Sweet info, I've also had bad results and don't rate hopstands to be honest

Vinny is fanatical about low oxygen absorption hey, I wonder how this translates to home brew? Should I flush with co2 every chance I get? I wonder what he means by this apart from the obvious like not splashing around fermenting beer.

Glad you necro'd it, this looks good. I had my first Stone IPA last week so I'm also keen to try.

$20 for a 6 pack in Australia would be dirt cheap, I forked out $35 this weekend to try a sixer of Stone IPA. They wanted $45 for a growler of ruination. You lucky bastards.

Well used the amylase, no effect

This is really interesting I've ordered some amylase which I'm hoping will arrive soon, I've got a beer stuck at 1020 that should be at 1010. I'll report back when I have tested it out.

I have had this beer once before but I literally fell in love with it last night over a 4 pack. Does anyone know the hop schedule or grain bill for this beer, I have not been able to find anything online after an hour or so of searching. I found some info on his single hop series which is...

Hi I'm at the same stage you are in brewing pretty much so bear that in mind. I've just bought the Coopers IPA kit and some hops and DME to add to it so we are in a similar boat. I'm going to basically do a 20 min steeped hop addition with 50g galaxy in about 3L water which I'm hoping will...

Firstly, what a great forum this is, always lots of friendly advice. Secondly after reading that study I'm going to do a secondary shorter dry hop addition but its been good to read that a few people aren't having that grassy flavor after a long dry hop. I'll try it out and see how it goes...

Thanks for this, I meant fermenting for 3 weeks not dry hopping for 3 weeks. I figured because I dry hopped it after 4 days if I left it for the full 3 weeks it would need to be hopped for 2.5 weeks in total. thanks for the info.

It's only my 4th brew and starting to experiment with hops, been liking some store bought IPA's. I'm using cascade in a Coopers lager, I dry hopped 35g cascade after it had been in the fermenter for 4 days, I also did a 20 min and 5 min boil with about 15 grams each in a wort mixture. I've...

Thanks fellas some good advice, appreciate the answers, I got some more for the priming so I'm good to go.

Roger that, thanks. As long as its not going to make it taste off I don't mind.

Hi, First post, just getting into brewing and using home brew kits. My second brew kit I used dextrose in the fermenter for the sugar, earlier on I was browsing some home brew sites and they said dextrose is for the secondary fermentation in the bottle. Will it be ok for the initial...
