Ok so I have had some time do some more research and cyphering on this subject. I found this article below which provided some helpful info and links to some tables that prevent me from having to do real math. I am using Beersmith to help me do my figures on this. I'm using the scaling tool...

Looking for two things in this post. #1) Standard recipe critique. #2)I would like to know if I run the following recipe and then run another 8 gallons for a second 5 gallon batch through the grains what kind of OG am I looking at? I figure if I'm going to invest all this money in...

I've made quite a few recipes from that book or used them as starting points. When I put them in beersmith they always come out way too high on the OG. I just use the scaling tool to bring them back. If you do the math to figure out what you over shot you could reduce by that percentage for...

Good to know thank you. I've got plenty of options in the freezer for something else. I forgot I changed that honestly, guess that's what happens when you have a few homebrews and fiddle with a recipe. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've been brewing the same "house IPA" if you will for a few years. I love it and it recently won a bronze medal in a local competition, but its time for new things. The grain bill is very similar to the existing brew but the hop schedule is all new. Below is something I developed based on...

I've used this grain bill several times with one variation. Usually it is 8oz of 80L. I just want to use up the 3oz of 40L I have laying around. I use the bill to showcase various hops that I've never used before. I've never used the mosaic hops before and am primarily looking for comments...

Just bottled my 3rd batch of this. I've made a few changes so far this is my best yet if the samples at bottling are any indication. I switched to Wyeast 1056. And I've added a Madagascar vanilla bean to the secondary with the "spice tea." I soaked the scraped and chopped bean in 2 oz of...

What exactly did you do to set up your trellis' I'm looking to do some potted hops next year and was thinking something similar. Just curious how you set up the based which are now covered in beautiful hops.
