Welcome! NoDa Brewing is one of my favorites when I'm in town! Cheers!

.

Rather new to brewing...For a 5 gallon batch would I just cut the ingredients in half (grains/hops/yeast/moss/coconut etc) and follow protocol for grains/water ratio? I really want to give this a go but only have a 10 gal kettle. Thanks for your help!

Amazing they've only been open a few months and already doubling (If I remember right) their production. Well, with beer like that I can see why. I've been watching NoDa closely on Facebook and they're probably one of the fastest expanding that I've seen in a while. I'm going to have to take a...

I recently made a stop at NoDa Brewing Co. in Charlotte while there for work and had their Ghost Hop - White IPA. I'll tell ya what, it was awesome! Ill be visiting them again next trip thats for sure. Didn't have one beer there with any off flavors! Check out their website, nodabrewing.com.

A little hiatus due to my computer crashing and getting a new one. The recipe went right along with the computer crash. Will have to back it up next time. Beer turned out great, but after the 4th week of being in the bottle, it tastes much different than it initially did. Lost hop aroma and is...

I have not had my hydrometer calibrated. I did take the reading after I topped off so there's a good chance that caused the flub. Guess I wasn't thinking too clearly and was over excited. I will post the recipe once I get back from my beercation of brewpubs in AZ. Thanks again all for the convo.

OG was 1.030. Pretty low. Not sure what happened.

I'm guessing with my initial reading it's going to be more of a Pale Ale than an IPA. I wonder what happened?

My SG was 1.030. Took a reading earlier today and it was 1.00. Smelled great. Gave it a taste and it was on the bitter side and light in color. I'll take another reading tomorrow and see if it changes any. Thanks!

Just made my 1st all grainer IPA. Fermenting for a week, then dry hopping for 2. Dry hopping in the primary. Temp is about 68-72 consistently. Using a Ale Pail for the fermenting. It was bubbling as usual initially. My concern is that there is very little (if any) activity coming from the...

Thanks TropherM. I ended up purchasing a 10.5 SS kettle on eBay brand new for $87. Brew day this Saturday can't come fast enough!

I completely agree. Great prices and if you have a question you get a prompt response. So far all answers have been spot on solutions. Cheers!

Sorry forgot to mention that it would be weldless. I was trying to figure out which parts I'd need to order in addition. I'll have a go again to find the kits. Thank for both for the input.

Thanks for the input two_one_seven and JollyIsTheRoger.
