I always do a 20g batch of my Kolsch recipe and use 189 in 10g. Wish GigaYeast was still around. That’s where the 021 came from.

Third pour looks more like it.

First keg pour of 021 Kolsch. Man I love this yeast. Hate the day when something happens and I lose it. Love a Kolsch w Crystal, love that hop. Has that subtle lemon character. Beats the crap out of the split with S-189. Learned to never underestimate the addition strain makes. S-189 yeast is...

On the back side of your spigot, stick a stopper with a piece of bent tube. Like the curved top of an auto siphon. You turn it to escape the trub. Also use a pickup tube in your boil kettle that meets the “corner” of your kettle. Should help some of you trub issues. I still win comps using...

Planting my peppers and tomatoes tomorrow. Paper mulch works great, just wish it were more economical.

Bottled Imperial Stout, Saison, and my Tripel are better than kegged. My Kolsch, lagers, and the rest I keg. I do find in those styles the bottles are better. Kegging hoppy beers now that I learned how to pressure transfer, crash, and all the extra PIA steps. Bottling those big beers is nice too...

Package store 6 packs of SN are $10 and up. Buy pint cans of any IIPA and it is $16. Homebrew is way cheaper in every way. I brew larger batches and farm my yeast. Buy everything in bulk and save where it’s worth it. I’ll buy 6 sacks at a time when I’m near the source. It is what it is, just...

Really like this, most miss, but I like this. 🍻

100% agree

Leave it, you’ll be fine

Kolsch has such a stylistic taste. To me it’s by itself. Like most here, I’ve tried all the yeasts. While I don’t mind 2565, there are others I like more. I will try the Omega. I’ve been running Giga021 for the last 8 years maybe. I love 021 and will keep going until I lose it somehow. My last...

The last few pints will be where you want it. 😃

Hard business model in 2024. My local seems to be doing well. That’s where my $$ goes, no matter if he’s higher.

Kolsch #3 while working on tomato cages. I’ve brewed this beer so many times. Best part of the hobby is making it just the way you like it! Delicious

Kegged 10g of Imperial Stout. Using it as a bulk secondary until the end of the month. 5g will remain sterile. The remaining 5g will get spirals, vanilla, and a touch of coffee. Bourbon will be added at bottling too. Only 10% so missed my target a little. It is probably the best I’ve ever made...

HB Kolsch

It is all anyone could ask for IMO. Split the wort with my Kolsch, and fermented together at 63. Both are great.

189 lager is fantastic. Love this yeast!

Preference?

My rig is a 🦕 I really love to look at these systems. I would love to be an inside brewer. I’ll tell my 3864 this weekend it’s riding in a Maybach on the way to the chamber! Love it!
