  I'm not questioning your methods, I just want to understand: why the additions at 1 minute and
  then dry hopping also. What's the benefit in doing this as opposed to only dry hopping these
  amounts?

  How is beer leaking back up through the gas line? Did you over fill the keg?I guess there's no
  way for it to go up that way so it must be through the out line. I removed both posts and
  changed all the...

  Have you taken apart the posts and poppets and cleaned them?Not since I kegged the beer but
  maybe I'll try that first and change the orings too. I've ordered a new poppet jic.

  Disaster! I went to my fridge yesterday and there was beer all over my floor. I have a single
  tap system that I've been switching between my two kegs. When I remove the gas line from one
  keg, beer is ...

• Posted in thread: High Alpha Hops for flavour or aroma on 04-07-2013 at 12:23 AM
  Almost all of the really popular flavor and aroma hops are high alpha. Citra, Simcoe,

  Are high alpha hops good for aroma and/or flavour? I have lots of Northern Brewer but little of
  anything else. Wondering if they'll do or if I should buy others. I have an ipa and an amber in
  the carb...

  It seems that dry hopping inthe keg with a tea ball might be easiest. No gunk in the fermenter,
  no grassy hops taste. I just wonder what the difference will be versus adding them to hot wort.
  If the d...

• Posted in thread: 0 min hop addition on 03-27-2013 at 11:50 AM
  When my recipe calls for a hop addition at flame out, how long do I leave the hop bag in for
  before I cool my wort down? Or, is does this addition require that I just leave my hops in for
  the fermenta...

  I brewed an Irish stout today but my gravity was quite a bit higher than expected. I hit 1062
  when my recipe called for 1050. I used a new carboy that I'm unsure of the volume, but I
  measured 19L befo...
