Thinking about doing a coconut porter and looking to use Sabro in the dry hop along with dried coconuts. Am I crazy? I have a half a pound of it left and would like to experiment with it a bit.

I bought a pound recently and am wondering what people think of this variety. What flavors do you perceive? Is it potent? I am planning on making an IPA with it.

Any suggestions? I have a Spike cf5 with a 2-inch butterfly valve and a 90 attached to the bottom. When I open the valve into a 5 gallon bucket, shiatzu sprays everywhere. I have thought about putting on a reducer, say a 2 to 1/2”. Eventually I will get the yeast brink from NorCal, but am...

I am very interested in this and wanted to set up a thread on this product.

I finally bought my shanks and faucets to complete my keezer build. For now I plan on using three taps with plans on adding a fourth in the future. My faucets are Intertap FCs. My question is what is the spacing do y’all use from center to center? I have it pencilled in at 4” but have read...

Is anyone growing this variety? It’s said to be “Citra’s little sister”. I am setting up a new trellis and am thinking about planting these.

On the weekends I enjoy brewing a pot of coffee with my French press. I buy a lb of beans from the store and grind it there. That lb will last me a month if not more. Towards the end of the lb the flavor drops off as expected. I think that if I buy the beans whole and grind when needed, my...

So I am going to restock my hop inventory for the year and am looking to buy a pound of some hop variety. As of now I have a new pound of Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra. In storage around 4 oz: Simcoe, Amarillo, Nelson as well as 8 oz of Columbus. I brew mostly IPAs, NEIPAs and hoppy cream ales. I...

So it is time for me to stock my inventory and am looking for 2017 Citra hops. I have looked around on the interwebs and can’t find any. Is there a reason? Am I too late? All other varieties are available.

So I decided to brew a GMC NEIPA. Everything went great, I hit all of my numbers and it was going to be a 4 hr brew session from start to finish thanks to my new submersible pump for my IC. Started moving from my BK to Fermenter and then $&@@&!!!!!!@&!’. The BK was on my bench in my garage and...

Normally I overbuild starters to harvest yeast. But when I wanted to brew, I didn’t follow the 7 “P’s” and therefore I didn’t have enough DME to make a starter. Fast forward two weeks, I had about 12 oz of beer after kegging. I swirled the trub and all, and poured it in to 2 - quart size mason...

I was wondering if it would be possible to purge a star San filled keg with gas created during fermentation? My plan would be to hook my blow off line to the gas in post on a filled keg. Then hook up another line from the out post to an empty bucket/ keg. Anyone try this? Could this be done?

I received a grain mill and a 50# sack of two row for Christmas. I am wondering what other grains I should buy? I am not sure if I really need another 50# sack of another grain, maybe 5# or 10# of a different varieties. I brew IPAs, NEIPAs, and Cream Ales. I will be getting 10# of flaked...

So there is a big party the 26th of August, and was going to brew a NEIPA on the 6th. Quick turnaround, but with the right yeast and technique I could have done it. My plan was to get grain today and brew tomorrow. I went to a new to me LHBS and was impressed, there prices were a bit higher...

Hi all, as the title states, I am jumping into kegging. So far I have bought the following: -2 new slim line torpedo kegs -2 o ring kits -20 lb CO2 tank -1 regulator -4 way gas manifold -2 picnic taps -2 gas assemblies - deciding between a 7.2cf or 8.8cf chest freezer -keg lube...

I am really proud of the progress I have made with my hops so far this year. I have finally made it to the top with 3 if the six plants that I have (first time in 5 years). But, I am currently in some what if a crisis. *i have not done a soil test* I noticed that one of my Newports...

I am planning to grab enough crushed grain from my LHBS for 3 batches. With how much I brew, I would be storing the final recipe for two months. I will vacuum seal once I get the ingredients home, and maybe store them in the chest freezer. So can I store crushed grains that long? Will they...

Not the liquid that goes in your diesel truck. The 46-0-0 fertilizer. My plan is to apply it early with some nice compost then use 15-15-15 before burr formation.

I brewed a NEIPA a few weeks ago, bottled 5 gallons. I put a few in the fridge to test and liked the flavor and aroma. Naturally I crushed them and started tapping into the ones at room temp. I poured one/two into a frozen mug and absolutely loved the flavor and aroma. So, I am wondering...

So, my brew day didn't start where I wanted. I was aiming to mash in at 152, my strike water was 161 and it was 35 in my garage, I thought I would be ok. Grain temp was 70, dumped grains in on my full volume of water. Wound up mashing at 157. I was ok with that, time constraints meant I...
