Imperial IPA - All-Grain Recipe Kit

Not sure I can help much with the current brew, but for future beers: I use norther brewers priming sugar calculator. http://www.northernbrewer.com/priming-sugar-calculator/ It says you should have used 3.7oz of priming sugar. I will confess though that I usually put a little more the...

indymedic, check out the 3 gal BIAB kits from Northern Brewer: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/recipe-kits/all-grain-biab-kits I have a 7.5 Gal kettle, so this is what I've started with until I can get a larger 15 Gal kettle. I've done 2 of their Irish Red 3 gal BIAB kits so far...

Thanks jamesbsmith, that's a handy little spreadsheet. I do have an empty 1 gal I can use so I'll give that a shot and see how they turn out with different acidity levels (and I'll know what not to do next time).

well, I'm a little impatient and I had already mixed up the juice and pitched the yeast before I saw your reply...so hopefully .79% isn't too high when it's all done. How are you estimating that acidity (trying to learn). I might split the batch and just sweeten half of it. I'll drink it...

How "late" do you add the tins of fruit? I'm thinking a week, let primary fermentation slow down then add fruit? I started with 4.5gal of Apple Juice + 1gal of White Grape and Mangrove Jack's M02. I'm going to add 4 x 15oz cans of peaches (no sugar added) and 2 x 15oz cans of apricots (no...

The water softener I'm looking at claims to remove up to 12ppm iron from water (Whirlpool WHES44 if anyone has experience with that model). I don't necessarily want to lose the calcium and magnesium, but I don't want my hot water tank, showers, washer, etc to scale up from the hard water either...

Thanks UncleLeon, I've been doing some reading and thought I might have to add Gypsum, Baking Soda, and/or Table Salt to my water depending on they type of beer I'm making. I think I'm going to start with a basic Irish Red ale with no changes/additions to the water and see what I get. I'll...

I just got my water report for my new house. :mug: It’s well water, I was on city water before and never paid much attention to the water quality as it was decent water and I was brewing all extract kits. I haven’t brewed in almost a year while we were building the house and this time I want to...

lol, it's got alcohol in it, it'll be fine. I also assume you weren't sweating profusely when you did this, either way you now have an nice hoppy Armpit IPA to serve your guests.

I think your group may need some membership rules related to criminal/drinking offenses. First time may be just a bad mistake, second time shows a serious lack of control and understanding of the situation. With the fighting on top of that he's going to give your group (and all of us) a bad name...

signed up with the same username as HBT. I'm with a bunch of you, I hope I remember enough chemistry to get through this.

http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/cellar-craft-showcase-italian-barbera.html Italian Barbera kit from Cellar Craft. It's easy to make, taste great young, and is only getting better with age. Start it now and once it's bottled hide a case of it or you'll end up drinking it all before the wedding.
