Anybody mention Porkslap? Because that is nasty stuff.

bummer - I started with a 1.083 OG and calculated IBUs at 110... hopefully it balances out... no matter...Good to the last drop. :D

during my last batch, i used a hop plugs rather than pellets (haven't used fresh hops yet). I noticed that the muslin bag i used to contain the hops was floating and packed once the hops saturated. is there reason to believe that i will not receive enough of the flavors i was looking for...

Hey SmokingJohn, I had a similar issue with another IPA due to warm new england temps. I gave the carboy a few good swirls to stir my little yeastie friends and they got back to work.my sg went from 1.022 to 1.014 in a week. Not sure if you added anything to it since you posted but the swirl...

I'll play - 15 in two months! =19,190 + 15 = 19,205

I guess that's the thing... I can get another in primary and I dont have 45 gallons in my pipeline...I'm bone dry and hoping to get this one ready for when I get back. As far as dry hopping, do I lose anything with a 4 week dry hop?

...That is the question. So... still new to this. I brewed an IPA on 7/28 (my second brew) with an og of 1.051. I checked it on 8/12 and it was a 1.020...a little high. I gave it a couple swirls and later that night it was a krausening and everything. A happy camper I was. (full...

I did dry pitch it... I think this next batch I'll show my friends some additional love :)

Excellent! You guys rule. This is such a great community!!

Ok - 2nd batch in and I looked at some of the infection threads and mine is different - my "infection" is at the top of the carboy... any thoughts? I had a few homebrews and craftbrews and it hasnt helped.... photo on Flickr - Photo Sharing! it's all the white dots at the top...is this...

I've read that I will learn patience when brewing. I finished up my 2nd brew, going for a super hoppy IPA. I took some liberties with a recipe from the joys of hb.... Here's how I cooked: 3/4 lb 2-row roasted barley + 6 oz of crushed crystal steeped at 150-160 degrees for 30 minutes and...

Oh hi there. You may remember me from drinking the hoppiest brew I can find. or horrible spelling and grammar. I brewed my first batch and it's not total swill and that made me smile. Going nuts and want to learn more more more. Current favorites are Haverhill Brewery's DIPA...
