Hetkela Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I used liquid hops when the droid prompted me to add dry hops. This happened on day 7 of brewing. On day 8 the droid dropped the temp to 4 degrees. it is now day 10 and still brewing. I am just concerned because estimated brewing time is 5 to 7 days. Has anyone else had this issue? I am concerned that there might be an issue with the Yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 No need to be concerned. A dry hopped beer will go to storage ( going to 4 degrees) after you put the hops in. Nothing wrong with yeast, working as intended. It will get to ready to keg, probably in the next day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that’s without using the new dry hop function. Yours finished on target it’s just that the new dry hop function adds a few days to the program, your on the way and nothing is wrong.

Rob Courtney Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Sooooo, if I forgot to order a Y3 yeast when i ordered my last order, with the ingredients for a tall tale...what's the substitute? I mean, I am narrowed down in stock anyways that if free delivery comes up, I'll jump on it...do have a spare Y1 for some reason...I swear, I must get smashed before I work out an order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look that up couldn’t you just grab some at the local brew shop and then weigh out half for a 10 litre brew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 So, I got my order today so I used a Y3 that I ordered. Will keg this one to see how the flow goes again, did fire up the Flow to make sure it still goes...and it does. Will have to spend some time this weekend to sanatise the bejesus out of all the kegging stuff so I am ready to go. Interested to see how this one goes, are people just putting the 25gms of hops in?

Received my order yesterday as well so all set up for quite a while. I still run with 25g of hops however if a recipe calls for 2 different types of hops I’ll go 15 to 20g of each depending on the brew. I personally don’t “over hop” (my term) as I feel it can over power the other brewing ingredients. There are of course exceptions where the hops are the issue eg with an Extra Citra PA, Hop-Sessed Session IPA etc. 40 to 50g the go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the amount of hops per brew is an interesting one, there are some like the Czech Pilsner that I feel 50 gms is just right and others in the lager pilsner range that are made worse when you step over 20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find with the amount of hops I use I work on min 48hrs but try for 3 to 4 days with good results IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow it’s overwhelming. according to one source, between 4 and 8 g/L (20-40g per droid) Is a good rule as anymore won’t get you a better beer same guy also quoted a 5-10-15 rulE Pale Ale 5 g/L (50g) IPA 10 g/L (100g) Double IPA 15 g/L (150g) not sure about that one... BUT have some experiments going and can’t wait to share the results currently have two droids doing an Irish red and plan and hopping one with goldings and the other with fuggles (which autocorrects to giggles) can’t wait to compare those two I used to think I loved Kilkenny until I tried it again in a pub (from the can) and while delicious, was seriously lacking who would’ve known brewing your own would put so many tried and true beers of the past to shame 🤞🏼 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 @J P I reckon 75 to 100g in the droid is good for an IPA, it’s great for a hoppy pale ale too. Smaller amounts for subtle hop flavours in lagers and real ales. The science says 8.5g /L is where the flavour curve hits the sweet spot. I’m buying hops in 1 kg quantities so I find it simpler to break the bulk bag down into 25 or 50g packages before they go in the freezer and then dose my brews accordingly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 First time I kegged a brew in probably 12 months, I surprised myself with how methodical I was with the process Will have to do a video or picture story for it ( might go the video though so I can do the conection to the bag again Will let that sit til I get back from wintter holidays in July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
