    Show me your gardening Progress

    After vacation, I finally got into the garden for a bit yesterday. I harvested all the cilantro and set it out to dry. Also. I cut all the garlic scapes that showed up while I was gone. I made garlic oil by simmering the chopped up scapes in EVOO for a couple of hours and then after straining...

    1st IPA Ibu

    Yep. Keep it simple. Example 10# 2 row 12 oz Caramel 60 8 oz Carapils (not actually needed) Follow the hop schedule @Bigbre04 suggested above Pitch plenty of healthy Cali Ale Yeast and ferment cool 65-68° Another great hop to use would be Mosaic Cheers Brian

    Double Juicy IPA Hop Schedule

    Yep, I've used the exact same amoretti with great results but with dosing a seltzer. Again, you can dose to taste. I misread your initial post when you said 4.5 # thinking it said 4.5 gallon! Hahaha

    Double Juicy IPA Hop Schedule

    I really dislike lactose. The unfermented fruit juice will give you a nice amount of sweetness and you don't have to use it all. Post ferment and cold crash, dose a sample to see how much you want. I think 1 gallon per BBL is the most I've ever used

    Double Juicy IPA Hop Schedule

    Usually day 2 or 3 for the 1st round and then day 6 or 7 depending on how big it is. 75% on a new pitch, a bit higher on second gen. Last hazy we did we couldn't get the DH in as we were in steady blowoff and unfortunately that did clear up after a few weeks. Hindsight being 20/20, I should...

    Double Juicy IPA Hop Schedule

    Looks good, I'd do it with the hazy yeast though and move the dry hops up to day 3. Also maybe move the POG back until after cold crash so it doesn't ferment. My 2 cents Cheers Brian

    To Squeeze or not Squeeze you BIAB?

    In the end, it seems to be about chasing sugars. If you have things in line" pH, water ratios, temperature, etc" you should be getting decent efficiency. If you efficiency sucks, maybe look at all the factors before squeezing the crap out of the bag. I run north of 80% efficiency in my 1 BBL...
