I kegged 2 dry-hopped beers last week before going on vacation. Came back to a couple of clogged dip tubes, I guess I racked a bit much trub into my kegs. I took apart the keg and the pop-it was stuffed full of hops, along with the dip tubes. I cleaned and put things back together, clogged...

Thanks for the replies everyone. So I'm going to tweak things a little bit. Based on other hoppy session ales out there, I was shooting for 35-40 IBUs. Many of the 3.8-4.5% ABV ones out there have in the 45-60 range, I thought with the drop in ABV, dropping the IBUs fairly proportionately was a...

I'm trying to make a beer that is hop forward, malt balanced, and very low ABV (was hoping for 2.5-3%). Here is the recipe I am thinking, hoping for some feedback. 4.25 LB Munich 10L 1.25 LB Victory 1 LB Crystal 10L .5 oz Centennial- 60 min. .5 oz Centennial- 10 min. .5 oz Chinook-...

Drooling over here. All of this looks amazing!

Thank You, very good read! Still decisions to make when it comes to kegging time, but I like that as an option!

I brewed this 2 days ago without realizing it called for 6 gallons. I have 5 in the carboy, should I leave it be or add boiled top of water now? (Mine was all grain)

I brewed this beer yesterday. Was trying to figure out all last night how I missed my gravity by such a large #. My OG was 1.082. Now I realize this should have been a 6-gallon instead of a 5-gallon batch. I'm assuming at this point it is probably best to just let it ride out, take a bit...

Yes Please!

Definitely in for this!

+ 3 Gallons of Smash Cream Ale= 10718.5

Forgot to stop by with a report. It all got drank, and rather quickly! I had 5-gallons of this (per recipe) and 5-gallons of a wheat beer, both floated early on and I had many people tell me they really liked this one, and many people tell me the liked the other one. Thanks for the recipe...

10 gal coolers are not big enough for a typical 10-gallon batch. I have a 10-gallon square cooler as my mash tun and had issues on a very high gravity (no sparge) 5-gallon batch. You may be able to get away with a 10-gallon batch on a very low gravity beer.

Mragin covered most of it... One other thing to think of is any minor bugs in a batch will multiply greatly with each additional pitch. If your sanitation practices are lacking at all you could see issues, most likely not from a first time re-pitch, but always a chance.

The most a LB of DME should cost you is like $5, it is one of those things that is always nice to have a few extra LB on hand though... I'd say give it a shot at a fix, with it being a Blonde the DME should be a good substitute for a diluted batch. I'd do what Yooper said with the batch...

How much water are you talking about? Sterile water would simply water down the beer, if there were bugs in it it could infect it... If it was your typical tap water and not a large amount I wouldn't worry too much about it...

What yeast are you using? What types of beers? It is probably a bit early to know for sure, but there are a lot of details left out...

Please tell me you're kidding...

So I was brewing today, AG using the batch sparge method and thought of an Idea that could potentially save me 20 min or so on my brewday. How I did my brew today, I mashed for 1hr, collected my first runnings and stuck them on the burner to have that portion be boiling to make the total...

Brewed tonight to serve at my wedding on June 15th! Thanks for the recipe!
