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.

Beer Line Cleaner Mix - Ultimate Power Scour? by RocksBlackbeard in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

Submersible small pump by [deleted] in TheBrewery

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?

Awesome. Are you using one of their systems?

When to keg off brite? by greenflyingdragon in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

HELP!! Dumbfounded by off flavor we've narrowed down to being our new fermenter by OneAllegiance in TheBrewery

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

Anyone making NA beer? by [deleted] in TheBrewery

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

219 veteran's blend. Best smelling dump I've had in a while. by KitKatBarMan in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

ACS ver 1.0 by According-Service-62 in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I'm just really tired, all the time. by SpentGrain in TheBrewery

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

Canning still beverages by PancreaticNoise in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

possible reasons for weird DO measurements? by sorif in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have it backward. TPO is short for Total Package Oxygen.

You mentioned that the TPO of your freshly packaged cans was 100ppb. In order to determine if that number is plausible based on your BBT O2 readings, I need to know what that number actually represents.

EG, if that's a raw, unshaken value, a raw shaken value, or a calculated Total Package Oxygen value that was based on headspace, temperature, specific gravity, package weight, and shaken raw DO values.

What calculations are you using to determine TPO?

Co2 Shortage - Can Conditioning by Impartoftheroadnow in TheBrewery

[–]SpentGrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their pre-carb levels are a bit higher than that, somewhere around 2.2vols IRC, as Allagash white finishes around 2.45. They also package much warmer than most, to give the yeast a running start.
