Well, you have 3 oz. of hops on your post that you wanted to use, and when you convert the grams into ounces it only equals a little over 2 oz. And you mixed them all up to begin with? Who knows what is going on....

If you can make it to Milwaukee, Lakefront brewery is great. There is also Sprecher brewery, which is so so. If you are looking to buy beer, Discount Liquor is the place to go.

A common practice these days is to do just what mentioned above. Unless bulk aging, dry hopping, adding fruit, etc., a lot of people just let it ride in primary. Transferring it is fine though as well. Just be sanitary. :mug:

The only real advantage to liquid yeast is strain availability.There are only so many dry strains, yet many liquid. As long as you aren't wanting yeast characteristics in your beer, dry will suffice.

Northern Brewer is pretty great. I've never dealt with Austin Homebrew Supply, but I have heard they are good too.

541 + 6 gallons Red Rye PA = 547

I tasted this at bottling and was very pleased with how it turned out. If you like Amarillo and Simcoe, you will love this beer. I'll update in a few weeks when it is all carbed up.

6 Gallons of Nut Brown = 261

Sounds like yeast rafts. But without a picture, it is hard to be sure.

To calculate ABV you need a starting gravity and a final gravity. Cider will finish at 1.0 or below. Without a hydrometer reading before fermentation takes place, it will be hard to figure out what the alcohol content is.

Sounds dumb, but are you positive you added the priming solution? There is always trapped C02 in beer which could explain the small hiss when you open them. Stranger things have happened...

Thanks for the input. I adjusted the hop schedule in the original post. :mug::mug:

Good point. I do like Simcoe for bittering though. I will add another 1 oz. Simcoe hop addition at 5 minutes. It will add a little to the IBU's, but not too much. Seem reasonable?

70 degrees seems a little high for ambient temp. What yeast are you using? What are the beer styles?

I really like the way that Simcoe and Amarillo work together so I want to brew an IPA that really lets them shine. This is what I came up with. Any thoughts? Method: All Grain Style: American IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 5.5 gallons Boil Size: 7 gallons Boil Gravity: 1.048...

Get a bigger pot? :D

When I brew I take an hour long starsan soak in the tub and immediately put on a hazmat suit. Anybody else?!? ;)

Beer is defined by ingredients. Water, Hops, Barley, Yeast.

When the clock reads 10:56 and you immediately think of yeast.
