Correct.

I did this exactly and got another 10 gallons of wort. I believe it came in at 1.032 (it's close to that) and finished at 1.002. Interesting to say the least. Single hopped with Centennial.

I'm in! This is awesome!

Here's a good article relating to this. This was also extracted from BA: Per Matt B. of Firestone Walker: "Adding hops late in the whirlpool results in lower isomerization of alpha acids and good uptake of hop oils and flavor components (especially with pellet hops). The fact that there is...

Here's a good primer: Mash Temps Illustrated Simply put: The two main enzymes active during the mash are alpha and beta amylase. Alpha amylase, which is most active in the 154-167F/68-75C range, creates longer sugar chains that are less fermentable, resulting in a beer with more body. Beta...

Put all the contents back into another bucket if you have one. If you don't, just package the beer. It's ready.

You need to throw that rubber piece away. It's not helping anything. The metal mesh will act as a fine filter. As far as the cloudiness, you need to vorlauf. This means using a clear glass (pyrex measuring cup) or something clear to capture the 1st runnings and return them to the top of the...

Please keep in mind that this was not intended to be a clone. DeSchutes uses CC75, which is why you're lacking the reddish color. I simply added wheat for head retention. They used to have more information on their site than this, but: Here is what they offer They mash at a higher temp...

Here's a great thread talking about that... You should be fine with that @ 1.25 q/L. It will be a little thick but you should be fine. Stir every 15 minutes :).

I think I've found the same recipe on NorthernBrewer with a different name (they are the same company you know ;) )

Have any of you called your local brewery and just asked if they can sell you a bag from time to time? I have with much success and get them for $37. Win-win!

Brew Method: All Grain Style Name: American IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 5.5 gallons (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 7 gallons Boil Gravity: 1.050 Efficiency: 72% (brew house) STATS: Original Gravity: 1.063 Final Gravity: 1.010 ABV (standard): 7.08% IBU (tinseth): 55.37 SRM (morey): 9.01...

You're getting a higher brewhouse efficiency than planned. I use brewer's friend and I am able to calculate my efficiency based on my OG gravity readings. Once I brew, if I overshoot and know the efficiency, I am able to re-calculate my recipe (less grain) to achieve the desired numbers. If...

I've use California Common on this with no issue. I think any neutral yeast strain will work.

These ! If you cut both in half, you have 4 pieces to use :)

It's not like I was getting overcarbed beer. The foam didn't dissipate well and it kind of reminded me of a root beer float creamy froth. Since I removed the wheat, the head issue went away. It's just what worked for me.

The Munich will give you the body/backbone you're looking for.

I have since removed the wheat entirely and bumped up the Munich to compensate for it. That's it really. I noticed the wheat caused too much unsettling head after being poured out of a keg.

Keep it simple: Pale 2-Row 80% Munich - Light 10L 15% Caramel / Crystal 60L 5%
