I have 8 oz. of Bru-1 (2021) and 8 oz. of Chinook (2019)... both kept cold and vacuum sealed in original packaging from YVH. I have never used a pound of hops in a 5.5 gallon batch but want to give it a go. The Bru-1 (Lupomax) is 18% AA and the Chinook is 13.4% AA. My plan is for no boil...

Anyone by chance have a recipe for this? Trying to break my IPA habit and really like the taste of this one. Thanks!

I have a Spike CF-5 (2” dump port). Dumping trub and dry hops remains a challenge. I’ve tried slow & fast opening of the butterfly valve, dumping under 8 psi pressure as well as no pressure, tried various temps from 50 to 70 degrees F, I’ve taken a rubber mallet and tapped on the conical and...

I stopped using my plate chiller and 2 vessel setup… went BIAB to simplify my brew day and put my Jaded Hydra IC back into service to help lighten the cleanup. Today was my first brew on the new system and, because I could, I decided to throw the whirlpool hops in commando. When the kettle was...

I’m sure increased revenue is a factor as some are likely pitching 1+ packets for a 5-6 gallon batch. I’d like to see dry yeast manufacturers increase the single packet size to 15-18 grams. Most of my beers are around 1.065 OG and all dry yeast calculators say I need 14-16 grams. I’ve always...

I'm going to brew a fruit beer based on the recipe in this video... . I've not seen many who have done this. Most recommend adding fruit puree to a secondary. I'd like to try adding it to the serving keg prior to racking the beer but concerned that once carbonated and chilled, the fruit puree...

Does anyone know which one of these counterflow chillers is better? Thinking of ditching my plate chiller so I can let my whirlpool hops swim freely. https://www.exchilerator.com/product/maxx-counterflow-wort-chiller/ https://www.zchillers.com/product/large-zchiller/

Looking for some help here. The attached image shows the "Est ABV" (on the left) as 6.8% based on the "Est OG" of 1.068. When I input 1.068 in the "Measured OG" field (on the right), it gives me a "Measured ABV" of 7.7%. Having a hard time figuring out what is causing the difference. Thanks.

Best thing is that on kegging day, the cleaning, sanitizing and purging will already be done. Great brew day today in the northeast.

Having now tweaked my cooling system method over several brewdays, I've been getting amazing performance from this chiller. Most recent batch was 5.75 gallons after killing the boil. I cooled the wort to 180F, and held that temp for a 30 minute hop whirlpool, then transferred directly through...

I'm planning to brew an IPA and the recipe calls for 2 separate dry hop additions. The first dry hop added at high krausen for 5 days and the second dry hop added after FG is reached for 3 days. No overlap of the two dry hops. My question is how best to remove the first dry hop material prior...

I relocated a temperature probe on my K-Rims system and had to disassemble several parts on my Spike BK & MT. I noticed what appeared to be rust/staining on the threads inside some of the NPT couplings. Unfortunately, I didn't capture a picture before putting everything back together. There...

I finally got to use my newly purchased CF5 conical. I currently brew using Spike’s mash tun and boil kettle for my 2-kettle RIMS system. Here are my thoughts; 1. All components arrived nicely packaged and are beautifully manufactured, highly polished, and the quality of the material and the...
