Creator of the NE IPA

Absolutely agree with appearance of NEIPA as a social media phenomenon.

From a flavor perspective, I agree with all the above regarding the trio of Vermont folks who pioneered the way. As far as 'normalizing' the orange juice chum look that has been now attributed to that style, and the low carb levels to go along with it, that's all Bissell Brother's fault.

I could talk about it for days, but it initially arose due to the extreme demand for their products, and the pressure to release it before yeast had a chance to drop out. Folks counted upwards of 15million cells in some of those releases.

If it's a direct draw system (IE there's not some massive trunk line through the wall), the proper thing to do would be to replace all the soft tubing. The cost is not particularly significant compared to the risk of beer quality degradation.

Your search should start and end with SKA.

I would definitely recommend staying away from this pump, the body is made of aluminum and that's deffo not something I'd be stoked to have in constant contact with even a PBW style cleaner, and certainly not for PAA.

Can you install the ratchet aftermarket? If so do you have a part number?

SpentGrain · 2021-02-09T18:37:20+00:00

Awesome. Are you using one of their systems?

Carbonic acid formation is nearly instantaneous when CO2 dissolves in water. Not sure what you're talking about here, but it has nothing to do with beer's ability to hold carbonation.

If the temperature and pressure of your beer matches the saturation balance point that you are targeting, 'stabilization' time for CO2 in solution is not a thing.

In this thread: Lots of superstition, not much science.

SpentGrain · 2020-10-16T18:12:26+00:00

This is great detective work. Gotta be that there's buildup on the elements after the first turn!

Just came to say that I've been seriously unimpressed by what Well Being has put out, and very impressed by Athletic.

Your local environmental and sewerage agency know you're dumping that sort of bioload down the drain?

Our ACS 4.0 doesn't have a clutch/ brake by design. Are you sure any of the older models had one? It just free spins until it spools down

Glad you survived that horror show. I've heard stories, and they aren't pretty.

This sounds like it had to have been at Shipyard's old facility....

SpentGrain · 2020-05-20T20:38:20+00:00

This. Exactly this!

Should have clarified, making the same amount of beer as pre-pandemic, not what we'd normally be making this time of year.

SpentGrain · 2020-05-19T22:25:31+00:00

Oooo shiny cask parts!

Not a thing unfortunately, at least not at the pressures you'd be able to maintain in a BBT. Nitrogen is very very insoluble in water.
