Man, been drinking in San Diego for most of the afternoon. Cask and Proper Real Keg were in abundance. I managed to chronicle my latest brewing adventure on Friday. I have NEVER seen a yeast ferment like WLP-007. From 1.060 to who knows what in a couple of days. It's slowed down significantly within the last day. Enjoy this special film.

Good vid. I also liked the fact that you dissed CraigTube, I did once try to get across that you could make better beer if you added malt extract instead of sugar, his reply was that it was too expensive.

If I want to drink alcoholic dish water I'd go out and buy carlsberg.

Nice work Whorst.

'scuse my ignorance but... What's Proper real keg?

Good vid BTW!

Excellent job Whorst!

Proper Real Keg is a pun of sorts. I started the name largely due to people who think there is no beer beyond cask ale. My definition, Proper Real Keg is a beer that has been lightly filtered and not pasteurized. Most US craft beer is Proper Real Keg. Home brewed beer that's served in a corny keg also qualifies.

I just checked the gravity on this. I pitched early Friday afternoon. It went from 1.060 to 1.014 in about three days!! I imagine it will drop a few more points. Big time tropical fruit aroma and flavor. I'm sold on WLP-007. Very fast, brings out hops.

Great job Whorst.
Quickie: How are you filtering all those hops out of the boil?

I start a whirlpool and wait about a half hour. Then, I siphon off the side of the kettle. I use pellets, so they get mixed up with all the trub.

Am I the only forumite who looks at all of Whorst's post without necessarily reading them?

Sorry, what was that? I was distracted for a moment
