  Chinook seems to be a love it or hate it dry hop addiction. I enjoy it as a dh, but I'll use 1
  oz Chinook, and 3-4 oz of a mix of citra, Amarillo, and simcoe.

  11 grams is most common for a 5 gallon batch, but that all depends on the starting gravity and

  It's cooking now. 75Slowly lower that to 68-70 for 2 days or so, and then let it warm up on its
  own. 75 is a little warm to start with that yeast. IMO the best flavor come from starting at 68

  I've never had a long lag time with this yeast. But I always pitch a big active starter. No

  bottle. Leave the...

  I'm making my first yeast starter for this. I rehydrated 2 packs of US 05 and boiled 1 cup of
  DME in 4 cups of water, pitched the yeast and topped up to 1 liter in 2 separate containers.I
  got Centenni...

  No airlock activity after 48 hrs.Still normal. Its super slow to start, but when it gets going
  it goes nuts. It took my last BDS from 1.12 to 1.011 in about 1 week.
