    Competition question

    So, I made a beer that ended up averaging 38 points in a competition. The style was belgian IPA. I think my beer was closer to the tripel side than the IPA side, but it scored much better than I had anticipated. To get the beer a higher score, I need to make it more like an IPA in character...

    I Read Water and now I don't Know what to Think

    I would like to keep this a fairly simple question, but I am not sure I will succeed. I build my water from RO. I have been doing this for at least 2 years. My water has always been built with the concept of giving the yeast what they need, adjusting for what I want to accentuate in the beer...

    The Tower of Hops is Finished

    I guess I should have done some build photos but I didn't think about it until too late. This is my first attempt to grow hops. Location is Granbury Texas. Growing magnum, cascade, sterling, and crystal.

    Mostly Citra Amber Critique

    Any advice is welcome. I am not dead set on yeast yet, but I went ahead and put s-04 in the recipe. I am also considering ditching the 120L. Water is RO with the noted mineral additions. I adjust mash pH with either baking soda or phosphoric acid. Fermentation will be control via ice packs and...

    Weizenbock Recipe Critique

    I am still very new to making my own recipes, and after making a drinkable, but far to roast astringent brown ale, I am a bit nervous when it comes to using them in my recipes. I am also worried I will make the mistake of throwing in far too many ingredients in the quest for a complimentary...

    60 minute, Whirlpool, and Dry hop only?

    I am planning to brew my first IPA from my own formulation. I am keeping the grain bill simple, and doing only marris otter. For the hops, I was thinking of doing a Magnum 60 minute addition, whirlpooling (170 F) cascade and citra, and dry hopping citra. Does this sound like a good hop schedule...

    I have one question on counter current

    So I am thinking about making a counter current wort chiller, and while I was researching a bit, I saw a video where this guy wrapped copper in an inch a half spaced spiral around the copper tubing before running it through the pvc tubing. I think this seems like a good idea, but it also seems...

    Its hot here

    So, I am wanting to brew a Dubbel, and have it ready before Christmas hopefully. The issue I have is that I live in West Texas, and it is generally above 104 degrees Fahrenheit. I measured ambient temperatures throughout my house, and found the coolest spot to be in a closet. The issue is that...
