Can I have a 6 pack?

this ^^^ I let my beer hang out in the primary for months and the yeast gets plenty of time to clean up after themselves, the beer has time to mature, I have time to be patient, and with no ill effects of the beer sitting on the yeast. :tank:

I will, second, third, and fourth Epic Brewing. Yum and cheap! whooooo they have a small tasting room and their bombers are delicious and on the low end of pricing spectrum.

if you don't actually know which hops they are, you are not able to do this calculation. I say just use them and RDWHAHB! I'm 100% positive adding more hops will make you happier.

no reason to secondary in this time frame.. make sure you use 2lbs of DME instead of the 2lbs of corn sugar they also suggest. and really, you can never have too many hops.. adding more hop flavor might make your beer stand up better to conditions that are not ideal (like not having enough time)

was debating, either sarcastic or extremely dumb. unfortunately due to the way the internet reads, I just assumed you were that dumb.. :-P :tank:

pfffffff... the vortex of homebrewing! ... a neverending spiral into oblivion through drunkenness and homebrew.

you should quadruple those hops but be careful with the chinook! can get very bitter quick... check out the northern brewer kits, I've found they are generally well-hopped recipes!

I still can't see anywhere that you said HOW MUCH hops you used. without this information it's really hard to say anything. it sounds like you should change the recipe... if you have done it 3 times and you're not getting enough hop flavor, i would say use way more hops! I rarely use less...

patience is rewarded. don't be in a rush and your beer will turn out better! get a couple more beers going!

How many oz's of hops are you adding per addition?

you can leave it for months in the primary. I leave mine in a minimum of 1 month.

holy ****, pina colada beer!

Cheers and welcome to the vortex! HBT has answered almost any question I've ever had about brewing, even if the answers come in 12 or more completely different variations! Enjoy and RDWHAHB!

this article just answered all of my questions. thanks!
