Thank you. I made an IIPA that for the life of me I couldn't figure out why it was so sweet, makes sense to me now.

When scaling a recipe for lower mash efficiency than called for in a recipe do I just increase base malts and leave the specialty malts the same or do I increase specialty malts as well? It seems to me that if I increase the specialty malts to keep the percentage of specialty malts that the...

Pretty close to what I am after. Would like more grapefruit than orange.

How does this sound for an IIPA hop combo? Apollo - Bittering Ahtanum and Amarillo - Flavor/Aroma/Dry Hop

I prefer hoppy beers but in this one I would rather the character of the wheat, yeast and spices be predominant.

Looking for help, suggestions, guidance for an Imperial Wheat Recipe 13 gallon batch all grain efficiency 62% 17.5# Belgian Pale Ale 17.5# Weyerman Pale Wheat 2# corn sugar 2# flaked wheat 2# flaked barley 2# carapils 2oz Horizon Pellets FHW 3oz Strisselspalt Pellets 10mins 3oz...

Hopefully this will be ready by Father's Day. I'm also on a pizza making forum and I'd like to serve this beer with my home made New Haven Style Pizza.

I also made this into a split batch using Wyeast Belgian Abbey and Wyeast Belgian Ardennes in case anyone is interested in the difference between the two yeasts.

I know many don't like Belgian IPA but HOUBLON CHOUFFE Dobbelen IPA Tripel and Piraat Ale are some of my favorites, as well as Golden Monkey and La Fin Du Monde. If my Golden Monkey went awry and I can turn into a Tripel IPA then none the loss.

The sample pulled from the primary of my Belgian Tripel that I based on a Golden Monkey Clone is a little more bitter than anticipated. I added 3oz Horizon Pellets at 60 mins in 11 gallon batch, 1.080 OG 1.010 FG. I'm thinking of now making this a Tripel IPA by dry hopping. I used 3oz French...

I think if one were to look at it as a "Fantasy Beer Camp" the 2g's seems reasonable.

Is there any merit to the second more floc. yeast strain idea?

Hemicuda - Thank you for the input. I haven't crash cooled before bottling in the past, normally I will refridgerate for 2-3 weeks before consumption. Last night I pulled a bottle out of the back of the 'fridge that had been there for over 2 months, still as murky as ever.

I've always used Pacmac for my IIPA (10+ batches) and get very clear beer every time; I always bottle condition. I haven't been able to find Pacmac so I've now switched to 1056. The first and only other time I used 1056 the beer was very murky; the yeast is the only valiable in this equation...

Yes, pre-boil.
