Finally cooled off here today. I have been cooking myself in the backyard trying to lay pavers for a patio. Did pressure transfer my Treehouse Julius Clone NEIPA into the keg this evening. Really liking that Spike Flex fermenter….nice cold crash with a little CO2 pressure to keep it happy and not trying to suck in sanitizer or air. Just have to be careful when you add all those tri clover fittings for the transfer, it gets a bit long sticking out of the front and when the fermenter is close to empty it doesn’t take much to make it want to tip forward.

Gotta get another batch of something underway now, before I run dry. Maybe just an ordinary bitter that can be consumed patiently as the NEIPA is in the summer spotlight.

Nothing brewing but ive been away but before i left i i kegged 3 beers. An IPA a keutbier and my Baltic Porter. Oh boy i should be home Saturday.

voodoo_donut · June 12, 2021, 2:56pm

Had to look up Jester hops…sounds good for IPAs…more like a C hop or more of a NEIPA Galaxy type ?

voodoo_donut · June 13, 2021, 1:59pm

Brewing today. At mash rest on my Dunkelweizen. Should be a little over 5% ABV so a reasonable beer for hot weather to come…… still near the upper limit for style.

Homestretch……
Dang it, forgot to check my original gravity because a huge thunderstorm rolled in and I was a little preoccupied!

brew_cat · June 13, 2021, 8:02pm

Yeah ive forgot to check my OG on occasion so I just use my recipe based OG. Im sure being experienced like you are you should be close.

voodoo_donut · June 13, 2021, 8:23pm

Going full blow off tube on this one because this “yeast is a beast”….

sneezles61 · June 14, 2021, 12:40pm

Nice Eye. Yes made in USA. I got a whole set years back in College ranging from 10 ml up to 2000 ml

Finally have this Star Gazer drinkable, it’s got a weird sort of smokey bite to it that I can’t place. Dunno if it’s from the massive lag time or what. Definitely not a fan, drinkable, but wouldn’t do this recipe again. Thankfully I have Swig of Sunbeams on the other tap to wash it down with!
