Krispy is a strain of kveik from escarpment labs, lots of peole use it for lagers because of its clean crisp results at warmer temps

I have a couple oz. Hallertauer and I'll be using Krispy for my yeast

Im just looking for input on the following grain bill I'm planning for my next brew. 8lbs 2 row 2lbs Vienna 1/2lb carapils 60 minute mash at 153. I also have 1lb of melanoidin but im not sure it its necessary...hoping for a somewhat malty europeanish lager...thoughts?

Hey everyone, im just curious if anyone runs their draught tower drip tray drain line down into a container inside the kegerator?

Well i increased my strike water since my last brew and saw a 15% increase in efficiency (i was usually slumming around 65%) but i may not have had a strong enough boil to get down to volume to get my target og. I'll try this recipe again when i need to get another IPA in my keg rotation

So i tried my hand at an ipa today and undershot my fg by 10 points, my guess is i didnt boil off enough. I added dextrose to my fermenter to make up those 10 points, will that cause an issue? Should i have waited for initial fermentation to slow down? I think i need to RDWHAHB haha

Hey everyone, im looking at building a manifold for the bottom of a coleman cooler uskng some pex i have left over, would it be fine to just loose fit everything together rather than crimping each connection?

So i brewed up a new batch yesterday, i usually just hang the bag and squeeze a but after mashing but this time i decided to try a pour over sparge in a separate bucket. After boil i checked my gravity reading and thought it was a bit low for my grain bill, so i went to the bucket that still had...

First batch into the keg setup, feels good to be free from the hassle of bottling!

So i went into my LHBS with a recipe in hand, but they didnt have a particular malt i needed for my recipe so i improvised on the fly and went with something else. I grabbed 9 lbs pale, 2 lbs maris otter and 3/4 lb crystal 75. As for hops i grabbed 2 oz each of cascade, willamette, and...

I ended up using jag75s advice. We'll see how she turns out in a few weeks!

Amarillo is 9.4% AA anf 5.7% beta, unsurr of the chinook

Hey all, im going to be brewing a 5 gallon batch tomorrow, 10lbs pale, .75lb crystal30, i also have 3/4lb or caramunich i may or may no use. I have 3 oz chinook and 2 oz amarillo on hand. Doing a 1 hour mash BIAB and a 1 hour boil. Any suggestions on hop additions for a mid range ibu brew would...

Well I guess I should have measured my water rather than trusting the markings in my kettle. Oh well haha it looks like beer, and tastes like beer. Next round I will learn from my mistakes haha

Ya I will calculate as per volume collected, is there anything to do to bring the abv. Down or just roll with it?

So I just racked my first all grain brew to my bottling bucket and I found that my final volume was about 1.5 gallons less than expected. This might cause the abv. So be way higher than anticipated. Any priming issues I should be concerned with or just bottle as usual. 12 lbs of grain ended up...

Oh and I'm Doing Biab no sparge

Well I may have mixed up what I needed and added carapils to my list, I can leave it out and save it for my next batch. As far as style, I'm trying for an amber ale like one a brewery near me makes

Yes my LHBS milled it up for me. Doing half Oz. Cluster hops for 60 min. 1oz golding at 10 min.

So I just picked up some ingredients for my first brew. 10lbs pale 2 row, 2lbs carapils, 3/4lbs crystal 60, and some cluster Hops as well as east Kent goldings. Just kinda modified a recipe I found based on what was available. Would this work out well? Anything to take out of there?
