Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
I may be inspired by good beers and I like to find out how they're brewed, and what with, but I'm not interested in 'cloning' anything. I'm not...
I don't know - I find hop pellets are more sour and not as salty. Does depend on variety though. Those long eared domestic rabbits produce the...
Brewed this Thursday night. It's been chugging along since Friday afternoon, beauty inch thick brown krausen going. 9# MO 1 # CaraMunich, 60 L...
A DIPA is just a high gravity IPA. Not really double though - that would be 12 - 14% ABV. You'd want to up your hops proportionately.
Blichman makes a hop back for homebrewers called the Hop Rocket, I think. It's in the NB catalog.
You know, I just noticed the note on the honey addition. Shouldn't you put that in while the wort is hot enough to sterilize it?
Looks pretty good. I might move the 45 and 50 minute Cascade additions to later in the boil, or even to the dry hop, but I'm sure it will be good...
I can't access your recipe - it says that it's marked private. Hard to go wrong with Citra and Cascade.
I didn't realize how high the AA% is for Pac Gem. Seems like most of the S Hemisphere hops are high alpha dual purpose. I guess for me a stout...
You know, if it were me, and as you know it isn't, I'd throw all of the hops in at 60 minutes. Btw, that's a New Zealand hop, isn't it? I've got...
I've got a lb of EKG, could have gone with that, but I wanted to use some of my Southern Hemisphere hops. You might be right about the Mag, but...
I'm brewing my first mild tomorrow. Can't really change much now - I already crushed the grain - but here's the recipe: Por-Mo Mild Maris Otter -...
Only one way to find out. Are you talking about roasted unmalted wheat? I haven't seen that, but I can't see why it wouldn't be good. Roast barley...
Is that the SkittleBrau?
I finally got off my lazy ace and brewed my first for the year. It's an APA (5 Gall) with 6# 2-row, 4#Munich, 8 oz Caramunich, Amarillo hopped....
Good post, but I'm lazier. Too lazy to fin...
If it's a decent deal, I don't see how you can go wrong. If you have a setup for 10 Gallons, you can still do 5 gallon batches.
I love the simplicity. That's a no doubter - if that's not good shizznitt, you screwed up. I'm about to brew a similar beer: 6# 2 row, 4 # Munich,...
That looks good to me. That's a pretty big beer to pitch a tube of yeast straight in to. Are you making a starter?
I agree. Letting them soak overnight does the trick. Some brands come off more readily, but they'll all soak off eventually.
