Hello! So I did my first all grain ipa batch but it didn't turn out exactly how I planed. What I want is an ipa that's pretty clear with a brown, reddish color. Similar to maybe a dogfish 60 min or Sam Adams latitude 48. I use 13lbs of grain for a 5 gallon batch, and used a mixture of 2-row...

So I was in a hurry after finishing the boil. After cooling down in an ice tub(took close to 45 mins :/) I poured the wort in pretty fast. A large layer of foam appeared at the top. I pitched the yeast and sloshed it around but I still saw a thick layer of foam with some yeast sitting on top...

So I have started to heat my wort to boiling, an hour and a half later it is sitting at 210F. Not fully boiling, some bubbles are popping up here and there but I have to start because I have somewhere to be at 5. So i start pitching my hops. I am doing a 6.5 gallon boil on a standard electric...

Hello, I am about to start doing all grain. I have a recipe lined up and I am going to do a full boil of 6.5 gallons using my 8 gallon brew kettle. Question is, How much water is supposed to go into the mash tun? Im sure this varies depending upon what you want your OG to be, but to be honest I...

Okay, so I bought a Midwest supplies beer bucket. The spigot attached to it was kind of a PITA to install, but i finally got it. Sanitized it, brewed my beer, poured it in, and boom had 5 gallons of delicious IPA fermenting. Day 5 rolls along, time to dry hop. I slowly open the lid and notice...

Hey, sorry for the un-descriptive title. I am brewing using LME because I lack the equipment to start all grain brewing(Even though i really REALLY want to..) and I want to use crystal grains to add more flavors and sugars. With this being said, I want to know if it would be okay to add a lb of...

Hi everyone, I am moving up from a 2 gallon brew kit to a 6.5 fermenter. I constructed a recipe for a 5 gallon batch, and while I have the boiling part planned out, Im still not sure how much water to a)put in the fermenter before I pour in the cooled wort and b) how much should go in after...

Planning on pitching 7.5g of this stuff for an IPA im brewing using a variety of hops. Bad idea, or good?:drunk:

Hey everyone! So I decided to buy some super light LME at my local brew supply. I tried using some wheat LME for an IPA im brewing but it didnt work out to well.. So, i decided to give super light a shot hoping it would be more neutral. However, I cant find anything on the internet about it...

Hello! I am a beginner brewer and I am working on a second batch that if Im lucky, should taste like an ipa. My question to you is, how much dextrose(corn sugar) should i put into individual 12 oz bottles? I know it is better to distribute the sugar first and then bottle, but I only have 2...
