remembering my last trip to Switzerland had me thinking a lot about a munich dunkel brewed by a good friend there. awesome maltyness, flavor/aroma! he said it was a just a basic dunkel with traditional hallertauer bittering hops and Strisselspalt for flavoring and dry hopping. i had never...

So.. my last batch did not go as planned and I ended up having to dump the batch due to bottle bombs. I just received some Azacca hops from Yakima Valley's Black Friday deal. I have never used these hops and was going to do a modified SMaSH :) Please let me know if you would do anything...

I have been brewing quite a while, but I have decided to start experimenting with dry hopping. For my current batch, I am making 2.5 gallons of a basic IPA. After the beer had dropped to a SG of about 1.020, I added 1/2 ounce of pellet hops to the fermenter, contained in a stainless mesh hop...

Hey everyone, I’m using a Kveik strain of yeast which is currently fermenting at around 90 degrees and wondering if that would be too warm to dry hop. Will I get off aromas? Thanks!

There seems to be an issue when adding hops to a recipe in the recipe builder and using grams as the unit. It looks like there's some rounding issue as incrementing the number of grams only seems to update the IBU for that addition (and the whole recipe) after a few grams rather than linearly...

I did have an item here but I discovered where I went wrong... My recipe had Hops down as Pellets.... My Inventory has the Hops as Leaf.. hence the Brew Session was , quite rightly , unable to deduct it.

Does the pressure inside keg affect the effect of dry hops?

Hello all, So I will be starting home brewing shortly and after my friend and I make a German Hefeweizen this coming week, we will tackle a strawberry NEIPA. While using BF for calculating everything, I have found an issue with my calculated IBUs. On the recipe page, it is showing it being...

I'm putting together a kit to do small batch (1.5-2 gallons) all grain BIAB. I've started to look at grain bills for recipes I would like to try, but the recipes include amounts that are only small fractions of the smallest amounts I can purchase online. I'm trying to find a local homebrew...

I already own a great digital kitchen scale that's accurate 2 grams and up... need one that's accurate 2 grams and below must be sturdy with good track record... don't want to spend more than $25 If you guys or gals have a recommendation would you please post a link -- Mark

Hi there! Just today I noticed some new odd behavior in the hop bill section of the recipe builder. Starting temp times for all additions are now defaulting to 212C, and my dry hop additions are suddenly showing a utilization of 0.070, where before they were 0. Even if I manually enter in 0% in...

I love to grow stuff, and have wanted to grow hops for a few years now, next year is the year. I just moved into my new and hopefully last house in Monument, CO, and they will start my landscaping late this week or early next. I know it is to late to get anything going this year, so I will...

how long will hop pellets last if kept sealed and frozen to still be useful?

Im preparing my hop yard, and also learning how to wash yeast, and also working on capturing wild yeast. Is it possible to capture yeast from a mix of berries and flowers? Also could we mix yeast, per example saison washed yeast with wheast beer yeast?

I'm looking for suggestions on a stout recipe I came up with. I know, I know... summer is coming. Why am I brewing a stout? I have had this itch to brew a really creamy, silky stout for a while now. I brewed one last year and it came out a little too thin for my liking. I figured I'd give it a...

Hi, I am new to Brewer's Friend (3rd brew coming this week) and have been brewing for about a year. I mostly do BIAB and my question is in regards to hop absorption rate in the equipment profile settings. I don't typically bag my hops during the boil and I siphon almost everything from my kettle...

I just finished brewing my first Saison (day 3 in primary). When I added the Saaz hops I really loved the aroma. Has anyone brewed an IPA or pale using Saaz? What other hops did you use and what for? (bittering, dry hop, etc) I'd be very interested to understand how an IPA with lower AA hops...

Hi, what's up. We run a small brewery in central-eastern Europe. We've been searching for some new varieties of american hops. We would like to import them directly from the USA, especially that some other breweries would like to join us. Eventually something like 5-10 tons of hops once a 2...

I brewed an apa with Cascade hops for bittering and dry hopping. My boys don't like the clove flavor. What can I use that would be mildly citrusy without the clove notes?
