Thank you Mike for sharing! This is awesome; and we are planning on doing an Irish Red Ale full brew day this week. Tis the St. Patrick's Day season!!! Cheers.

[@SankaraHomeBrewing]

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to brew this recipe. I’m going to put a twist on this recipe so it’ll be a little different. Cheers!

I always use a yeast starter just as added insurance. If I still question the yeast I’ll throw in a packet of lutra kveik or us 05 dry yeast

[@jarrettcooke]

Try sour pitch next time from Lallemand. It’s around 25 dollars but it does the job every time I kettle sour. You just add latic acid until your PH is around 4.3 and it will bring your PH to 3.2 without adding any other types of sugar. Once you get it to your PH you want, add your yeast let it ferment. Then before you keg you can add Amoretti craft brew fruit flavor purées. Always get what I want from a Kettle sour every time.

Always room to tweak recipes to your liking. Have to love the craft! How the hell do you keep your hop basket so clean looking ?

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

Other than I have two, so each gets used only half as much, cleaning them immediately after the brew. Plus I only use them when I'm chucking in a fair amount of hops. If it is only 1 or 2 oz, I use a hop bag which I have two of those and replace them about every 1.5 years as they wear out. Summary, I spread out the wear and the washing probably helps a little.

What’s your favorite fermenter? As I want to buy new units due to my fermzilla all rounders are about 2 years old now. I don’t pressure ferment, as I temp control, but O2 free pressure transfer is a must.

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

I absolutely love my All Rounders, and I'm in the same boat as you. I will be doing pressure testing soon, but I recently purchased a Fermzilla Flat Bottom Gen 1 Fermenter. I am going to test it as my fermenter, and then put it under a mild 5 psi to do a transfer. It isn't a pressure ferementer but it can still handle small amounts of pressure from my understanding for things like doing a transfer.

[@Hacky2447]

@@BitterRealityBrewing yeah I’m not concerned about pressure ferment for sure. However being able to pressurize it for cold crash with thermowell would be my biggest concern.

[@nathanbrown1525]

Thanks! Setting my new Foundry up for my first all-grain brew next weekend. Do you use your wort pump to transfer to your fermenter?

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

Thank you for the support. Most of the time I prefer to use the pump to do the transfer as I hate having my Anvil too close to the edge of the table and back when I brewed on the floor, the pump just makes the most sense.

[@BeetsByHometownBrew]

I'm curious as to how a lager yeast would perform in a stout. Maybe I'll whoop one off.

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

It works really well, just smooths out the flavors a lot, so nothing usually will stand out as much as it does in an Ale.
