Looks like a great approach.

Has anyone tried this technique with the Fullers ESB (WLP002 etc.) strain?

Brilliant! - That's great as that calculator is the best

I did this recently and damaged the outpost.

Where is the best place to purchase replacement poppet valves? Is it still can direct?

Cheers for the reply.
I might even split it in half or 4 x 30 ml as I have sterilised micro vials and store 3 of them and step up the remaining 30 ml first into 200 ml then to 2000 ml for a 1.040 OG beer.

I have successfully dry hopped after the initial vigorous primary fermentation (so 24 - 48 hours after pinching) and can report great hop aroma. I leave the hops in there for the rest of primary (1 week with Fullers yeast) before crash cooling and moving to cask with aux finings etc.

Cheers!

Nice experiment =D> :D As a flavour chemist your findings are not surprising. Some of the tasting panel maybe super tasters where bitterness or sweetness etc. is concerned. Others may be anosmic (smell or taste blind) to certain componets but not others! As an example the flavour chemical gamma-Deca...
