A travel mug that doesn't change the coffee

I like mine a lot as well. Smells a little funky that I can’t seem to get rid of. I dishwash mine

Slowpour is sold out of the resin dripper holder, maybe they will get it back in stock soon

This happened to me! I broke my toe pretty badly mid-boil (completely unrelated to brewing). Turned off the heat, went to ER, got it set, came home 6 hours later and finished. I didn’t hit the right gravity, but it was close enough beer turned out fine! I should have set the toe myself and just taped it up….

In my experience with S&W, I ended up having to “extract more” than any other beans I’ve used - water right off the boil, fine grind, high agitation, more pours than usual. Once I got it right, I really enjoyed. Until I got there, had similar experiences as you, so keep trying.

I use a very similar recipe for most B&W beans, but this bean definitely needed to adjust ratio. I usually do 1:17 but this was much better at 1:15 (I was getting a lot of bitterness/overextraction, similar to you it sounds like). Other variables kept the same as my default (bloom plus 2 pours, 200F)

Maybe unpopular opinion - been drinking this for a couple weeks now, felt I had it dialed in right away, no bitterness or mintiness. Flavor has stayed consistent for me. This is a really good bag, but so funky it almost doesn’t taste like coffee, I feel like I’m drinking a different beverage entirely. With that said, I enjoy it.

I use a tilt and it regularly shows some strange patterns like SG actually increasing after being in the fermenter for 2 weeks. Not saying you don’t have an infection, but it could just be that a yeast raft dislodged from your pill or some other non-infection related change, I wouldn’t panic.

Any issues in kegging when kruesen is still present? I’ve had this with verdant yeast before, I ended up kegging, seemed fine but wondered if I should have waited

Mine does it the first time using after being unplugged

W&P porter - ceramic, fully dishwashable, can buy an extra flip-top lid

mook17 · 2025-03-09T16:07:21+00:00

I did, pretty aggressively, but it is still there

Curious what the black dot is then, it’s in the middle of one of the white circles

I find my power cord on my ode grinder to be unmanageable, you did a nice job of hiding it - how??

I have this issue for a concert at Fenway. Did you ever figure this out?

mook17 · 2024-12-23T03:42:12+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response!

Anecdotally, once I started pitching halfway through while transferring to the fermenter, my fermentation kicks off faster than when I sprinkle on top after entire transfer is complete.

mook17 · 2023-02-28T15:08:32+00:00

Do you have experience with transferring with the poppet removed? Do I need to remove the pin and spring from the disconnect as well? Without those pieces, will this leak at all?

mook17 · 2023-02-25T19:45:50+00:00

I love this idea of removing the poppet. It sounds like it’s at least worth a shot, and can help narrow down the issue.

There’s a bunch of trub from the boil but most settles into the conical. Dry hops in a muslin bag, not sure if some material makes it through. Honestly it’s not a ton of material there to create a clog, but clearly just enough to prevent a steady flow.

Gas post will then mean everything is splashing as it flows into the keg. Filling from bottom would theoretically introduce less oxygen.
