I posted about this recipe in the Recipe/Ingredients thread...I brewed on Wednesday so I'm looking forward to the results. The pre fermentation sample tasted nice! Recipe: Belma Citrus IPA Brewer: Asst Brewer: Style: American IPA TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications...

I brewed this today. I just got my new monster mm2-2.0 and was having a problem holding the gap setting, so my efficiency was a tiny bit low. I hit 1.060 og and it's sitting in the fermentation chamber at 64 now. I will update when it is ready!

Thanks for the suggestions. Based on input I have updated to the following: I hope to give this a shot early next week after my new Monster MM2-2.0 arrives! :) Recipe: Belma Citrus IPA Brewer: Asst Brewer: Style: American IPA TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications...

So maybe if I drop the honey malt to 6 ounces and the Crystal 60 to 4 oz that would be better? Or would I be better served dropping the Cara-Pils a bit and leaving the other 2? I do like a little sweetness, but I don't want it to be cloying.

Hoping to get some suggestions on below...might have more traffic in here :) I am attempting to try my hand at creating an IPA recipe to utilize some of my Belma hops that I picked up this year in addition to some of my Centennial I have in stock. I really enjoy balanced IPAs that lean...

Any thoughts or opinions on this recipe?

+10 = 3709 can't wait to try it out!

I am attempting to try my hand at creating an IPA recipe to utilize some of my Belma hops that I picked up this year in addition to some of my Centennial I have in stock. I really enjoy balanced IPAs that lean towards the Citrus flavor profile. I also like there to be a balanced malt backbone...

Does anyone know when the next Austin area group buy is?

Just got finished brewing my first batch of Centennial Blonde! I did a 10 gallon BIAB batch following the exact recipe. I ended up with slightly higher than planned efficiency so ended up at 1.043 OG. Cooled to 68 and went ahead and pitched 1 package of rehydrated Nottingham into each carboy...

I just took another reading after nearly 7 days at 63 degrees and my gravity has dropped to 1.019. Do you think I should give it more time at this higher temperature or do you think it is probably as low as it will go?

I pitched a decanted 1 gallon starter split into to carboys so hopefully I had enough yeast. Do you think gently stirring after I get it back up into the low 60s will kick start the yeast again, even after I had cold crashed them for the last 4-5 days?

I will calibrate it again. I also use a hydrometer and have found the beersmith correction tool to do a good job with matching what I see on my hydrometer on previous FG readings. I will plan on letting it warm to mid 60s and swirl it and give it another week and do checks at that time. The...

My OG was 1.057. Everything I've read says that you want to do diacetyl rest when you are about 70-75% finished with fermentation, as primary fermentation is finishing up. When I took my reading after day 7, I was down in that range so that is when I started the diacetyl rest. I have read...

Here I am 15 days after brewing this up. After 7 days at 51 degrees, my air lock activity had nearly stopped and checking my gravity showed me a reading of 1.028 so I raised the temperature to 62 for a diacetyl rest for 4 days and then I began lowering the temperature over the past 4 days to...

I brewed my first lager 15 days ago. It was an Augustiner Lagerbeir Hell found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f57/2011-1st-place-hbt-light-lager-augustiner-lagerbier-hell-238906/ Everything went smoothly. After 7 days at 51 degrees, my air lock activity had nearly stopped and checking...

Brew day went fairly smooth, although I accidentally added my 60 minute hops at the 90 minute mark. I decided to continue with 90 minute boil. My Og clocked in at 1.057 so maybe the extra ibus won't be too noticeable. Cooled wort to 51 and split a 4L starter between my carboys. Hoping...

This is my first 10 gallon batch BIAB and also my first lager...heating up the water now!

Thanks for the replies! So if I use 5 gallons of RO water and 2.5 gallons of tap water, that will still not dillute enough to be optimal on the alkalinity and calcium levels? I am leaning towards using 100% RO and then doing the baseline recommendations following the water chemistry primer. I...
