First off, I've looked at the great Partial Mash Walkthrough tread on HBT. Here are the vague instructions for my 5 gallon partial mash recipe. Place crushed grains in a steeping bag. Steep the grains at 155 F in 3.0 qts of water. OK I understand so far but for how long?30-45 mins? Remove...

OK so I've only dry hopped once and I used whole leaf and just dumped them in....it was a mess and clogged up my siphon. This time I'm using pellets and will be putting them in a weighted nylon bag. I plan on dry hopping in a bucket, not carboy. So my question is, how do you suspend the...

Had been lurking on this site for awhile and finally decided to sign up so I could ask all my noob questions on the beginners forum. I have 4 batches under my belt thus far and much of the success I've had has to do with information I've gotten from this site. Cheers.

So I dry hopped for the first time....my LHBS recommended 2 oz ofwhole leaf (which I've never used before) and when I asked about bagging with a weight he said, "Nah if you're using a bucket just toss them in." So that's what I did. I let it sit for 7 days and opened my bucket and saw...

Have a lot of citra hops lying around and I love a good IPA / DIPA and came across this recipe. I'm still fairly new to brewing so I'm looking for others opinions on whether this is OK or if it needs to be tweaked. Cheers. OG 1.070 FG 1.018 Caramel Malt 20L 1.0 lb White Wheat...

Currently sitting on an APA in which I used Warrior/Citra and Amarillo but have been hearing a lot about Mosaic & Galaxy hops and I was thinking about making something with these two. Do these hops play well together or are they too unique on their own that it would be a waste to pair them up...

So I made a pale ale about a week and a half ago, OG was 1.060 and after 11 days it's still bubbling every 25 seconds or so. How much longer should I wait before I take a gravity reading? Bubbles once a minute etc? Also this will be the first time I'll be dry hopping. It's currently sitting...
