    Astringency & pH

    Hey everyone, Looking for your input. Batch after batch, I am getting a pretty strong astringency and I don't like it. My process is the following. BIAB with NYC tap water, usually around mash ratio of 1.3. No sparge just top off with cold tap water to reach pre boil gravity. Last batch was...

    First time kegging / No cold crashing

    There are probably 150 threads about this but couldn't find an answer. First time kegging this weekend. The IPA is heavily dry hopped, however most of the pellets have sunk to the bottom by now. I usually cold crash before bottling. There's not that much left floating anymore. So if I gently...

    Competition entry: is a NE IPA an American IPA or a Specialty IPA?

    For competition entry purposes: is a NE IPA an American IPA or a Specialty IPA? Kind of a stupid question, but i don't think a NE IPA fits the regular AIPA guidelines. Lower bitterness, hazy juicy appearance, creamier mouthfeel, lower carbonation, sweeter etc I'm entering this beer in a...

    Is bottle conditioning incompatible with NE IPAs?

    Hey guys, So I've been enjoying drinking New England IPAs (Treehouse, Trillium, Alchemist etc) and trying to replicate them. My 3 batches now have been consistantly perfect before bottling. They seriously tasted amazing (in line with the above breweries). I did a batch with Galaxy Mosaic and...

    Yeast starter question and yeast bite

    Hey guys, I'm planning on making a 3 gallon batch of DIPA (OG 1.072) this weekend. I made a starter a few days ago from the yeast harvested from my last batch. It would be the 3rd repitch of Wyeast 1318. My last brew has a pretty big yeast bite, so I might have overpitched. As per the...

    What exactly does refrigerating a homebrew do?

    Hi guys, So here's my 2nd try at a NE IPA with Wyeast 1318 (hopped with Galaxy, Mosaic and Falconers Flight). About 10 days in the bottle i decided to give one a try. Put one in the fridge for a few hours so it would get down to about 45/50F. And it was simply amazing, color, flavor, and...

    I can't get my Citra beers to taste like Craft beers I had with Citra

    Hey, Every time I use Citra, I get this weird taste, hard to describe. Weird after taste that is not very pleasant. It only happens with Citra. I've use multiple packs of Citra that are fresh. I use in reasonable dosages. I've had a ton of Craft Beer with Citra that taste good and don't have...

    Is Amarillo supposed to be so piney?

    Hey guys, another stupid thread.:ban: I just tasted a golden ale I made with Mt Hood and Amarillo. It's just amazingly floral from the Mt Hood (dry hopped) and intensely piney from the Amarillo (more pine needles then pine sap). It is just an amazing beer, i feel like I'm walking in the middle...

    Another uneven priming thread - No dip tube = Uneven priming?

    Hey guys, First let me say I've been doing about 20 batches and never had an issue before. My process has always been the exact same EXCEPT on my latest batch: I switched from using a siphon hooked up to the wand; to just use the bottling bucket with spigot (WITHOUT a dip tube). The process...

    30 Minute White IPA - Wheat & short boil = DMS?

    I'm looking to experiment a little and do a 30 Minute White IPA (30min mash / 30min boil) My only concern is DMS for a 30 minute (vigorous) boil. So i'm substituting pilsner malt for 2 row. But how about wheat? Do I risk getting DMS from a short wheat boil? Sorry if this was answered...

    Where are the fruity esters coming from?

    Where are the fruity esters coming from? I keep getting these fruity esters in my beers (I can't really tell what fruit it is but it doesn't come from the hops). The latest IPA was an all Centennial (8oz about 70 IBUs) that fermented around 60F. 3 Gallon batch Yeast is redryhated...

    Session Double IPA - Heavily hopped with low abv?

    Hi guys, Stupid question, but i'm wondering what a Session Double IPA is? Heavily hopped with low ABV? What do you call a 4-6% IPA that is around 120-130 IBUs? That's how i like my IPAs, double the hops without increasing the grain bill from a standard or session IPA. I feel like the higher...

    California Lager Yeast = Fail

    Hello, After about 10 batches of IPA, DIPA and APA, I decided to give it a go with Wyeast 2112. Almost 2 days in and no activity. I think I screwed 2 things up: -I did 3 gallons divided into 1 gallon carboys. I divided the smack pack into 3 carboys. After using a pitching calculator...

    How would you dry hop this?

    Hey guys, I did a 3 gallon batch IPA and put them into 3 different 1 gallon carboys. I used S-04 yeast in 2 of them and US-05 in 1. How would you dry hop these if you were me? Should i do the 3Cs in all carboys or should i do all columbus in 1 all centennial in the other? What would it...

    Can pressure build inside of a fermentation Igloo cooler?

    Hey, Just a stupid question, i couldn't find the answer. Is an Igloo cooler air tight? Or will the co2 escape with the lid shut? I have 3 gallons currently fermenting in there
