Thank you all for the responses, I will experiment some with whirl pool and dry hopping suggestions. I just returned from a trip for a family emergency and just now read the responses. Going to brew a low ABV Hazy IPA next and use quite a few hops in the whirlpool and dry hop. I have seen a...

I am a BIAB type all grain brewer, use a 10 gallon pot, conical fermenter, and more often do a closed transfer to my keg. My beer comes out pretty good based on inputs from my co-workers and friends. I have read and watched videos on hop additions for flavor and aroma. It varies from late in...

Thank you for the response. I think the consensus is the hops should be ok until I decide to drop them in 4 days. I was contemplating adding an additional ounce of each of the hops 3 days before I cold crash and package in a keg, but then I risk opening the fermenter after fermentation and...

That's not a bad idea , thanks!

Thank you for the response and maybe I am worrying too much about this. The hops (1oz packets) were in the refrigerator prior to them being used not frozen. Is it best to always freeze them prior to use even if its for a few days? Thanks

Thank you for the informative response, Dry hopping and wet hopping can be confusing for sure! I guess my situation was neither really, just a mishap and I dropped my hops in the wort! I agree with you on reading and posts, I have some medical issues and decided to read up online on them, boy...

I haven't brewed in a while, but his past weekend I brewed a NEIPA. I wanted to try the magnetic drop method so I had 6 ounces of hops in a mesh filter that I was going to hold with a magnetic and drop after day 7. I mistakenly dropped the filter into my wort and it didn't sink but went under...

Thanks for the advice, it was so easy with the grainfather, just plug and play kind of. I will check hydrometer and I didn't know about the iodine test, but just saw a video on it. I may look into my own mill , will ask More Beer if they can run it through twice but not sure if they will even...

1. Because our local Homebrew store closed I order online from More Beer so not sure of exact size, I can check with them but may not get that answer. 2. I usually do a 60 minute mash, maintaining my temp and usually will do a recirc by hand the last 15 minutes. 3. I use a Hydrometer for...

Yes , my boil off rate was around .75 gallons for the bigger batches and its usually 1.25 for the smaller batches.

I have gone back to the basics, I previously used a Grainfather G30, doing 5 gallon batches and was kegging my beer. Numbers were very close and beers were excellent! I decided to go smaller scale and less brewing, personal choice. I just use a mash tun with a false bottom and a second boil...

Ok thanks for the response, I have never dry hopped in the keg, usually only in the primary fermenter, so I might give that a try and see how it comes out!

Thanks I will check that out, I am using a hop tube now, but may try using something different next brew!

Thanks for the response, I will probably try different procedures over my next couple of brews.

Thanks for the timely response, its good to get other perspectives based on experience!
