I never use a bag or filter with pellet hops, throw them in, cold crash even for just a day drops most of them out. Just be careful racking or put a bag on your autosiphon.

Sorry if this has been answered but is everyone using half 2 row/ half marris otter to save money or does it actually make a difference vs all Marris otter?

I would say it depends on the brewery, too small and its probably an hassle for the brewers and too large its prob not realistic. I work at a brewery with a 30bbl system and no one has asked me personally but i would help a guy out if they did. I work right next to the taproom so it would be...

Well i can offer up some anecdotal evidence. I just brewed a IPA, here is the recipe. My Batch was for 6.5 gallons to account for hop absorption OG 1.065 74 IBU WLP 001 149 Mash Temp FG 1.009 2 Row - 56.3% White Wheat Malt - 31.3% Red X Malt - 12.5% 1.10 oz Magnum - 60min 2 oz Citra - 15...

Yea, used to go there...recently moved to San Diego so had to sell the bike.

How did the beer turn out? Have you brewed it with other water profiles? Also what were your exact mash numbers if you dont mind sharing. Did you go all the way to 750 sulfate? Sorry for all the questions. I made a beer with 300 sulfate a while back and it was quite astringent...could have...

This story is really hard to read when ive been trying really hard to get into pro brewing, even just packaging or w/e....then these guys are brewing professionally and have never made a starter. FML

count me in as well

Well i just moved into a apartment from a house. Now I really loathe brewing because i had my system down so well and everything in its place. It will take some to adjust.

I got a really great deal on a keg of mead from a local meadery. I have a corny system so I bought a Sanke tapper and corny adapter pieces. That all went together fine. This is a plastic keg and the coupler is plastic is as well. When screw in the tap and lock it down the tap slowly unscrews...

I have brewed this recipe like 4 times. I usually change the hops/water profile/yeast each time to see what difference it makes. They have ended up all real similar, but havent had them side by side. Do oats produce a unique flavor? I guess im not sure how to describe it, but i think it must...

Hop union can be 2 or 3 dollars an oz at the shop or more if its a hard to get hop. I guess I have not looked at the 1# bags. I just tried yakima valley, I have used farmhouse in the past and made lots of good beer but not amazing. I am always looking to get that amazing hop character you get...

I have heard that hops for homebrewers are quite a different quality than what breweries have access to. Where do you get your hops? Hop Union is usually to expensive for me so I buy bulk. I have tried a few places and I just dont think I can get the character I want. I get a decent...

I will mention Societe Brewing since no one else has yet.

I am moving to San Diego in 2 weeks, so if I wait until the last minute to buy will this thing sell out?

Just add enough extract to where it adds up to 90 IBU. So by my rough math without knowing your alpha acids is 3 to 4 ml of hop extract at 60 unless you really need to do a 90 min boil, or just add less at ninety but I am not sure of the measurement on that sorry. I would lean to less hop...

Well i know i may be impatient at the moment but I brewed a standard sour 60/40 two row/wheat February 1st. I then pitched a vial of bug country and fermented at 70ish for a week or so. Then I just let it sit in my basement until now(basement is 55 to 60). I am moving so i transferred the...

I brewed a 60/40 two row/wheat bug country February 1st. Its rather clear already and i think it has been for a while. My basement has been chilly though. I am moving out of state so I had to keg it for the move. It is surprisingly sour for being so young.

The latest batch was a lot different from the previous one....It was not that great. I know its not easy to be consistent but wow does it change a lot from batch to batch lately. This one reminded me of fantasy factory from Karben4 if anyone has had that. There is a lot a hype locally for that...

I thought i would let everyone know that PseudoSue is much better this last batch...Its really worth picking up again. Not sure if they finally started using 2014 crop or what but its great once again.
