Hi all, I recently bought some Southern Tropic (South Africa) hops, formerly known as experimental XJA2. I plan to use them in a NEIPA, any ideas or experience what hops would pair well with these? I have Citra, Strata, Galaxy, Mosaic Cryo, El Dorado, Taiheke, Enigma, Motueka, and bits of...

Hey all, I am trying to brew my first sour beer (a Flanders Red) and I am stuck between two recipes. I don't know much about sour brewing so I was wondering which one looks better and if you all would suggest any modifications? Many thanks in advance! A) All Grain 65% efficiency Batch...

Hey all, I have been having issues with oxidized beer. Like almost every time I brew. And with multiple styles: IPAs, pale ales, and even a Saison. Only one I couldnt tell was a stout. I have been trying to use the best low-oxygen process (that I am able to). Here is a look at my general process...

I have attempted to bottle condition some beer (which i have done successfully in the past) and after 2 weeks it is not showing any signs of being carbonated… I brewed my NEIPA ~3 weeks ago with Verdant IPA yeast (1 whole packet in 2.5 gal). It fermented in 3 days at 68 and i left it sit in...

Im having trouble with my beers oxidizing within just a couple weeks of bottling. Not just hoppy beers, but malty styles too. Beers get that cardboard sweetness and hop flavor disappearing as quickly as one week. Yes, i bottle, but 1) other people bottling dont seem to have this problem as...

Hey yeast experts, I am curious is there a limit to how many times one can repitch yeast at the homebrew level? I know commercial breweries have "house cultures" that they reuse. Do they just grow the yeast up after each brew and repitch indefinitely? Or do they have to order fresh batches from...

Just finished making a Juicy IPA. Turned out wonderfully. Huge flavors and aromas of peach, apricot, and orange! Attenuated well but still had pleasant sweetness and mildly creamy mouthfeel. Just enough IBUs to be balanced but not noticeably bitter. Extract 5.5 gal 3 gal boil 1lb English Oat...

Hey all, I'm a new homebrewer (3 batches so far) and I have read a ton on the subject. Just wanted some expert advice on the tentative recipe for my next brew: Northern Brewer Ace of Spades Black IPA Extract 5 gal fermenter 3 gal boil Steeping Grains 0.75 lbs Briess midnight Wheat 0.625 lbs...
