152. It finished out fine.. it may be carbonation. It's my first kegged beer, and I'm still tweaking my system.. might just be undercarbed.
Since this is going to be my second brew, any ideas where to add the extra hops during the boil time?
I am going to brew this tomorrow but I was gonna make it a little more hoppy than the original recipe. I have an extra 2 oz of Amarillo. Since this is going to be my second brew, any ideas where to add the extra hops during the boil time?
I've chosen this recipe as my second batch after my first results were pretty successful (porter).
Bubbling quite frequently at first (more than 1/second) but now at day 4 I have zero bubbles in the airlock. Is my fermentation stuck or just working extremely slowly? I've got it around 63-64 in a water bath.
In the future I will probably add more bittering, for sure keep the dry hops and start blending in some Centennial and Cascades.
I want to try this recepe this weekend. If I do it with a partial boil 3 Gallons does it change the amount of hops I use? The batch size will be 5G. Do I keep the same hop schedule and amount as the original recipe?
thanks

I'm a little confused by this recipe when it comes to the amount of water to be used.
It says steep the Crystal 40 in 1.5 gallons of water. At what point does this become a 5 gallon batch?
Can I steep at 2 gallons, then add 3 gallons of water as I bring it to a boil?
The original recipe calls for steeping in 1.5 gallons, but I have seen people saying they're steeping in 3 gallons. What are the pros/cons to steeping with more water?
How long in primary?
Did anyone try something similar with a dry hop addition? What aromatic notes did this offer?
3 weeks in primary huh?!
I'm only a relative novice at homebrewing, but seem to remember reading that primary shouldn't go over 14 days? Particularly to get the beer off the flocculated yeast (trub) at the bottom, so it doesn't impart too much flavor on the beer....?
Any thoughts on that?
I'm at 8 days and the Gravity is bottoming out. Shall I leave it to flocculate further and clarify?

If I were to dry hop, I have 1 oz left of amarillo pellets .. do I put it all in or what quantity should I use?
Straight in the primary or into secondary?
Thanks a lot
