    Amount of hops for dry hop, and opinion on which varieties

    Currently fermenting a NEIPA, which despite my dislike of standard West Coast IPA's, has really pulled me in. I'm looking for help determining how much of each hop to use for my dry hop, and which ones to use. My hop schedule was: 1.50 oz Warrior [15.60 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 6 39.5 IBUs...

    Beer Tastes "Flat" - Water Report and Additions Help

    I am looking to see what I can do to change my water profile in order to start really helping make the flavors pop in each of my beers. I tried poking around with Bru'n but I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'm not sure if I'm entering everything correctly. Typically I've only ever used...

    SS Brewtech Purchase - What to do...

    I haven't brewed in what feels like forever, and I want to get back into it full swing, but want to do so with good equipment. I've used budget equipment for a while now, shored up my brewing process, and feel like I can really treat myself to some good equipment and really put it to good use...

    Milk Stout Recipe - Suggestions/Tweaks

    Coming up on a local brewing competition and I want to try to get this recipe nailed down for it. I made this recipe as follows last year, and while it received decent praise, the scores were relatively low (mid to high 20's). Part of the reason was due to it being scored in the wrong category...

    Tales of Fermentation - Mishaps Galore!

    Lots of serious inquires on the page here, and inspired by a couple of comments I saw today, I thought I might start this off and see what other interesting stories we might get! Apologies if this against the forum rules. You haven't lived life until you come around the corner at 5am starting...

    plastic off flavor from better bottle

    Tl;Dr at the bottom. I'm thinking there isn't much I can do at this point other than give it time and pray, but here's the scoop. I made a Munich Dunkel on 12/31, ended up being super efficient and had 8 gallons on a 6 gallon batch. Could only fit 6 gallons in my primary and didn't want to...

    Green Taste - Pellet Hops

    So as the title suggests, I have what I believe is a green taste to my beer, but I've never had a beer turn out green before (at least that I noticed) so I'm not exactly sure that's what's happening or if I messed up. I made a Porter, second time I've made the recipe, but I tweaked it...

    Dark Ale - Too Plain/dry

    Update! I transferred this to a keg last night, and did a finally gravity reading, tasting the beer in the process; I was immediately excited as the beer had picked up a little more sweetness and lost quite a bit of the dryness that it had a few days ago. I kegged it and force carbed it, pulled...
