Go on show us your trub cone.

[Vermelho]

This is the first proper trub cone I've gotten. I whirlpool with a drill, remove the chiller and leave for about 20 mins. It shows the ss brewtech trub stopper actually works as well. I do get marginal trub into the fermentor though.

[Leann ull]

Thats the one!
A bit of trub is grand and will help fermentation.

I modded the "deck drain" with an inch of copper pipe stuck in it now just to avoid picking up the real heavy stuff that was drifting in as can been seen on those earlier pics, I loose 3-4 litres but just factor it in at the start.
The 20 min rest on a whirlpool really helps let the heavy crud fall out.

I have a brew off coming up with Fishjam on Friday which I'm sure we will document to the forum on the day and will really test it as the amount of hops we are about to burn is scaring the shit out of me

Bit of fun today doing a joint Brewday with Fishjam making NEIPA, 750g of hops in 60l mental stuff, and the smell was amazing!

[DEMPSEY]

750 grams that's mental

[armedcor]

Lads 750g of hops holy hell! What a dose!

I wonder how much residual acid would be imparted in to that beer? I always get really bad heart burn from very heavily hopped IPAs & put it down to higher levels of acidic chemicals (alpha acids etc) that are in the beer.

You sure it's acids, you could be allergic, pea soup anyone? Another 250 to be dh'd into these 2 yet.
1st nominal addition at 4 mins and the rest whirlpooled at 80
Makes the Pliny clone I did look like HH13.
It could be a complete balls up but sure hey nothing ventured! Smells incredible

[DEMPSEY]

Vermount yeast by any chance being used

[molc]

Well my last dipa had 500g for 20L, so that would be 1.5kg in your batch
Probably still needed more hops

Allergic maybe or it just could the complete OTT level of hops in some of the beers CH I am wondering are you using the hop strainer with those beers?

Look at his pic he like to go commando 

[Leann ull]

What's a hop strainer?

No couldn't get it experimenting with 2 others.
If they are good it's nationals if they are shite I'll tell ya

[kegging]

Those hop additions look like that 3 gods recipe.

What yeast you use? I went for James Bond.

[Leann ull]

James Bond? Oh yeah 007 was one of them
