So I brewed this beer in November. My brew came out with a higher OG and ended up at about 5% abv. It was a decent beer after some cold aging. It did taste a lot like a BMC beer but I was expecting something more flavorful. I got no hop flavor at all. I was expecting just a touch. I took the...

Did you ever brew this monster? How'd it turn out?

I recently brewed a batch of rye ipa designed for 5.5 gals and 1.061 OG at 65% effeciency. I used beersmith to calculate everything including my yeast starter. I don't have a stir plate so beersmith always tells me to make a 3L starter. I used 10 oz DME for the starter + 3/4gal of water...

I always use that style blow off tube. It works perfectly and never had any clogs. It does get nasty pretty quick though.

Weed growers do this stuff too to make extremely concentrated oils. The super critical extractions can come out to 70-80% THC. But There's easier ways to do it that still make good product. Im sure this technique could easily be converted to hops extraction. There's no need to do supercritical...

Any update?

how did this beer turn out? I really like the o'ryley ipa

+5 = 4757 gallons

Just for reference, here is the recipe corrected for the yeast starter I added and the sugar I want to add. I use www.brewersfriend.com to make my recipes: Batch Size: 5.5 gal OG: 1.073 FG: 1.018 IBUs: 128.63 ABV: 7.34% Fermentables 14.0 lb Pale 2-Row (75.6%) 1.25 lb Munich (6.9%)...

the IBU's have gone down from the original planned recipe because I did put a 3/4 gallon starter in it (the beer came up a 1/4 gal short before I added it anyway). I'm pretty happy with the IBUs right now. Could be lower, but oh well. The increased alcohol from the sugar should lower the...

I'm not really worried about sanitation if that's what you're saying. I have very good sanitation techniques. I also don't think i'll ruin it by adding a small amount of sugar. I spent quite a bit of money on this beer and don't want to wait to adjust it next time because I'm not sure when...

I mashed low at around 151. I did not add any sugar originally to the recipe. Last time I mashed low the beer did not finish any lower than a regular mash temp.

I don't have any DME

I've looked on the forums and can't find a specific answer to this question so here it goes: I recently brewed a IIPA. The original recipe was set to produce an OG of around 1.082. For whatever reason I had horrible efficiency and the OG came out as 1.070. I also added a 3L wort starter which...

I havent been able to find any definitive information on this in off the SS vs Al pot discussions. But do you think there is any noticable difference in propane usage given the fact that the thermal conductivity of Al is so much better than SS. For reference the conduction coefficient of Al is...

Double the bittering hops or just the FF?

What do you mean?

taste?

Well, I was going for something that was on the bordered on the lines of an APA and an IPA. Or a big APA as you say. Glad you thought that too. When you say not hoppy enough do you mean not bitter enough or not enough hop flavor/aroma? BrewersFriend gave me 6.6% ABV at 1.067 OG. I was actually...

Hey HBT. First time poster. Long time troller. I recently used some falconers flight in an IPA for dry hops and loved them. I decided to make an all falconers flight IPA. well mostly. Using magnum to bitter to save $$$. I am thinking of continuously hopping 2 ounces of FF from 20-0 mins and 1oz...
