    Is 50.00 a good offer because the co2 tank might be worth that.

    Ok if you’re going to swap beers for the remote meeting I will leave a cooler on my front porch. So far I have 4 people swapping.

    Please no huge format bottle or be ok with some being dumped. I can’t do a 22oz 15% stout.

    I am excited to try your beers on Wednesday!

    Cheers

    It seems like we have enough people to swap. Let’s do if your bring a bottle take a bottle.

    I will put a cooler in front of my house on Tuesday. Drop on by and for every bottle you bring take a bottle back and pick from what is there.

    My address is

    6391 Brooks Drive Arvada, CO 80004

    I will post on this tread when the cooler is out on Tuesday. Both me and @abandler will have some beers in there to get started.

    Cheers

    Ryan, Aaron, and I have all had great results but there are a few things you have to do to get a great Pseudo Lager.

    1. You want to ferment warm but not to warm. It seems like mid to high 70s is the sweet spot.

    2. You want to do a normal yeast pitch 200 billion cell min.

    3. You need yeast nutrient and lots of it. Kveik is real hungry at low temps, and to Kveik below 85 is considered a low temp.

    4. You want to fine it with bio fine or gelatin.

    5. Pick a strain that is know to have a clean crisp finish. Oslo, Lutra, Skare, or Krispy would be good choices.

    I am sure Ryan has other tips but it does work and work well.

    You can make great IPAs with Kveik! Voss is easy to get dry and makes great IPA. It will chew through a high gravity IPA in 3 days at up to 100 degrees. It’s crazy stuff.

    Funny you ask. My last Podcast episode was an interview with Five Star and we talked about beer stone. https://homebrewingdiy.beer/index.php/2020/05/07/episode-36-cleaning-and-sanitizing-your-brewery-with-emily-lavato-or-five-star-chemicals/

    She talks about pasivacation of your stainless. She said once a year you want to build an oxygen layer so you get less buildup in general. You can take straight undeluted starsan and rub it straight into your stainless to build of an oxygen layer. Listen to the show it’s all in there.
