Thanks for all the input fellas. I think I'm going to keep the hops bill but just stick to 11# 2 row c40 or c 60 .. still reading on the characteristics profile differences. carapils yeast WLP001

Thanks! definitely going for the west coast style on this one

Hello All, Will be making batch #3 of my house IPA. Trying to tweak it more to my liking. I used too much 60L (10%) in my last batch, so i'm bringing it down to 5%. Looking to add some Acid Malt to stabilize my mash ( currently only using carbon filtered water, no means to read ph right now)...

I registered to enter 3 styles. American IPA, American pale ale and TBD.

1. Harvesting yeast 2.Making Starters 3. Dial down water chem

Thanks for the feedback! Would you recommend cutting the El Dorado back to maybe .25 oz on the boil and keeping the amount for the late additions the same? or possibly a whirlpool for the 5 and 1 min addition?

I've never made a starter before but based on the yeast calculator and MFG date on the 1318 i should be okay on available yeast cells. 1.Why not move those to a whirlpool addition? - I was thinking of doing that also. Maybe 170F-180F for 20 -25 min? Citra - 1.75 oz and 1 oz of El Dorado? 2...

I had this same issue a few days ago. Brewed an ale and with my setup i have a fish tank pump recirculating ice cold water through chiller and could not get my wort to cool past 80. The ice in my cooler would melt faster than it would cool. (didn't have enough ice on hand, and i was running out...

Update: Blow off tube/Bung combo was not not working. It would pop off after 10 min or so. Had to go with the good ole airlock. Not worried about the bubble build up on the outside But I feel like this might pop off too.. luckily it’s in a chest freezer by itself at 68.

Sweet! That was my assumption from what I had gathered from other posts. Guess I just wanted/needed affirmation. Thanks guys!

So I’ve poked around on here and didn’t find anything specific but based on what I can gather. Having your airlock or in my case carboy bung connected to blow off hose completely pop off during the first day or so not cause much concern as far as oxygen exposure? Brewed a pale ale and pitched...
