Thanks for the response. Specifically wondering if starch conversion is required.

Making a CDA and trying to minimize any roast character. Ok to just add the midnight wheat during the last 10 mins of the mash/re-circulation or is conversion required? Thanks.

Thanks Moops. Did you pick up any saison character in those DIPAs or no?

Aren't the vast majority of yeast derived flavors from the initial yeast growth phase? What if you added the Belle yeast half way through fermentation? How much saison character would be produced? Someone has had to have tried this.

Anyone have experience mixing yeast strains? Specifically US-05 and Belle Saison? I'm planning on doing a split 10 gal batch of DIPA (1.070 OG), one will be just fermented with US-05, the other will have US-05 and receive additional sugar in the primary to boost OG to 1.090. In the...

I like it but I rarely use it because it's just one more thing you have to clean. I think as far as hoppy beers go, if you're already FWHing, hop standing, dry hopping, etc... You can't really notice any added flavor or aroma. I've never used it as a Randal however.

Any idea what this could be? All lower leaves have it on all plants. 2 year old cascades.

Higher gravity and more bitterness

I use a CFC, after boil, pump from kettle to CFC and then to carboy. Anything touching the pump is near boiling so sanitation shouldn't be an issue.

I've added split and scrapped vanilla beans to the primary after fermentation, results were good.

Yes

I would look to other culprits before I pinned it on mash ph. Is your tap water chlorinated? Describe the weird taste.

Yeast

I've done it, works fine.

Here's mine

I'm building a 4 tap kegerator. From the dual nozzle Co2 regulator, each line runs to a SS "T" spliter and then runs to each keg. The ID of the line from regulator to "T" is 5/16 and from "T" to keg is "1/4". Both setups from each regulator nozzle are the same. Will the change in gas line...

I batch sparge. So I could just hook up the tube transfer 1st running. Batch sparge, then transfer 2nd/final runnings? All through the ball valve?

I'm new to using a pump. How should I move the wort from the MLT to the BK? I have a 20 gal boilermaker as the BK with the standard features no extra bulkheads. Should I pump up and over into the kettle or into the valve through the ball valve/pick up tube? I guess my concern is hot side...

What could be the cause of the brown/rust color starting in the leaves? It seems to be only the bottom leaves. Also there's some white stuff which I figured was bird poop at first but now not so sure. It seems to wipe off but continues to show up on all plants. There are a few Japanese beetles...
