Thanks for this When you say flameout do you mean when the 60 min boil has finished So would I bag these hops and put them in with the lid on for that time before cooling the wort Thanks

Okay after looking at a few different recipes and what I can get my hands on how would this work out 12 lb pale lme 1lb crystal malt 80l 2oz centennial 60 mins 2oz nugget 60 mins 1.2 centennial 45 mins 1.2 centennial 30 mins 2oz cascade 15 mins 0.66 oz centennial 0 mins 2oz cascade dry hop...

I'll just have to go with what I've got but thanks How do I know when to add different hops Centennial is bittering right So I add that at 60 mins but how do I decide on different ones

Well it's certainly better than my first batch but it has no real hop profile at all I've downloaded beer smith and am going to have a go of doing an imperial ipa Thanks for everything during the summer Ps Do i need a secondary fermenter or can I leave in primary

Sounds great can you add coffee to this and if so do you know how and when

Well I bottled today and had a gulp of it It tasted like a flat goose island ipa Considering my first batch two months ago tasted like sour vinegar at this point I'm over he moon Thank you so much The final gravity was 1.010 so I've worked out an abv of roughly 4.6% In order to get a higher...

No it's 5 gallon so how much sugar should I use with the water I've got an auto syphoning so ill use that Thanks

Hi I'm back Well I'm going to dry hop this weekend Do I need a certain amount of cascade or just a handful Am I right in believing that you just put the hops in the same type of bag I steeped the grains in and put them in Is there no risk of contamination Final question for now When I...

It's started

You don't need to apologise for anything I can't believe the help you are giving me It's 24 hours since I pitched and there is no signs of fermentation yet I pitched at the correct temp

This is what I followed it says 1.5 then bring to boil and 2kg at end

I can't find that I'm really sorry On the post I read it said 1.5kg at first and then 2kg at the end I've gone back and checked it a few times now

I did top it up but no I don't think I did mix it up before I took the reading I did put the lid on and shake it about before I pitched the yeast though

I only used 3kg of lme Is that bad you told me to use 3.5kg in the recipe but I only had 3kg I topped it up to 5 gallons What will this mean for final beer taste abv etc

Thanks for all your advice this week Well I've done it and took a reading with the hydrometer and it is about 1.036 Does that sound okay What final gravity am I aiming for and is this a 2 week or 3 week in the fermenter job I was aiming to add the cascade to the fermenter in two weeks and...

Wow thanks When you say crush grains should I just do that in pestle and mortar Also after fermentation can I dry hop with some cascade into my bucket and then go straight to bottling in a few weeks Thanks again I can't wait to do it on Friday Kal

That's it though- I don't have a recipe! I've been looking for an American IPA extract recipe with step by step instructions. I loked at the last quote I quoted and thought- I've got all that stuff! I have light liquid malt extract 3kg or so centennial, cascade and nugget hops- a big vacuum...

Hi- sorry to sound stupid but I'm very new to this. I have all those ingrdients and some crystal malt grains. Do I do this- 1: Boil 5 galloms and add 1/3 of roughly 7lbs of the lme when the boil starts and the rest when the heat is cut off. 2: I have nugget, cascade and centenial- I understand...
