Can you do a saison in 160 heat or is that too much?
My AC crapped out yesterday, 82 degrees in my house which is almost unbearable for a fat Canadian boy like me.
Sure, but it would ferment in 23 minutes. I mean, be ready to keg that.
What’s wrong with the airco… Don’t know about repair rates up in the great white north, but down here the DIY vs professional is about 1:4…
Some things I cannot do… like charging refrigerant. But changing fan motors, mother boards etc is not hard.
There’s a little red blinking LED somewhere in your system…either on the thermostat, or inside the compressor on the mother board…count the flashes…it’s an error code then…read the instructions (GASP)…
Compressor is shot. Changed out capacitors etc with no success, windings are good so it’s probably the piston in the compressor. Looking at about $1000 for a new compressor so now the debate is to replace the compressor on an out of warranty AC or replace for 2.5X the cost.
Tough choice…
+1 My dry hop bags always sink after a few days anyway.
I bought a dozen boxes of womens sock foot pantyhose , they were about 50 cents for two pair at a dollar store. They work even better than a hop sock, finer so nothing comes out but flavor. And new, so no foot smell unless pedio rears its ugly head.
Do they sink even when using whole hops?
Well, they haven’t sunk yet and my air conditioner is still broken.
Dude, major suckage.
Dry hops are a nice way to add a little more balance to the beer. I use a muslin bag to contain the hops.
Another suggestion is to try getting some hop extract which will also help balance the beer.
One more idea is to increase the CO2 volume a slight bit to give a perception of lighter body which will also help to balance the beer.
