New to the Hattiesburg, MS area and looking to start brewing again. There is a supply store down the road but it doesn't seem to be open (even before COVID) Anyone know a good spot to by ingredients locally or a site to get them shipped in? Thanks

So I brewed a version of the famous Centennial Blonde floating around here and I need some begging help. I used extra light LME instead of DME. I also used 1oz of galaxy and cascade with 5min left in the boil. Needless to say the LME took over and it is way to malty with no hop taste. It has...

5 gal of an amarillo hopped IPA. Good stuff

here it is. Just a nice dual tap kegerator underneath

So I'll move the Simcoe to 60min and split the Amarillo between a whirlpool at 180F and dry hop (2oz each). I'll also add 2 more oz of amarillo late in the boil. Do you have any hope selection in place of amarillo. I've used amarillo and city mostly, but would love to expand. Thanks

So I have a IIPA fermenting in my FC. Its 2 weeks in and I'm gonna dry hop it at 2 1/2 weeks for 5 days then cold crash. I'm also brewing an AIPA this afternoon to keep the pipeline going. Problem is my FC also doubles as my cold crashing vessel. I was hoping my AIPA would be done actively...

That all makes perfect sense. So then add flavor hops at flameout and aroma during dry hop?

I'm preparing myself for a massive explosion in my fermentation chamber :rockin:

well I brewed it. I was in the middle of the brew process when I started this thread so I added .5lb of sugar with 10 minutes left. My OG was 1.096 so we'll see what happens.

when would you add it? 15 min, flameout?

so 1lb of sugar or do you think 0.5 lb would be good

OG 1.076 IBU 77.8 color 13.4 SRM ABV 8.4% 10 lbs Pale Liquid Extract (4.0 SRM) 0.50 oz Warrior [15.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min 0.75 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min 0.75 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min 1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] -...

So i'm about to brew this IPA recipe using 10 lbs Briess Golden light DME. Beer smith has an ABV of 8.4% and I'm using 2 packets of SafeAle 05 because LBHS was out of Notty. Question: Will 2 packets of yeast have the same drying out effect as adding sugar would do? If I add sugar Beersmith says...
