This guy is smiling because he knows what it is.
Apparently I have somehow been entirely ignorant and perhaps noticeably absent regarding all this talk about deoxygenated water and Brewtan, etc.Until today. Today I wasted hours reading up on all this sh!t. And that is my tentative conclusion: it is sh!t.The pseudo science and recommended practice of a 30 minute protein rest killed it for me, not to mention that a friend of mine can achieve "it" with a single infusion and nothing special other than using continental malt, hops, and the right yeast.Yes, I know what "it" is, and I love and crave "it". I think maybe I even can get close to "it" in my own beers. However this all also leads me to believe that there's little if any need to futz with this secretive fake sciency LODO and Brewtan stuff.I will let you guys run these experiments while I continue to play with "regular" decoction and efficiency. Results coming soon/eventually on my triangles.
Dave, I'm 99% certain Brewtan improved my beers with minimal effort. That's why we have 15 brewers lined up to do an experiment with it.
Or wait until the experiment is concluded to see if it's all just confirmation bias and magic fairy dust.

I haven't done my double batch yet (hoping to do it fairly soon, an APA with some of Ted H's hops) to see what people notice or don't. I notice improvement but that's anecdotal at this point. I've been wrong before.

I've been wrong before.The back to back batches I did were markedly different. But that's only a single test so I'm not drawing any definitive conclusions from it.
And wasn't that before dosage rates were correct as well?
