thanks lads

Hey - 6 brews under my belt...still very new. My recent brew involved a recipe that used Amylo 300 at day zero (when first putting into carboy). This is a 'magic juice' that brings the FG to 1.000 from, I'm told, from anywhere. In any event - it works. my OG was 1.042...and the recipe builder...

or behind the wood shed!

Gents, Thanks for all the input....as I'm quite new to brewing, I'm still bottling - I do like to share what I've created so bottles may stick around for a while. Truly an education here and it's great to join such a helpful community. Cheers, Dean

Fair play! Indeed, I'll keep to the recipe, this time, and dry hop today, day 3. Next time, perhaps I'll try a later hop addition. I'm on my way to brewing more artistically than via science.... Cheers, to all. Dean

Hi Nosybear, Thanks for adding.....Indeed, I do believe I'm currently at high krauesen today. I've read that adding hops at this point does not permit the full flavouring that I should be looking for. Adding 3oz of pelletized hops either today.....or later, based on JA's comments.... I think...

Thanks JA, the recipe I'm using is from one here, on brewers friend, and it does state to dry hop (yes pellets) on day 3 of fermentation....as you've noted, all my reading does suggest to wait until fermentation has completed to benefit fully from the flavouring of the hops. I'll amend, based...

Hi JA. thanks for this....for clarity, it appears that I simply add the hops as quickly as possible and no dextrose syrup solution at this point as you've noted that the oxygen will likely be expelled without any help. thanks again. Cheers, Dean

Good day all. I'm a new brewer...onto my 4th batch and have found the recipe for Ramblin' Rose - Smash IPA....looking good so far! My brew is fermenting in a 6.5 gallon, glass carboy and the recipe calls for a 3oz dry hop today...on day 3 of what I expect to be a 10 day process in the carboy...
