To pop up an old thread. I only brew AG up here in Canada. (I also live just over an hour away from Gambrinus malting). I originally bought this yeast because summer climate in the Okanagan can run from 12c to 42c and my previous brewing area was less than temperature controlled. Now I use...

The first 24 hours are mostly the yeasties easting O2 and producing CO2 while the grow. Then they slow down and chug through there food .

Do not cold condition untill the sufides exit completely out of the airlock. This is quite common with some yeast strains, though usually lagers. As said above, they will disapate, given enough time. Sometimes a mild temp shift is enough to change what is being produced by the yeasties...

Being from North America, I can tell you that the common base malts for an A.IPA are NA 2row (2 lov) and "british" 2 row (3 lov). American IPA's tend to be on the light side, though the style does call for an srm of up to 14. So you can use the pils malt. A lot of pils malts are slighty less...

Yeah? Well verno9n is only 15 minutes away from Armstrong BC where Gambrinus malting is located. Very nice. I buy my grains by the 25 kilo bag there. You can also buy grains off of Freddy's brew pub in North Kelowna. Only brew pub in the area other than Penticton. The l;ack of brewpubs...

Hello from a beer brewing Canuck! Just joined the forum. In the process of building a new three tier rig. Used to work part time at a micro brewery here. What I wish I had was my own in house Mill Wright like the brewery had. Would sure make this build a lot easier. The brewry was Tree...
