I'm curious if any one here has experience with dry hopping a beer 4-6 weeks after fermentation is complete. I usually brew 10 gallons but my upcoming schedule has me not drinking beer for a couple of weeks. My plan was to ferment in 2 5-gallon carboys, dry hop a small amount during fermentation...

I received today my American IPA kit from Palmer Brewing Solutions, and was surprised about the CBW Munich DME bag. It is rock solid, i've never seen something like that and couldn't find anything about it online. I found the spec sheet of the product here...

Disclaimer** This is not a well-balanced nor well-designed recipe, just a fun experiment by a newcomer that happened to turn out rather delicious. This recipe will likely never be duplicated as I don’t plan on buying any kits in the near future. ****** 5 gallon brew size 3 gallon boil...

I wanted to brew this beer for two reason, one to see if I could and two because I had a party coming up and like so many recipes, this was based on necessity! Efficiency: 70% Ingredients: 6 lbs US 2-row malt 2 lbs white wheat malt 2 lbs flaked oats 4 oz Crystal 120L 4 oz lactose 1 oz...

Hey Folks , Giving my home brew a second chance- My first coopers kit I tried and the beer tasted like green apples ( this may be acetaldehyde? ). Despite the the hydrometer reading consistently for 2 days and letting the beer ferment for 14 days at around 18 degrees celcius. Anyways, I...

So, I have had 2 amazing mimosa inspired ipas. The first was by Black Market Brewing out of CA. There description "We just tapped, “Champers ‘85.” This is a Mimosa inspired DIPA (8.5% abv), brewed & dry hopped w/ Idaho 7 & Mandarina Bavaria hops. It was also dry zested with valencia orange zest...

The current trend is very much towards these super juicy hop bombs with tons of citrus and fruit up front. A lot of them are delicious and I enjoy them very much, but they're not balanced and they don't pair well with a lot of food options IMO. Even with dishes that have a lot of bold spicy...

Hello everyone, I didn't see a thread about recipes on the Brewie B20 or the Brewie+ so i have created one. If there is already one let me know and i'll delete this. If not then, let's see what everyone's got! I'm mostly into Amber Ales and IPAs. I will brew this weekend the Mango Habanero...

I recently brewed an Irish Red Ale, OG 1.052 @ 7.5 gallons using Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale). Since I had a nice big yeast cake and was curious how this strain worked with hop flavors, I used 1/4 of the slurry to ferment 5 gallons of extract IPA. I used only Briess Pilsen Light LME + a 1/2 lb of...

I've been working on a single-hop citra IPA recipe, and something really strange happened with my latest iteration. I'm aiming for a lovely pale straw color, and my brewing software said that the SRM for this last batch should be 2. Somehow, it has come out much, much darker; between 8 and 9. My...

Love the combo. It’s kinda like Skynyrd’s “Free Bird”. Awesome but sometimes you’ve had enough of it. I wanted to open up a discussion for people looking to change up their hop combos. I’ll start with one odd one that came out delicious and then provide my combo I’m rocking on my upcoming brew...

I chose the thread title, because that is the taste and aroma that develops after 5-7 minutes from being poured. This has happened in two batches recently, one that was brewed in the summer and one that was just kegged a week ago. Both are IPAs and oxidation was minimized as much as possible...

Hi, I recently bottled my 1 week old secondary ferment Rose Petal IPA (i am a new brewer). During the bottling process I was an idiot and was bottling really slow because the spring wasn't loosened enough to allow good flow. I was siphoning it into the bottle (i didnt have a pail with spigot)...

I recently started my first batch of beer. I am making a Rose Petal IPA. I recently siphoned into secondary 3 days ago. I steeped some rose petals and put them in a mushlin bag and into the carboy to float. I was worried about the carbonation from the rose petals because they were not sunk to...

Hi! I recently started homebrewing and am making a Rose Petal IPA. I just siphoned it into a secondary two days ago. I boiled 1 cup of water and 2oz of rose petals and then put the rosewater in the bottom of my secondary and the steeped roses in a muschlin bag and inside of the carboy. I...

Hello, Working on a Raspberry IPA and using 4#s of pureed raspberries added in Beersmith 2.0 as "Other" in a 6 gal batch. Raspberries are added at 90% of fermentation completion so as to let the yeast eat the available sugars and not make the beer overly sweet. And suggestions on calculating...

I'm looking to make a light, citrusy IPA so I'm keeping the grains simple. People seem to recommend either Carapils or Wheat in small amounts 5-10% to improve head retention etc. What are the properties that each adds to the equation? Is it a one or the other or do you ever use both? Does one go...

This was only my 5th time brewing so the different steps are not yet solidified in my brain. Add to that I was trying to do this while taking care of a 5 month old screaming baby and I messed up the steps. I was making a hoppy IPA partial mash and I'd be reading the forums here and the 150-155...

Hi all, Attempting my second ever brew next weekend, so dont worry about feeling patronising when you answer! I'm going to be doing a malt extract ipa, and want to add some oats to give a creamier mouthfeel. I've had a look online in various places and still not sure exactly how this will work...

I'm making an American style IPA with Cascade hops I grew this summer. I want to play off the citrus notes of the hops so I picked up a 1 oz bag of dried sweet orange peel from my local shop. How much of this do I add to get a nice kick to the citrus without it becoming orange juice? lol. Is 1...
