Oops!! Yes, per 5 gallon. Got that from somewhere else and copied it over wrong. Just double checked. Thanks for saving me there!

Looking for some advice before I brew. This will be my first NE IPA. How does my recipe look (5 gallon)? Too much on the hops? I came up with this recipe after reading a bunch and putting things together from what different people have done. I see a lot of Citra/Mosaic/Galaxy combo which sounds...

You said you used the recipe above did not post what base grains you used and how much? Crystal 60? Is the 2 lbs of White wheat dry?

I'm still kind of a beginner. I saw you did an extract and substituted the white wheat dme and the pilsen light lme.....but what were your grains that you used?

how did this turn out? what was your recipe?

My friend told me that since fall and apple season was coming up that I should brew a beer centered around apple and cinnamon. I was thinking maybe a brown ale? Has anyone ever brewed or seen something like this? Good or not? And do you possibly have a recipe? Sorry a lot of questions all...

Great job!! I'm actually about to begin writing a business plan for a brewpub for a competition.....and if all works out possibly someday for real. This is a great template though to base mine off of. Can easily see why you got an A

Always seems to be a problem when I make my posts haha. So I had a batch of Chinook IPA and racked it into my bottling bucket with the priming sugar like I normally do, when I began bottling though I realized I didn't have enough bottle caps for all the bottles (stupid mistake I know) so I...

I thought it would be fine since the fermentation was done, just wanted to check. It was at like low 60's so I wasn't sure if such a jump would do anything

Hey, so I have a beer in the primary (don't use a secondary) and fermentation has been stopped for probably almost two weeks now. I was letting it go one more week until I bottled when I just discovered that someone played with my thermostat and turned it up to 80!!! The temperature of my beer...

So I brewed a pale ale a little over a month ago and when it was ready we drank some bottles over the first week and it tasted pretty much fine and now it is starting to develop this kind of tart aftertaste. Does anyone know why this is happening all of the sudden and how I can avoid this next...

That's kind of what I figured but decided I should check in just in case. I'm still a noob, this will be my third batch and very excited about this one

I know that. I was thinking maybe if I added only the Cascades at flameout instead of both, I could use that extra .5oz to add more bittering. I'll probably just keep it how it is. Thanks, I didn't know that about the gravity. Beer Alchemy says the OG is supposed to be 1.055. The IBU's...

Only the Casecade are whole leaf and fresh. I dried them about 2 weeks ago and they are currently in my freezer. The Chinook are in pellet form from Northern Brewer

I love hops too! I didn't know what it would be like to dryhop with both of them. It's also only 41 IBU's. I kind of wanted to get it up a little more but didn't know if I should or not
