

+1 to this. I made this beer a few times with different hops at least, and every time it was amazing. Temporarily out of the homebrewing game but this may be my first batch when I start up again next year.

Digging this thread up just to share my own experience. I hadn't checked on my latest batch for maybe a week, and in that time, mold has grown in the fermentation chamber and even worked its way into the mouth of the carboy. The beer looks and smells OK, but I'm nervous as the universal carboy...

Just realized I posted this on the wrong thread. Didn't brew a Helles lager with Zythos!

Just brewed a variant on this since my first run at it was so good. Using US-05 and the Zythos hops blend. Can't wait to get it bottled next week -- it's getting hot out. :mug:
