I use it late in the boil, a minute or two before Whirlfloc, at the same rate but calculated according to the post boil volume, so a smaller addition (for me the additions are around 2g and 1.4g.)^^^^This.Forget you ever heard about 45/45/10. It's a limiting factor for those with the component parts. It is actual a hindrance and many who were using the Antioxin SBT blend were having to increase BtB dose anyway when meta levels got lower and lower.Step 1: Find Meta dose (0.689g)Step 2: Duplicate that dose with AA (0.689g)Step 3: Dose BtB per manufacturer

That's actually exactly what I did! I'm at my second infusion and I'm afraid I didn't hit my beta test temp... I'm stuck at 130. Super worried this won't work!Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
This has been the most civil LODO thread I've ever read. What is the world coming to where people all get along like this?
I didn't realize it was such a contentious topic. I'm always looking for ways to improve my brewing and thought I'd give it a try if people have had success with it. Now that I've tried it on my 3 tier system, I'm realizing I'd have been better off just using a BIAB in my kettle so I could direct heat and recirc. Thanks to all who participated in this conversation!Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So much so that the LODO adherents moved to their own forum. Birds of a feather I guess. Most of those brewers used to frequent this site.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys like Hoosierbrew and the like. At the end of the day it’s not about LOB. It’s about people not liking being told how to brew lager by an experienced lager brewer.

Will the posts be archived somewhere? Or is it just the forum? So much valuable information that can't be found elsewhere.
