I'm brewing a milkshake IPA, I'm using Citra and Azacca hops. I was supposed to use 2 oz of each at flameout/whirlpool, but mistakenly put 1oz each. I was going to use 1oz of each to dry hop at 4 days and 10 days. Can I just use 1.5 oz of each for each dry hop? I know my IBU's will be lower, but...

As amateur beer tasters, I'm interested to know how you all "taste" your beers. Do you chew it in your mouth? Take deep smells? Hold the beer up to a light? As best as you can, describe how you attack a new beer out of your keg or bottle (homebrew or brewery)?

I realized late last night that I won't ever progress as a brewer until I can tell the difference between various hops - their bitterness, flavor, and aroma. I've been reading up on SMaSH beers and it seems like it could be the perfect vessel for experimenting with different hops. But, I don't...

I have a 1 gallon batch of an attempt at a tangerine wheat ale ready for bottles. How much priming sugar do I need for 1 gallon?

My dad and I are brewing Saturday for their annual Cinco de Mayo party. We're an Irish family, so any excuse to drink is a good one. We are both new to brewing, so probably a recipe with extract and specialty grains. Looking to brew a 5 gallon batch. My dad prefers porters; I'm not picky. But...
