I brewed 6.6 gallons of this the other day but with s-04, OG 1.090 FG 1.018. I made a two stage yeast starter from 11.5g pack of yeast, first one 1.8 liters next one 3 liters, dont know how many cells I had but probably somewhere north of 500b. The yeast took it down to 1.018 in about 3 days...

I really like the taste profile of voss. In a simple pale ale for example it rocks IMO. I don't use it that much because last time the beer tasted excellent but I got very hungover from it. I pitch per recommendation from the Norwegians (severely underpitched) and maybe it throws a lot of bad...

Edit: got it sorted.

Thanks! I saw in the pitch rate/yeast starter tool in brewfather it recommended me to pitch about 750 billion cells or 5 bags so now I'm making a 3.4 liter yeast starter for the two yeast packages to hopefully hit that amount. I think I will maybe increase temp 1°c or such.

Hey, I'm gonna brew a variant of this one in the coming days. Using pilsner malt instead of pale ale malt, another hop for the 60 min addition and two 11g bags of rehydrated s-04 yeast instead of wlp002. The rest is identical. The yeast in the beer recipe has an attentuation of 63-70%, the...

Me and a friend just did a 25 liter split batch, half of it with 2 kilos of blueberries and a little black berries, and the other half clean. 1.120 starting gravity, don't remember what it ended at but around 15,5-16% alcohol. We followed the mead batch builder...

Thanks so much Dan. I read somewhere it's digested faster by the yeast than ferm-o which linger for a longer time, would it be wise to split the dose up in half, say 6.5 grams at 1.080 (which is where the second and only dose is supposed to be served) and one at 1.060 or lower?

Hello, we started a batch of mead using the mead batch builder: https://www.youtobrew.com/mead-batch-builder However we've run out of ferm-o for a second dose and there are non available to buy, can we use a dose of ferm-k of the recommended amount at first and only dose of K (which is a...

I love voss kveik. My beer with any other yeas (albeit not that many, maybe 8-10 others) I've tried never tasted as good. The more you learn about it the more amazing it gets, like pitching 5 ml of slurry in a 20-25 liter batch and it just loves under pitching, or the fact that you can dry...

Thanks for the info/help all!

My friend looked at pictures of pantry moth larvae and commented he think the head of the larvae was black and not brown (like in most pictures of pantry moth larvae online). The body were white/transparent. Unfortunately I never saw a picture of the bigger white larvae, but I think I saw...

Unfortunately we have no pictures, but here is a video, not the best video but its what we have. The other larvae/maggot was bigger, white and with a black head according to my friend. I never saw them myself, only saw this video and heard about them from my friend who has the batch at home and...

Thanks guys, I think we will bottle it, while trying to see if we can find more maggots and let it sit, hopefully being in good shape. I also read on denard that fermaid-o which we are using has some pH buffering capacity, rendering potassium to be optional. Maybe we'll try without any...

Hi, I've brewed a batch of 1 gallon BOMM mead before and did not use any potassium, this time around me and a friend made a 5 gallon batch and I read per denardbrewing that I could use dried apricots instead of potassium carbonate/bicarbonate for pH buffering (Denard Brewing). The pH buffering...

Brewed a tweaked version of this, muskovadosugar instead of syrup, EKG for hops, Windsor yeast. Amped up to a 5,1 ABV beer. No water treatment (don't know how to do) but tweaked the hops for the stronger beer. It turned out really nice! Fresh and easygoing. Will probably brew again
