Do you consider Munich and Melanoiden specialty grains? No one said that steeping will make more sugar just that controlling temp can act as a mini mash when steeping.

Grrr brewed this today on my new set up and missed mash temps and was short on og by ten points. Guess I will have to get more practice in on my new rig. Hope it is at least decent despite my **** ups.

So are we thinking;
Brew
About 10 days later dry hop
About 10 days later bottle?
I know it depends on the numbers (steady gravity reading).
Also, can I get away with not using a secondary and just putting the dryhops in the primary?
And.. do you think it would benefit to split the dry hops into a few different grain bags?
do I need to weigh the bags down?
Thanks

And.. do you think it would benefit to split the dry hops into a few different grain bags? You can, it makes them easier to remove
do I need to weigh the bags down? I usually do
Thanks

See above in bold

Just wanted to say I've tested my first bottle of this and WOW it's awesome, best brew I've made so far - tastes very close to the real thing.

If I dont first wort hop, can I do a 60 minute boil of 1 oz of Citra?? Or maybe .5 oz Warrior?? I use the BIAB method, and in BeerSmith, if I use .5 oz of Warrior at 60 minutes, it gives me about 65 IBU using everything else the same in the hop schedule. Sound alright???

**mkringii** · 12-07-2012, 11:23 PM

I do a full oz of warrior for a 75 min boil .. u might get better utilization doin that

Brewed this last night used Millinum at 60min 1oz for bittering. And used fresh Citra hops for the rest can't wait to Finnish this up. Thanks for the recipe, good Brewing
