    Rye IPA

    Figured I would ask for a little feedback a earlier in my process this time. Making a Rye IPA based off a recipe from 4G’s. Couple of questions, you think I have enough rice hulls in there? Worried about the flaked stuff turning to sticky porridge. Also the original recipe called for a dry hop...

    Belgiany Witbier

    Would love some feedback, was requested by a coworker to go for something wheaty/Belgian. Grain bill is adapted from a few different Weissbier / Witbier recipes I’ve reviewed, I’ve also had great success with the Ardennes yeast so would like to have another batch with it. Have never used...

    Black Ipa

    Started with one of Palmers recipes for a black ipa and applied hops on hand. Obviously Kveik isn’t standard for this style but I’ve read a lot of success stories of folks brewing many styles with this yeast (and I have it on hand). Same story for the hops, I’m using what I have cryosealed in...

    Soda Stream Suds

    :)My wife asked me a funny question today that stumped me. If you were to put chilled wort ( like chilled in a fridge for a couple days to clarify) and then shot it full of gas in a soda stream, what would you have? Non alcoholic carbonated “non-beer” anyways, there is the silly question of...

    Equipment Profile Water Losses

    Just curious about two settings in the equipment profile set up. Recently got a new kettle with a trub dam on the pick up tube. Looks like it will be an awesome design, but it leaves about 500-750ml behind in the kettle when transferring. I have included this in “Kettle Losses” I also have...

    Refractometer for FG

    Hi folks, I believe I recently read a post on here from a fellow brewer that a refractometer can be used for 2-3 days in a row to check stabilized gravity. Understanding the actual reading won’t be accurate, I’m talking about pulling a small sample and simple checking for a similar readings to...

    Dry Hop Exposure

    Hi team, just looking for some thoughts, tips, opinions, methods etc. to both dry hop at the appropriate time, and not to have excessive hop exposure to avoid the dreaded "veggie, grassy flavours" If the best time for many recipes is to dry hop during active fermentation, but I've been told to...

    Bottle Conditioning

    Another home brewer (not on this forum) previously advised me that for most consistent carbonation I should swirl the sediment in my bottles a week or so after bottling. I have also read to keep from disrupting bottles in any way if at all possible. Can someone help clarify for me. Obviously...

    Finings?

    Hello folks, trying to understand finings, and if or when to use. I previously attempted a small batch of "hazy" ipa and it turned out a little hazy at the 2 week mark, but quickly turned a funky colour after another week or so, I have since read a few articles stating that bottle conditioning a...

    Simple Lauter Tun Set Up

    Hi folks, slowly trying to get my process sorted and I am going to next move from 1 gallon to 3.0 gallon batch using Fermonster carboy. Looking for any advice on lautering, to be honest in my first few batches this seems to be where my process kind of turned into a circus show, as I had a small...

    Dry Hopping Beer Reduction

    Hi all, just getting going, started with a Brooklyn Brew kit and now onto my fourth batch buying ingredients from my local Home Brew supply. I’m still using the small 1 gallon fermenter and have been having a bunch of fun so far. My challenge is with the small vessel, when I dry hop - I seem to...
