Great name and great looking recipe brew.

I think he's been infected by the hopmanots!

Brew... I have some low IBU Belgians and sours here that might provide the antidote.

Well I've discovered that 11oz of hops will clog up my stainless braided hose pretty good. Running through my CFC now for almost 50 minutes (with my chugger pump pulling it out of the kettle into the CFC) - down to a trickle and still a couple gallons to go. Might have to invest in a stainless screen bottom for my keggle...

[Richard]

just bring the hops through, wait for the cold break to settle, and siphon into another carboy. although this is likely useless information now.

[brew]

Yeah finished up after about 75 minutes or so. The chugger dig suck it all out - never had such clear wort! The hops acted like a filter. I thought about siphoning but was planning only to use it for a last resort in case it pretty much stopped up completely.

Had close to 80% eff which is unusual for me. Two sparges and I stirred a little more than I usually do as well. OG 1.080. I pitched 4 packs of 05 at 55F. Should be getting close to 65F by now...

Yes, the hopmanots got me!

[fakr]

Looks like a beautiful brew....I'm talking about your recipe!

[brew]

Smelled nice - took a taste last night and almost knocked me over - I think it is going to turn out awesome.

[brew]

So I kegged this last night and theres a distinct smell of sulfer. I pitched 4 packs of us05 at like 55 degrees (the cfc over did it) and I wonder if that might be the cause? I know lagers can get this smell but it goes away after lagering. I wonder if the same would be true of an ale yeast like 05?

[Chris Craig]

I'm pretty sure the sulfer smell from a lager has to do with the strain rather than the temperature.

[brew]

Yes but I'd rather hear you say "dont worry let it sit for a few weeks and it'll clear up on its own..."
