This beer is a west coast IPA inspired by one of my "always in the fridge" beers, Swami's IPA from Pizza Port. The name of the game here is to be dry, clean and hoppy, at about 6.5-7% ABV. This means no crystal or characterful malts, a healthy dose of isomerized AA, but also a lot of late...

Since I began brewing about 2 years ago, I've done various iterations of BIAB (used different fineness of bags, tried no sparge vs. "dunk" batch sparge, etc). One common theme, besides progressively making better beer, has been extremely fermentable wort; I have never had a beer finish above...

Hey guys, Wondering if there is a thread somewhere with recipes/tutorials on making different specialty malts from base malts. My closest LHBS is over an hour away, and right now, all I have is a sack of Great Western two-row, so I'm interested in trying my hand at modifying it. For instance...

I have about 10 BIAB brews under my belt, and while they have been getting increasingly better, I've noticed the maltiness of my beers just don't "pop" the way commercial brews do. I use a 7.5 gallon kettle and for most brews get about 4.5 gallons of first runnings and dunk sparge another 2.5...

Curious as to whether people have tried dry hopping a Stout with these newer, fruitier hops (galaxy, citra, Nelson, etc). I realize that RIS are very bitter and some people may dry hop with something piney but that's not what I'm talking about. The goal would be to create fruit flavor that...

Picked up a kit at my homebrew shop that is a basic Belgian blonde that I was planning to ferment with some leftover 3711 and then sour via a vial of white labs Lacto D. My goal is to make a sour saison. Guy at the homebrew shop made the process sound very simple; Brew and ferment with sacc...

Hi guys, Been lurking around for a while, and have seen a lot of great info about brew house efficiency, but haven't seen how to address the problem I'm having with my setup so sorry if it's been asked a thousand times. I do BIAB, got about four 5-gallon batches under my belt, and am getting...

My brew buddy and I brewed our first 5 gallon, all grain beer several weeks ago. We have brewed a few times but have never really gotten a beer we were proud of for whatever reason. Well our first full batch is done. I'll post the recipe and my thoughts/pics below. ------------- Hoppy APA...

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to brewing. My buddy and I just brewed two gallons of a Citra IPA (into two one gallon glass jugs). On brew day we got our wort as low as we could (took 15 pounds of ice) and pitched at about 75F. Since ambient temp of my apartment is still too hot for ale in SoCal...
