Will be dry hopping my ruination clone tomorrow. Now Im drinking Mission Brewery Imperial porter

When I first started brewing I would keep the copper H2O lines from old dishwashers that I installed until I accumulated enough to make a wort chiller. Then I finally went out and spent the money to make a legit one lol

5gallons-Hoppy Pale Ale 5gallons-IIPA 10gallons-Pale Ale (2 5gal batches with different yeasts) ------------------- 23,525.5 + 20.0 = 23,545.5

Yeah its kind of hit and miss with that place, I have been there and have had a great experience; but the bad ones out-weigh the good ones.

Greetings from Imperial Beach....Went to HomeBrewMart a couple times, alot of their employees are arrogant and annoying. I now strictly purchase online.

After my first batch, spending an hour and a half was waaay to time consuming. So I made myself one out of 25' of copper and various fittings, works like a charm and now I cool wort in 30mins

thats just about the same steps i followed except for the hop schedule, and boil time!

LOL my bad, cheers sista;):mug::tank: and brewguyver ill have to check it out, that beer has mega-character i think its like 232IBU's

awesome thank you very much for your help Cheers brotha :mug:

Ok thanks very much Ill def keep that in mind next time I do a IIPA, not to drag out this thread but would 4oz be overkill in a DH?

Yes thats correct only 2oz of cascade for late additions, would I be able to compensate for hop flavor/aroma with a nice dry hop? I am a big fan of citrus hop notes I want to DH with citra but I think my LHBS is sold out, I think I'll settle with cascade or centennial but IDK yet Thanks...

Oh ok that makes sense, this is my 8th batch and first attempt @ a DIPA :mug:cheers

So a week into primary I found myself wondering what the gravity of my double IPA. I know I shouldnt have but sometimes I think I have ADD when it comes to brewing :D......Anyway so I checked it and it has gone down from 1.090 to 1.014 Im going to leave it in for another 2 weeks but when I...

Looks normal to me. My first batch ever I had a mixture of krausen and hops for like a week and a half, kinda scared me but its perfectly normal! Cheers brotha:mug:
