Looks like some Willamette, Cascade, Chinook and some Fuggle. Thanks Craig in the freezer they go.

Helped my neighbor behind me take down hops today. Separated several pounds of Chinook hops. Here's a good video of Andrew describing his operation.

Awesome. A quick cool is a big key to defeating chill haze.

Going to keg the IPA I have currently being dry hopped tomorrow. simcoe and amarillo are by far my favorite combo for hoppy beer.

Typically I found that I could achieve a much clearer beer through Secondary fermentation....at least that's what I did in the past (ferment in the better bottle and then to the glass car boy). I also found that secondary fermentation allows my IPAs to finish cleaner. This liquid yeast was more of a combo lager yeast as well so I am definitely going the secondary route with this batch. But now that you mention this perhaps I will go pick up some Knox Unflavored Gelatin for the future.

Going to try my hand at some mead.

https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/ ... etal-mead/

Yikes....the cost of the honey alone is prohibitive! 15 lbs? $10 a pound? Might be sticking to beer.

Maybe I will start off here:

My Oktoberfest is good. Sweet toasted caramel taste up front, clean finish with the secondary fermentation. A good beer.

What yeast was used, does it have some of the funk?
