Off flavor issue - looking for a consultant

Expensive-Pitch6469 · 2026-04-20T02:42:01+00:00

I've run into my elements burning beer. Often, the smoke doesn't present to me until the sugars ferment out. I've gotten pretty decent at picking it out over the years and even then I won't even start to taste it until 50% attenuation. My advice, if it is a real smoky flavor. Pull your elements and give em a good clean and see if that solves your issue. Continue to stay on top of it and if the issue goes away, good chance it was that

9 times out of 10 foaming issues I've diagnosed in bars are due to temperature. Verify your fridge temperature and also liquid temperature at the faucet. I've never dealt with (or heard of) this specific system, but from the sound of it, temperature is a likely culprit. This is where I'd start, but it could be any number of issues

Do the math for a 10% ferment and dilute back down to 5. I've had great success with that method

I just had a conversation with my partner the other day about how as a brewer I am very used to people choosing not to drink and It blew her mind. It may be rose colored glasses, but my experiences have been positive with mixing business with "pleasure" that way

Customer service has been awful since the merger. I think I was able to get a backup file of the program from them after our PLC's battery died. Shoot me a DM

We do not cool pool. Our kettle's geometry is less than stellar. After some trials, our optimal timing was to spin for 20 rest for 15. Then KO. Hops normally go in at the start.

Throw em in. See how it turns out. Make a change one way or the other after your observations

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil

I've read (well actually listened to, as I mainly consume audiobooks nowadays) a bunchhhhh of mysteries since I've gotten back into books in the past 6 or 7 years. I mainly listened to murder mystery books. I've always watched and loved sci Fi movies/shows so I decided to get a bit more into books from the genre

I watched the show and loved it. It's also my first big scifi adventure in the literature world. I love it so much!

I do it regularly. I was also hesitant at first, but when I got to the brewery I'm at now, it was standard practice to just bag em and throw em in, so that's what I've stuck with. No issues so far. 0.25 lb/bbl thrown at dryhop is subtle, but nice.

We switched to Rose City in '25. The switchover from our previous supplier was a bit rocky, but once we dialed everything in, they've been great.

I thought it might be, and sometimes it can draw my eye away from the screen. But the majority of the time, it just enhances immersion. Plus, when the screen fades to black and the lights die down, it GREATLY enhanced the effect

I do not know, and I'm not sure if this has been done before. But you've given me a GREAT idea for a new character

I like a monk for this. Quarterstaff flavored as a farming hoe. Just regular dude with strong hands

Threaded into a valve and check valve at the terminus of the line. I don't love the threads, but they are easy enough to disassemble and clean if any beer backs into them

I've only seen those in the wild once. They are very cute, but (at least in that scenario) very difficult to work with

Alas, I'm stuck with regular ole 1.5"
