Cool, thanks for all the comments. It seems like the consensus is that there's too much roasted barley. I don't think my LHBS has debittered black, so if I took it down to 2 oz of roasted barley would that get me the color without too much roast flavor? Or should I sub it for another malt?

This is my first time doing a red rye IPA and I'd like some input on my recipe. Thanks for your help! Red Rye IPA All Grain: 5.00 Gal ABV: 6.67% OG: 1.065 FG: 1.014 IBUs: 61 Color: 15.8 SRM 90 minute BIAB mash @ 152 60 minute boil Grist: 10 # US 2-Row 2 # Rye Malt 8 oz...

I would also like to know how much citric acid to use per gallon of water

Okay, well the quad is all brewed up this weekend and is bubbling away in the fermenter. Had some parts of the brewday that went really well and some not so much, but hopefully won't adversely affect the beer too much. Did a protein rest at 130 for 20 minutes which went smoothly. The sacc...

I was thinking about a protein rest. Spent enough on the ingredients so might as well do it. I'll add in a 20 min protein rest at 130

Well ingredients have been bought gonna be brewing this weekend. The adjusted recipe is as follows: Belgian Quad 5 gal OG: 1.091 FG: 1.009 estimated ABV 11% IBUS: 24 Color: 27 srm 10 lbs Pilsner Malt (Bel) 5 lbs Munic 2 lbs D-180 Candi Sugar 2 oz Fuggles @ 60 (LHBS was out of Styrian...

Thanks! This controller may make it feasible for me to add recirculation to my own eBIAB rig!

Awesome build! Did you build the controller yourself or did you buy it from somewhere?

Another question that has popped up: Should I do a protease rest? Many other recipes for quads/trappist ales that I've seen seem to have a protease rest due to the pilsner malt. Would it be beneficial to do one or would it just be extra work for not much gain? I do electric BIAB so raising...

Interesting point. Part of me really likes the idea of experimenting with such a simple grain bill to see what happens, but I definitely like really malty, full trappist ales. Perhaps using 10 lbs Pilsner malt and 6 lbs munich malt would contribute some more maltiness while still keeping the...

Sounds tasty! Definitely interested in how the strawberry/rhubarb variation comes out.

Looking at doing my first Quad, here's a simple recipe that I came up with. Any advice is welcome. Simple Quad Belgian Dark Strong Ale 5 gal Estimated ABV: 12.8% OG: 1.103 FG 1.007 IBUs: 27.2 Color: 34 SRM Grains: 16 lb Pilsner Malt 3 lb D-180 Candi Syrup @ last 15 minutes of boil...

Just thought of another question, how long does this have to condition in the bottle? I assume that I shouldn't wait too long or the hop aroma will fade right?

Did an all citra IPA a short while ago that turned out amazing, so now I'd like to do a big ol' Imperial IPA to dazzle my hophead friends. Any suggestions on the recipe are greatly appreciated! Imperial IPA Batch Size: 5 gal estimated ABV: 10% O.G: 1.085 F.G: 1.010 Estimated IBU: 142 Color...

Awesome! Thanks for the links Sent from my Nexus 7 using Home Brew mobile app

hmm, looks like I would be able to fit 1 of those in my pot but I'd need 2 of them to get a boil in a reasonable amount of time :/ I don't think it'd be able to fit 2 in..

ok, time for an update on progress. The stout has been in primary for about a week and a half now and visible fermentation has pretty much subsided. I drew a hydrometer and small tasting sample to see where we are. The hydrometer showed that the beer is down to about 1.027, which I found...

just bottled today. The beer was nice and dark and very clear. Tasted very good but will maybe too much of a bitter afterbite. We'll see how it is after carbonation and conditioning, maybe the bitterness of the roasted malts will mellow a little bit.

That element looks awesome but my pot has a 14.5" diameter so I don't think a 15" element would fit :/ Sent from my Nexus 7 using Home Brew mobile app

Anyone have some suggestions for a good 120v 1650W water heating element to upgrade my 10g Winware aluminum stock pot so that I can eBIAB? I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K7RJQQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 but does anyone have a better suggestion? I will be using two of...
