I’m glad you mentioned soaking the orange peel in vodka. I was just going to throw it in!

Thank you, I am planning on sharing this with quite a few different people that love blue moon. So yes, I may just skip the dry hop.

Hey all, I have a blue moon clone on day 5 of fermentation. It’s a 5 gallon batch and I happen to have 0.5 oz or Amarillo left in the freezer. Would this amount of dry hops be noticeable? And if so what are your opinions on using them? I also thought about throwing in some extra orange peel with...

Another Festbier, another night of football! It’s the season, Prost!

HB Festbier and college football Saturday. Life is good!

Really appreciate all this great information! Will give this a shot for my next batch!

I am not fly sparging, just a straight BIAB with some stirring every ten minutes. I killed the heat while letting the bag drain and the thought process is that the wort became over fermentable.

Alright, we tried the first growler tonight. It turned out a lot better than originally expected! The carbonation and time helped tremendously! Next time I will ensure the mash-in doesn’t drop below 153 and also to perform a mash-out at 168. Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think it was a compounded problem with what you stated as well as my pH. I used a test strip and found out it wasn’t even reading on the range of 5.2 to 5.6 during dough in. So I’m thinking that lead to more fermentables and less dextrins.

Also, when letting my bag drain after the mash, I killed the heat on my kettle and let it sit for another 10 minutes. That could also of been why those dextrins were broken down further yet leading to a “watery” beer.

This is a great piece of advice. I tried to mash at 152, but when I doughed in it dropped to around 147 for a couple minutes or so. So I turned the heat back up and then stabilized it at 152. Looks like that could have been the issue

I thought so too until I put some in a regular glass. It ended up looking more like Busch light 😭

Appreciate it, I’ll report back in a couple weeks.

Much appreciated, I’ll report back once carbonation is complete.

I brewed my first all grain batch four weeks ago, I utilized BIAB and did a full volume boil based on John Palmers BIAB targets. I linked the recipe will all details. I just bottled it last night and it looked good in the fermenter (picture attached). But once I siphoned some out for a FG...
