I guess an extra .7 oz of magnum , .5 oz Cascade, and .5 oz Centenial is a small price to pay for brewing only once instead of twice. Anything else anyone can think of? Thanks

Yeah, when I used my IBU calculator I came up with 1.7 oz Magnum 1.5 Cascade and Centenial (10 min) 1 Cascade and Centenial (0 min) giving me 53 IBU which is twice the 26 of the original recipe.

Another idea I had was to mash the grain, then boil the hops for 30 minutes before adding the extract for another 60 minutes. That would up the bitterness from the hops?

Thanks Beernik. I would boil it in a five gallon pot, then split it into two fermentors, about two gallons into each, and then dilute with pre-boiled water before pitching the yeast. I think it would be roughly the same in each carboy then. Do you think I should go up on the magnum (bittering...

A red ale partial mash recipe I am considering for this would be something like: 14 lbs Pilsner Extract 1.5 lbs Munich Extract .25 lbs chocolate 225L 1 lb Caramel 120 1 lb Victory 2 lbs caramel 40 2 lbs brewers malt Then 1 oz Magnum (60 min) 1 oz Cascade (10 Min) 1 oz Centenial (10 min) 1 oz...

This may have been covered elsewhere, so if you could point me in the right direction that would be great. I used to brew every two weeks, but now can only do it once a month. I want to brew a double strength batch and then dilute it out to make ten gallons when I go into the fermentor. So...

I used a blender last week, and it worked just fine. Only put in maybe two cups max at a time. You want to see all the grain moving, not just at the bottom. It looked very similar to the 4 oz of chocolate malt I had which was milled correctly. As long as you are just using it for steeping, this...

Thanks for all the replies. I guess it is all right that some light comes through. I used the American Ale yeast slap pack, and I always rack to a secondary to free up the bigger fermentor. I will have to try some Guiness I guess. I just always remember it as being opaque though I have not...

My dry stout recipe came out tasting great. But, while it is very dark, you can still see through it when there is a light behind it. What should I do next time to make it completely opaque? Wheat? Mill the flaked barley? Thanks. 5.5 lbs Pale Malt Extract 1 lb roast barley 550 L 1 lb...
