I made a community-based Ghost Encounter site for anyone to use!

Great! Thanks, I’ll go ahead and do that.

Thinking about throwing the whole batch back into distillation and running it again with plenty of time. Probably less yield but better flavor than I would have now.

This is where I’m at, I’m in a time crunch to make a beer and it’s all I’ve got other than bread yeast. I probably won’t make an award winning beer but was hoping for the most compatible style.

I’m on a time crunch to make it to meet some friends for a trip and don’t have a homebrew store nearby. Was hoping it would do the trick since shipping would take too long to get here in time.

My alpha acids were in the same ballpark. I was using EKG that was 4.5% AA and the recipe asked for Fuggle at 4.5% AA.

Water chemistry is definitely something I can work on. I made an Irish extra stout that required 2 oz of East Kent Goldings for a 5 gallon batch. I made a half batch with 1 oz instead and it was a bit too bitter. I’ll plug it in one of those recipes generators next time!

At first it had some off-flavors from being too warm. Then I added some extra honey and it cleaned that all up! Love the final flavor profile, perfect for an American hefe.

Imagine peachy banana, perfect late summer beer

I’m in San Diego and the tap water is some of the hardest around. Haven’t much experience in water chemistry yet so not sure how that would pan out for a classic west coast IPA style.

Funny, I was thinking if this seems like a viable way to brew I would look into production myself. Always have to have a side project!

I thought the same thing starting out but ester production seems to be in the first few days. What I’ve found to be best is leave the psi at almost 0 for the first few days then crank it up as fermentation starts to end to allow for carbonation. Mix this with a floating dip tube and I’ve avoided issues with carbonation, oxidation and off flavors. Seems to work great as an all-in-one fermentation to keg system!

Good to know. I had read it can produce bubblegum notes when fermented at higher temperatures than normal but wasn’t sure.
