I was wondering, is that a 10 gallon cooler for the HLT and a 5 gallon for the mash tun?<br /><br />Thanks and cheers!<br />JebJebhttp://www.jebtaylor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903005071553976822.post-46329222323791562482011-04-15T21:47:22.159-07:002011-04-15T21:47:22.159-07:0084.5 IBU bizzatch!84.5 IBU bizzatch!Kara Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396550158857970182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903005071553976822.post-37273941583204627982011-04-14T16:53:17.906-07:002011-04-14T16:53:17.906-07:00You did!

I didn't enter it in the recent QUAFF specific IPA competition since it didn't fit most of the parameters.<br />Last night, we had a Jeff's homebrews tasting panel (well, just Kara and I) and tossed back all 4. Even Michelle had a few tastes. All were great and we agreed that it was awesome to have beer from another homebrewer. Thanks again! <br />I don't use Ferm-cap, but I do use William's Brewing Antifoam (probably very similar formulations). William's carries both:<br />http://www.williamsbrewing.com/FERMCAP-FOAM-CONTROL-P1106.aspx<br />http://www.williamsbrewing.com/ANTIFOAM-P2235.aspx<br />Different descriptions but considering similar function, you're probably right about the yeast formation. Balls rather than the usual thin layer at the end of primary makes sense.Chillindamoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797432469440420791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903005071553976822.post-42633717511743958312011-04-12T08:51:50.892-07:002011-04-12T08:51:50.892-07:00I had the first version of this IPA, right?
I thou...I had the first version of this IPA, right?<br />I thought that it was extremely well balanced. So this is calculated at 120 IBUs. I did not think it was very bitter at all. It would be neat to get this beer tested for IBUs.(I think you can send it into the QUAFF IPA comp and they will test it)<br />It was great to taste the homegrown hops in a beer. We planted the rhizomes and can't wait to see how they do. I'll be sure to bring over some beers later this fall.<br />And I have seen yeast do that. Actually my Saison with the Dupont strain is doing it right now. Do you use Ferm-cap? (Which lowers surface tension and requires any particle to lower their surface energy. And the lowest energy form is a ball)Jeffrey Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520169652639837640noreply@blogger.com
