I recently was given a batch of home grown Mt. Hood Hops. It's in leaf form and I'm guessing I only have around 1oz? My question is I'm getting ready to brew a 5-gallon batch of IPA. My current recipe calls for Amarillo and Citra. I'm thinking about tossing in the Mt. Hood hops just for fun...

Hey everyone I need some input. I recently came into a batch of fresh Virginia Mountain Mint and I'm curious if anyone has any ideas on what type of home brew I might add some to? When should I add it? How much? How or should I dry it out before using? Any ideas or input would be appreciated...

Run your recipe through MrMalty.com to verify how much yeast you need to pitch. Chances are the answer is going to be yes. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Unfortunately I only have equipment for extract. I do always steep though. Sounds like I might just have to find a different recipe. Thanks for all the input though. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Unfortunately I'm not an AG guy yet. Any chance someone could convert this recipe to extract for me. It sounds awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Keep us posted on how it turns out. To truly test the adjustments you made, when this one is done you will have to brew another batch of the same beer. Maybe even keep a bottle around of the first batch so you can compare it later. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Brewed 2 weekends a row for the first time. Last weekend was an original recipe Amarillo/Citra IPA. This weekend an original recipe Glacier/Centennial APA. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks fuzz. Very helpful!

Sorry I didn't mean the exact science, I know that gets complicated. Just general reasoning is okay. Thanks.

Dude obviously it's none of my business at all but judging by previous posts your OG is already north of 1.09 for this beer so do you really want to go higher? Judging by your hop schedule, and I think you mentioned in another of your posts you are going to boil 6.5 gallons, I'm guessing your...

I keep my ferm bucket in a water bath throughout fermentation and it effectively keeps the temp at a constant 65 degrees all the way through. What's also nice about this is if I'm doing a bigger beer like a stout or porter and the temp creeps up a little, I can drop in a frozen water bottle and...

Truth be told the smell is very subtle and most people don't even notice. However once I moved the Citra to flame out, leaving everything else exactly the same, the smell went away completely. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This might sound weird but even if it does taste like it a little it probably won't be bad enough to dump. Except for one of the batches, the smell was very subtle. Overall it was still a decent tasting IPA. However like I said when I moved the Citra to flame out, everything else being exactly...

No light for sure and I doubt oxidized because I haven't had any problems. Another post recently suggested it tends to happen when using Safale-05. In fact all 3 times it's happened to me I have used that yeast. However when I moved it to flame out it didn't happen again. Sent from my iPhone...

Yep it was an IPA with Safale-05. Actually it's happened with 3 batches. But as soon as I moved the Citra to flame out and dry hop only, no cat pee. Been that way twice now. So you think it might be the yeast? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
