Found this in another post.... Anyone dry hopping or doing anything else to the wort? Lucid's brewsheet also included their dry-hopping schedule. Converted to a 5 gallon batch is listed below: 0.8 oz Chinook 2012 Pellet [11.10 %] 0.8 oz Citra 2011/2012 [13.50 %] 0.8 oz Falconer's...

When I was filling the buckets on Saturday and one of the Lucid employees said that they will be coming out with a email in the next few days with some dry hopping suggestions. If I get that I will post it here. I decided to go with the WL San Diego Super. It's been going crazy since Sunday...

Not sure what the OG is. I pick it up on Saturday and will be able to test it then. I have a stir plate so I plan on making a starter. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I am the super lucky winner of a 5 gallon bucket of Black Double IPA wort from my local AHA rally this weekend at Lucid Brewery. Anybody have a recommendation of yeast and starter? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have been reading some posts about how your boil size can affect your IBU. I have found that utilization drops considerably when only doing a 2gal boil vs a full boil. Is this true? Is there a way to maximize utilization when only doing partial boils? Is it different if I only have a 2 gal...

I brewed an extract batch of Ferocious form Midwest 7 days ago. The instructions say to ferment in primary for 5-7 days and if using secondary(which I am), add hops to secondary and rack on top. I took a look this morning, planning on racking to secondary and here is what I found. I only have...

It's been 24 hours and fermentation was super active all day yesterday. I'm a bit curious about having an over active fermentation. Here is a picture of what was left in my sanitizer catch that my blow off tube into. Seems that there is a bunch of yeast settled onto the bottom. Is that what I'm...
