Getting hop oils in before you rack to primary or during dry hop. Basically the same thing if your below isomerisation (sp) temp. Maybe up the amount on the -140f whirlpool...
The cara pils is there for body. It's barely a crystal malt at all.
I'm pretty sure putting in those high alpha hops at near boiling for 30mins is gonna bring the IBUs up to the 60+ I'm looking for. The warrior gives it 30 alone.
As I said Tropicalia is a 65 IBU beer and creature comforts do...
I emailed Blake at CC today and he confirmed that both crystal and wheat are in the beer at small amounts.
Beer smith gives those IBU values for the hops at the end based on a 30min steep time. The water will be 175-200 degrees for at least 30mins so that should impart the flavor and aroma...
Thanks for breaking down those ratios from the podcast :)
Do you think adding some cara-pils would help with the mouth feel a little bit?
Heres what i built in brewsmith2 for my 3.80 gallon brew (i cant boil more than 5 gallons)...

Last night I finished off the last of my IPA batch and switched to my session pale. Bottling another IPA today so I won't crack a bottle till tomorrow at least. Haven't bought beer inan few weeks and I've been taking a few days in between. Me and the wife went to the local growler bar a few days...
I'm wondering my true wort temp with a submerged carboy.
I do 2.5-3.5 gallon batches and I've chilled each one this way with swapping ice bottles out during the first few days of active fermentation then stop swapping and finally pull it from the water after a week or so raise temps to 70amb...
