    All - I was thinking of attempting a wet hop ipa using fresh picked cascade only with pellet for buttering and dry for dry hopping. Has anyone used fresh cascade only? Is ratio 7 to 1 wet to dry?

    Cooling prior to pitching yeast

    SO my hose is frozen and I programmed my fridge to get my westy 6 clone (thanks csi) down to 65. Put in the snow and ice bath which dropped to 110 then needed to get the kids from inlays. Well four hours later when I returned temp was 100. Am I screwed?

    Timing of Belgian Candi Sugar addition in boil

    I purchased a kit at northern brewer for a holiday saison. Addition of d90 at beginning of boil. I've read that adding d90 near end of the boil can change flavor profile. Any thoughts or experiences with this?

    Thinking of brewing a fruit flavored beer...

    I don't have enough brewing experience to formulate my own so figured I would brew a regular summer blonde and add fruit puree - say 3lbs in secondary....thoughts? Should I use more or less or include in primary instead so not as strong flavor/ aroma? Thanks in advance

    First all grain - non boil

    Just cracked my first all grain. A bit early, just wanted to taste as I'm anxious. Tastes good but extra cloudy - the wort got up to 205 or so but no boil. How does that impact the beer - taste, look, etc Thx

    2nd all grain in the fermenter

    Just finished my second all grain. First was a disaster but much smoother this time and was only .002 away from estimated OG. Hopefully turns out great - it's a clone for Alesmith IPA.
