Thanks Steve, she's sitting at 27c and has been since pitch, I want those yeast to crank out as much funk as possible... It's in a fermentation fridge with a 60w tube heater and as it's getting cold it's hard to get it to go higher I'll just leave it be, Tilt has literally just read a point...

Hi All, I've currently got a Saison on the go with Omega OYL-042 Belgian Saison II, currently gone from 1061 to 1010 in around 5 days and now it's literally trickling with activity but still going... First brew with a Belgian yeast so is the 'last leg' of fermentation always this slow ? How...

SS Brewtech FTS Heating Chart

I have a SS Brewtech 7 Gal Chronical and I'm considering purchasing the glycol chiller plus the whole FTS2 system with heat pad. Some yeast now preferring higher fermentation temperatures (Kviek, Belgians) my question is around how high can you get the fermentation vessel wort using just the...

Tidy... Nice one thanks guys... Might add a clean bittering hop to boost the IBU level up towards 50IBU. If I get anywhere near to how good this beer was I'm be amazed anyway Only other I've done was a Jack Hammer (love that too) and got no where near it

I agree having tasted it it was certainly more than a measly 25IBU but how do they achieve that with the recipient ? In other areas they have described the beer as 75 as well... I think they've not published the actual recipe personally and have done with many of them

Howdy folks... Had a Brewdog Mallow Mafia on the weekend, it was so good, I mean really good ! It's being brewed... No questions Found the recipe on DIY dog which calls for 30g Cascade at the beginning, and 30g Cascade towards the end. This will impart, at best, 25 IBU into the beer however...

Software is easy enough to use, as with everything it takes a little time to play with and learn... They all do the same thing end of the day ! Bru'n'water took me a while to figure out... Interesting you think that low temps bring out more orange. I've always brewed higher in the temp range...

Tbh I like all all my beers cold & well carb'd... Personal preference... The MB tends to come through much heavier that other hops in my opinion. My v1 below actually came out with more orange than v2 even though it was designed to have more ! I did use different yeast for it though so might...

Well if your AA is anything like my last lot (9.9) it'ss be northwards of 60 i think... Either way interested to know how that turns out... Love MB - Always the basis of my NEIPAs

Whats the anticipated IBU on that ad boy ? Must be quite high, just used a MB crop myself @9.9% AA I think... Doing something incredibly similar with a Kolsch but using 20g in boil, 25g in a whirlpool and a dry hop with 20g and my IBU is predicted at 22...

Thanks JerryP ! That's the experience I was after... I always took the temperature ranges on yeast as a guide but assumed (never tested or read it would) that it would still ferment at a lower temperature (within reason) but slower. I want to try ferment this as clean and with as lower ester...

Probably true ! Anyone else tried fermenting as low as possible with any yeast ?

If you check your wort temperature at the beginning of ferementation it will not match that of a stat and the fridge. It's always higher, typically I've found over the last few weeks this can be as much at 3c ! If you want accurate temperature control you need to invest in something like the...
