I do a lot of first wort hopped brews. I'm not sure how that would work for a 90 min brew when most still add their hops with 60 min remaining when doing a 90 min boil. I guess I would have to try it and see, maybe add a small amount of bittering hops at 60?

I have the same issue with my brother and sister. We started a few years ago drawing names so we only had to buy one gift.(Two if you are married) and my wife and I would get a name and ask what they want. We would get a link to a website one time the link was to the check out page of the...

They come with a port that can have a tap or a screw top that plugs the hole. I have probably made over 40 batches with mine and use the tap every time. Have never had a batch contaminated or a leak. Makes taking samples for gravity readings really easy too. Its not any different than a plastic...

I have 2 of the 30L Spiedel fermentors. Absolutely love them. By far one of the best investments I have made. They come with handles on the sides. They don't flex or burp when moved, I've never had a leak, and you can rack to keg, secondary or bottling bucket without a siphon. I run off about...

I do a SMaSH brew with 2row and mosaic. It has alot of grapefruit. Very simple and very drinkable. First wort hopped and then dry hopped in the keg. Has a fantastic aroma and flavor.

The 72% efficiency is and assumed amount by beersmith, to find your actual click on the mash tab to the right of the design tab, insert your pre boil volume and gravity after lautering is and sparaging are complete, enter the final gravity and volume after boiling is complete and it will tell...

I had a lot of similar issues when i first started brewing all grain. The first thing I did was to make sure that my mash set up was calibrates in beersmith correctly, meaning dead loss, and volumes. Use the equipment wizard if you have not am make sure that everything is accurate. Second, i...

One more question, did you dry hop on day 14 for 7 days to make a total of 21 days or did you dry hop on day 21 and let it condition/dry hop till day 28? So far so good. Have hit all numbers and had 78% efficiency per pre boil gravity and volume. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. The aau was different. I had it at 13.9 i think yours were at 13.2, you are prob right, the fwh is prob different. Ill let you know how it turns out in a few weeks. Thanks again! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

What temp did you mash at? I'm thinking about 147 or so to keep it dry with the higher ABV. I did not get the same numbers as you when I put the recipe in beersmith. Using the same hop schedule, I got 75 IBU's not 65 and my ABV and color are slightly lower? Any ideas? Brewing today, very...

Having both a 2 two tap keg system and bottling some batches. This would work perfectly for a "best of both worlds" situation. Should have thought about this way before now.

I only suggested Greensboro because that was a city listed on their travel plans. I would go to Raleigh before I went to Asheville. You could visit 30 breweries and never go more than 30 miles.

Greensboro NC has Foothills, Natty Greens, Red Oak, here is a link to NC breweries. Check it agains your route and see where you can stop. http://www.ncbeer.org/brewery-map/ there is alot of fantastic beer made in NC. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I had miss haps through the first 6-8 batches when I made the jump to AG hahaha. Every time was a different miss hap from the time before, but all were very drinkable brews. I've had a stuck sparge, low efficiency, crush too fine, then to coarse....Then finally it all clicked on the last batch...

This is definitely one of the most interesting threads I have read. Would love to see some new pics of the the new trellis and the progress. I agree with one of the previous posts that for a plant that old may be worth getting it tested to find out what it is. Keep the info coming! Cheers
