Thank you for the response. I think the consensus is the hops should be ok until I decide to drop them in 4 days. I was contemplating adding an additional ounce of each of the hops 3 days before I cold crash and package in a keg, but then I risk opening the fermenter after fermentation and...

That's not a bad idea , thanks!

Thank you for the response and maybe I am worrying too much about this. The hops (1oz packets) were in the refrigerator prior to them being used not frozen. Is it best to always freeze them prior to use even if its for a few days? Thanks

Thank you for the informative response, Dry hopping and wet hopping can be confusing for sure! I guess my situation was neither really, just a mishap and I dropped my hops in the wort! I agree with you on reading and posts, I have some medical issues and decided to read up online on them, boy...

I haven't brewed in a while, but his past weekend I brewed a NEIPA. I wanted to try the magnetic drop method so I had 6 ounces of hops in a mesh filter that I was going to hold with a magnetic and drop after day 7. I mistakenly dropped the filter into my wort and it didn't sink but went under...

Thanks for the advice, it was so easy with the grainfather, just plug and play kind of. I will check hydrometer and I didn't know about the iodine test, but just saw a video on it. I may look into my own mill , will ask More Beer if they can run it through twice but not sure if they will even...

1. Because our local Homebrew store closed I order online from More Beer so not sure of exact size, I can check with them but may not get that answer. 2. I usually do a 60 minute mash, maintaining my temp and usually will do a recirc by hand the last 15 minutes. 3. I use a Hydrometer for...

Yes , my boil off rate was around .75 gallons for the bigger batches and its usually 1.25 for the smaller batches.

I have gone back to the basics, I previously used a Grainfather G30, doing 5 gallon batches and was kegging my beer. Numbers were very close and beers were excellent! I decided to go smaller scale and less brewing, personal choice. I just use a mash tun with a false bottom and a second boil...

Ok thanks for the response, I have never dry hopped in the keg, usually only in the primary fermenter, so I might give that a try and see how it comes out!

Thanks I will check that out, I am using a hop tube now, but may try using something different next brew!

Thanks for the response, I will probably try different procedures over my next couple of brews.

Thanks for the timely response, its good to get other perspectives based on experience!

I have read discussions of when and how long to dry hop and it seems to vary, based on hops used, how much taste and aroma or lack of. I am sure it's been discussed here , I checked the forum and saw a few discussions but none really on time and what to put the hops in. I usually ferment 3-5...

Thank you all for the informative responses, I will continue to try and lower the carb in this beer, I have given away 3 growlers so far everyone said it was pretty good but not as good as my previous beers. Maybe they were being gracious since its free beer..lol I am going to attempt a...

My usual serving pressure is 10-11 psi, I have it at 5 now and will continue to try and release some of the pressure, thank you for the response!

Thanks Brian, I will continue to try and depressurize this beer with all the means mentioned above. Pouring the beer and drinking and repeating seems the best option ...lol

Thank you will continue trying different things!

I appreciate the response, I did have an issue with fermentation but not sure if there is an infection, the beer is drinkable, but a little more bitter than I expected. I will attempt to depressurize a few more times.. thanks

My last two brews I have had a problem with over carbonation. I have a quick carb lid and followed the directions as I have done in previous brews and packaging. I have tried everything to uncarbonate the beer from disconnecting the gas, purging the keg, letting it sit for hours etc. My...
