Hey, everyone! Figured I'd fire up a homebrewing community and see if there's any takers.

I know you're out there, just as I was out there lurking on other similar sites. :D

Come here and brag with your latest creation. I'll start, just brewed an unexpected wee heavy using Eitrhem kveik.

Cheers!

Nice one. Just got into kegging myself, with a 9.5 L corny keg, to only bottle half the batch now. Saves so much time. And I feel myself getting the itch to buy a new FermZilla and a pressure fermentation kit + a couple more kegs aaaand I'm already having some difficulties imagining how I'm going to store them all.

Cause otherwise I tried brewing something hoppier and my process just yields muted hop flavours, so I leaned into the maltier sorts first.

I've been brewing IPAs in plastic buckets for years, and I make some pretty good ones without taking too much special care. I don't really think a whole pressure fermentation kit is necessary to make hoppy beers. I do think kegging makes a big difference. I imagine bottling could result in a lot more oxygen ingress. I also can drink my kegged beer the next day, so that's nice.
