    My NEIPA water profile.

    I'm putting together a NEIPA recipe, and setting up a water profile. My set up is: No Sparge BIAB - 5 gallons. Strike quantity is: 7.85 gallons, based on 1 gallon boil off, and .125 gallons/lb of grain, in addition to the standard 5 gallons (15 gallon kettle). My base water is 100% distilled...

    Another BIAB convert.

    I did my 1st BIAB last night. (full volume, no-sparge). It was much simpler and less exhaustive. I rigged up my pulley/hoist, and made a Reflectix jacket & topper. I got a new SS 15G kettle, and it worked extremely well. It held my mash temp at 155 on the nose for an hour. It was pretty chilly...

    I’m tired of making grassy gross IPA’s.

    Alright, this is problem I’ve been experiencing with most of my IPA’s...for a long time. I get a grassy/veggie bitter flavor, with none of the grapefruit, pine, tropical...(the good stuff) from my hops (irrespective of the recipe)...and it doesn’t get better w/ time. All the typical off flavor...

    Too Grassy

    I would consider myself a novice. I’ve been at it awhile, but this is a beginner question. My newly brewed Centenial IPA is grassy, and not in a good way. Maybe someone can tell me why, as I didn’t really have any issues during my brew (besides an errant bumble bee that flew into my...

    I screwed up

    I had an unplanned opportunity to brew (Dry Irish Stout), but I had to scramble, due to a late start. Mashed with 1 gallon less than I should have (misread my recipe), & came up short on my post boil volume. Filled up the fermenter with water to get correct volume. Gravity is lower than it...

    So I was bored....

    Hey all, I've been brewing on and off for several years. I've been in a busy season of life for the last 2-3 years (give or take), so I've not brewed for awhile. Also haven't been on the forum...I was barely on here before. Anyway, when I stopped, I had a session IPA AG kit that's been stored up...

    Geltin finings question

    I brewed a clone of All Day IPA from AHS. I did AG, and everything went perfect except: I forgot to drop in the Whirifloc tablet during brew (drank too much home brew during brew session). After 2 weeks in the primary, the Krausen dropped, but the beer was pretty murky. I keg my beer...

    Leffe Blonde and Hoegaarden Recipe Request

    I'm looking for the most accurate all grain recipes for Leffe Blonde and Hoegaarden brews. Any direction towards something proven is appreciated. I forgot to mention, that I'm making 5 gallon batches. Thanks, Greg

    Honey Wheat: refrigerated too soon

    This is my first post, so please don't crush me. I'm sure it's been covered plenty of times, but I don't have the time/patience to sort through all of the threads to find my problem. With that being said, here's my problem: My 2nd batch is a Honey Wheat Extract Recipe/Kit. I popped a...
