I recently made a wit too 49% pils 49% raw wheat 2% acid malt peel from 2 oranges 12 gms coriander 10 kafier lime leaves 51 Liters at 1044 -W1214 I found at 12 gms in 51 liters the corriander was too much, although it is melowing after a month in the Keg.

not planning to underpitch because I want to.. Just L A Z Y, and I know this yeast has a reputation as being unstoppable.

hello 3711 users. are there any issues with underpitching this yeast? I want to pitch 51 Liters at 1046 with a single smack pack - usually I'd use 2 packs but only have 1. Cannot be bothered culturing unless I really have to. thanks david

sort of on topic... I also have just harvested my first year chinhooks in Kiama and am attempting to dry hops for the first time. I have had them on a screen next to a fan now for two days. It is very humid where I live and has been raining yesterday. So Far the appearance of the hops has not...

What does it taste like?

Thanks Raz, Already do chill and gelatin(just a little bit with the polyclar) in the fermenter. Then either filter into the keg, OR add isinglass to the keg depending on the paleness of the beer. I have come up with this method based on experience and the love of bright beer(tastes better than...

Hi guys, I have had a recent spate of beer with poor head retention and have been wondering why. I have been following my usual processes across multiple styles but have had a disticntly poor head retention for some beers. I clear my beer either with Polyclar followed by filtering into the keg...

hey guys, just wondering how do these filters handle boiling water for cleaning and sanitation - i use my 50l HL tank to clean and sanitize all of my equipment, will a paper filter hold up to 10L of boiling water run through it? Thanks

These particualr friends turn their nose up at freezing carbonated beer, Its either out of the fermenter, or hand pump, or nitro beer for them.

+1 fermenter beer is the best treat especially if its dropped clear. I am always excited when I know I'll have excess on kegging night and will often have a quite a few pints. On occasion I have even left the fermenter in the backyard and have had friends who actually prefer my fermenter beer...

OG 1068!!! can't imagine that beer would have any resemblance to "true" Stella. Unless it was a typo, maybe he meant 1048

your topic is funny, Low FG is great for home brewers. you have low OG...

Has anyone tried larger stir bars yet? I brew 55L at once and want enough yeast out of my 5L flask. With the supplied stir bar I can only get a very small vortex going, not sure if I should find some bigger bars or if they would even work.

Hey Dr K, One of the three people I mention who has found this issue is your friend Dickus - hairy..... He has a therory that it was only one particular batch of Us-05 available mid 2010 that caused the squirts. Did not know uso5 had a few different sources....

No correlation with food - beer drank with and without eating, noon, afternoon and evening. all same reaction to each batch with us05. Symptoms seemed to be partially solved by adding isinglass to routine and completely resolved by using other yeast. I have got over this issue months ago by...
