All good discussion here. Personally I would encourage you to use loral. I too am very interested in this hop, because of the noble profile. I think it would be well suited to the style. You could also buck tradition and go with a semi-citrus profile. Mandarina Bavaria is a new school german...

Michelob ultra is a fantastic beer and I'll die on that hill. A lot of these preferences are regional. Mich ultra and busch lite are pretty popular with farm boys around these parts. I find both to be very crisp and delicate, very refreshing on a hot day and satisfying still in an ice hut in the...

Damn that is crazy. I got 1lb each of (leaf) el dorado, centennial and citra all from 2021 for $5 per about 1-2 months ago, $2.50/lb is nuts. I might just stock up again but my wife will kill me if I take up any more room in the deep freeze

Yeah the limiting factor I see, if it isn't the yeast, is the vessel. My all-rounder is rated up to I think 35 PSI. A corny is rated to usually around 50 I think? I wonder how many yeasts are capable of handling these pressures. I have read of folks using many common ale yeasts to 10-15 and...

I've never heard of anybody fermenting that high. I think you're on the bleeding edge here. Thanks for sharing the data point!

With a 3.3 cu ft unit, I think you are hard pressed to find a fermentation vessel that will fit easily. I use an all rounder in a 4.4 cu ft unit (also no freezer) and it works, but the depth is the limiting dimension. If the diameter of the fermenter were like 4" greater I don't think it would...

My only experience with 838 was a Marzen that I lagered for like 3 months, so I can't give you an answer other than to say you have me interested in WLP833 now!

A lot of good thoughts here. I found this analysis helpful- Its a survey of the most popular 2, 3, and 4- hop combos from the 2018 craft beer scene. I can't imagine its exhaustive, but the author surveyed a pretty wide selection of IPAs and lists the most common pairings and combinations.

I use SD exclusively for APA and IPA. In my experience, its just chico but faster and maybe attenuates a little more. This is to say that it doesn't accentuate malt flavor much, and most beers I make with it are very hop forward. Have you considered Omega's Gulo? Its a cross between irish ale...

I had this happen with a pils I brewed a couple years ago. Cargill german pils malt, WLP 802. It was an absolute noble hop bomb, I whirlpooled a 4 oz mix of spalt, saaz, mittlefreuh and tettnang, and then threw the exact same in as DH. It was absolutely incredible... until like 3-4 months later...

Very glad to see an active mexican lager thread. I'd like to share a recent brew I did that is somewhat similar to what others have posted: OG 1.042, FG 1.008 for 4.5% ABV. I was shooting for 1.046, think the grain wasn't milled sufficiently so my efficiency dropped by a significant amount. It...

Very interesting, looks like you made a really cool 4th grade science project. I have only used Gulo once but it seemed like a pretty normal fermentation... not a huge krausen, I also pitched a 1L starter which didn't do this, but like day tripper said it could be because I use a stir bar. In...

I know I'm necroposting but just got an all-rounder, setting up the duotight bulkhead that kegland sells for it and I can't get it to hold pressure either. Am I understanding correctly that you put teflon tape around the SS thermowell tube itself, so that the teflon tape is sealing between the...

Your FG might drop a little more, but not much. I have used WLP802 a couple times, which is supposed to be equivalent to 2278. Its taken a 1.05 down to 1.010 and a 1.048 down to 1.008 in 10-12 days. That said, both of those were step mashed and designed to finish dry. I have seen many...
