Im not too wirried where it ends up ipa apa red amber. But i want the hop profile to be nice. I have a good ipa on tap right now. I really should have worded my post better to be honest. Am i using these hops well in this grain bill. Or is there a better way to get good aroma and mild hoppiness...

Can any of you ipa lovers out there help me. I have 2 oz of citra and 2oz of chinook for a brew. Im using all the grains/hops i have leftover from other brews so I can re-up my stock on the staples. Is there a better way to profile these two hops with this grain bill? Thanks for any replies...

My ge 5.0 doubles as a keezer and a fermenter when I finish my supply. I have two fermenting right now and a third brew scheduled for later this week. One of the brews in the fermenter is dry hopping and ready to be kegged. When I transfer it over to the keg should i begin carbonating? or just...

Well room temp this week has been 78. Got into the ferm chamber and its holding about 68. Well see how it goes. I have always just let the beer go room temp without issue so hopefully this can only make it better.

Thanks for the reply.

If I connect my beer line and draw a sample which comes out under carbed do I need to disconnect the line and drain? Or can I leave it attached and it will still carb? Also I have a hair over ten feet of beer line standard diameter; is it a waste to sample tough this or do people make smaller...

There are a reason the 5 and 10 gallon water coolers are so popular. I live in San Diego and this may be a little atypical; but i left the lid off during my mash to do an experiment on heat loss and it was marginally more than leaving the lid on. I would lean towards a 10 gallon cooler for most...

Yeah im thinking thats my next move. Hopefully it stills has some good flavor. Is there a steadfast rule for dme to water ive seen many different ratios.

Hi my names Patrick and started brewing a few months ago and this is my 5th batch. I went to my local brew supply and was helped by a familiar face. He helped with an awesome porter I made recently. We were chatting simple recipes as I transition to steeping grains. I think he forgot how much I...
