Santa is bringing me 10lbs of hops.
Galaxy
Vic Secret
Mosaic
Citra
Azzaca
and a 4x1lb grab bag from niko brew.
I'm practically out of good ipa hops. This should hold me for a bit.
Ive read that and thought nothing of it.
Then i've made and had beers(IPAs specifically) with a higher amount of crystal and went....
Yep. Too much.
I completely despise a bunch of crystal in IPAs. I still have probably 20lbs of C60 thats going on 3 years old as I used to use it but...
I only tend to drink a couple nights a week but tend to have over 10 kegs of beer at any one time...so it looks like I have the opposite problem you do lol
The Lone Tree IPA is a session IPA that doesn't use the most traditional hops but is awesome fresh. That can isn't the most fresh as I got it shortly after I signed up for this. hopefully you still enjoy it. The upstream dry hopped sour saison is delicious IMO and it dry hopped with El dorado...
Brewing doesnt actually cut into much if any of my beer buying. If something new comes out, I'll buy it. I don't drink a ton of beer in the first place(Coming from somebody with ten taps....that sounds slightly ridiculous I know), but when i do, its probably split 50/50 commercial/Homebrew.
I agree with this guy.
Do not waste Simcoe and Citra as bittering additions. Use magnum, or Horizon for bittering and add the simcoe/citra at 5 or flameout
Just got it. UPS will be picking mine up tomorrow for it to go out to WOBRIEN.
Also, thanks Bane! I hadn't heard of most of those breweries and I love the Can glasses along with the Globe taster. I should be giving the DC Brau beer a try tomorrow night. Is that the third iteration of ADM Im...
Well, considering Ive made 7 or so batches of my coconut black ipa and did it the exact same each time, 1lb of toasted coconut in the mash and .5lb untoasted after primary fermentation has worked just fine for me.
Just saying.
I don't typically have problems but you can always add the coconut to a sanitized mesh bag and add that the the fermenter instead of adding the coconut by itself.
I make a coconut black ipa every year. I toast a pound of shredded organic coconut and put it in the mash. I then take a half pound of shredded organic coconut and add it after primary fermentation is done.
My wife bought them from here a couple christmas' ago
