      Mine's also going along nicely. On day 7 and at 1.020 and tasting yummy. Only 4 more points to go. Started upping the temp yesterday.
      That is a huge yeast cake!

      I kegged my Tangerine Pilsner on Friday, really like the smell and taste of the Mandarina Bavaria hops.

            i also tried/tested/tasted that verdant ipa mosaic/centennial 'thing', it still has heaps of hop burn a month since i brewed it. i'll leave it for another fortnight, but im strongly considering my first drain/dump, i just dont like it at all.
            on the to brew list, dry irish stout, cali common, nz pils and another burton ipa. but before i do that, i need to stock up on malt
            More info on this "verdant ipa mosaic/centennial 'thing'" ?

            What went wrong ... is it the yeast?

              Yeah.. this was using 200ml of fridge yeast about 40 days old. Loosing 2l now


              PS. For the brewfather users. This is where I capture this loss... correct?

              • With all the talk of Marzens... Is there a decent commercial Marzen that someone can point me to? Looking to expand my palette away from hop heavy ales, which has been my home base forever.

                    I don't know a lot and have learned a bit from my many mistakes...one thing I learned from researching (and then brewing) the Verdant IPA's that imo made an impact on the harshness of the hops is the fact that the dry hops is done at 15c and then immediately cold crashed for 2 - 3 days before packaging. The starting recipe @ 6% abv has a ratio of 0.6.

                    Based on that and my previous attempts at a NEIPA, I have to agree with some that I am sceptical about the whole impact of biotransformation. I have not yet been able to hop aggressively during high fermentation and get the same smoothness I got by just doing the late dry hops at low temps.

                    I will be doing a 6% version once I get my next batch out, which is a RIS.

                        maybe give it some more time to mellow out? 0,75 bugu is on the low side of the IPA scale?

                          • Just for those that might not know. The Verdant IPA Yeast is basically London III with some other strain added (added itself in the brewery) to a smaller extent based on a discussion I listened to with the brewmaster

                              • They nailed the marketing though. I bought 2. My friend 3. And based on a few what are you brewing posts so did the rest of the forum
